Dream Wanderlust is thrilled to present the chronicles of Karn Kowshik - an Alpinist, Adventure Columnist and Documentarist, and a Mountain Guide from the foothills of Kumaon Himalayas. In the second installment of our Lecture Series, we bring you Karn, to spiel his narrative on the collective journey of the Indian climbing fraternity while he discourses on the age-old question - "What is the problem with Indian Mountaineering?"
There are mountains, particularly in some ranges of the Indian Himalaya; that have grown taller in our minds. Many of them are made taller, tougher and almost legendary by an intricate veil of mythology and mystery around them. Add a rich history of heroic explorations, epic ascents, tragic accidents and liberal dash of romanticism to that and you have Nanda Devi.
