Mr. Rintu Adhikary, Senior Trek Consultant of Chuchura Padatik (High Altitude Trek Solution), has successfully completed a self-supported solo expedition to Mount Kanamo (5,965 m) in the Spiti Valley, along with the challenging Parang La (5,600 m) crossover into Ladakh, in July 2025. This achievement highlights his long-standing dedication to high-altitude trekking and his ability to take on some of the most demanding routes in the Indian Himalaya.

      A self-supported expedition requires a trekker to carry all supplies independently, without relying on local assistance. This form of trekking demands not only exceptional endurance but also careful preparation, route planning, and risk management. Mr. Adhikary, with years of field experience, brought to this expedition his deep understanding of geophysical conditions, topographical variations, and route dynamics. Known among peers for his rigorous habit of studying maps, terrain profiles, and climatic patterns before any major climb, he has consistently demonstrated how analytical preparation is as vital as physical training in the mountains.

      Mount Kanamo, often referred to as the “White Peak” or “Peak of the Goddess”, rises to 5,965 meters above sea level and is considered a technically demanding objective due to its altitude, steep approach, and exposure. Completing a solo ascent on this peak already places the expedition in a category of rare accomplishments. Adding to this, Mr. Adhikary crossed the Parang La, a high-altitude pass that connects Spiti Valley with the remote Changthang region of Ladakh. Known for its isolation, rugged terrain, and extreme weather shifts, the Parang La route requires not only stamina but also expert route-finding skills.

      This journey demonstrates the value of systematic preparation and self-reliance. It reflects Mr. Adhikary’s ability to combine physical resilience with technical expertise, while also underlining his long association with Chuchura Padatik. As a senior consultant, he has guided and mentored countless trekkers over the years, and his own expedition experiences continue to add depth to his role within the organization.

       The successful completion of this solo expedition stands as both a professional milestone and an inspiration for the trekking community. It reinforces the idea that with discipline, knowledge, and respect for the mountains, even the most challenging undertakings can be realized.

        Chuchura Padatik extends its heartiest congratulations to Mr. Rintu Adhikary for this great achievement.
