We, a gang of six members from Chennai, Tamilnadu crossed MayaliPass, in the month of June-July 2008....
This was my first "true" trek and during the trek, was blaming myself for taking this adventurous trek.
We could be the first Tamil gang who might have crossed this adventurous trek....
Thankfully we had completed this trek in the first attempt itself... all the credit goes to our guide ....although he was not with us during the trek, he provided us a great team which comprised of one skilled guide, two awesome cooks and ten worthy helpers....
These people helped us a lot, without them i might not have even reached "Reeh"..
