🌍 Happy International Mountains Day 2025
Yesterday was more than a celebration — it was a reminder of why we climb, why we explore, and why the mountains shape who we are.
Honoured to receive the Certificate of Appreciation for summiting peaks and exploring 100+ alpine lakes across Kashmir. Grateful to the Department of and for recognising the passion, dedication, and love we carry for our mountains.
A big salute to all the inspiring speakers —
• , for his powerful insights on glaciers and their importance for our rivers and livelihood.
• The wildlife & bird photographer whose journey reminded us to slow down and observe the wild.
• And the brave soul who is visually impaired yet scaled the mighty Siachen Glacier — a true definition of courage.
Again grateful to and for empowering differently-abled adventurers with a stage to shine and proving that true exploration begins with courage, not physical ability.
To every mountain enthusiast who joined the event — your spirit keeps this community alive.
Let’s keep protecting, preserving, and celebrating the mountains that protect us. ⛰️💙
