The term trekking often adds to standing tilt, uneven terrain and images of peaks – not necessarily an activity that is accessible to people with disabilities.
Now, the goal is to break the trek barrier for all. With the aim of making trekking accessible for people with disabilities, both physical and mental, this initiative only promises more than adventure in the Himalayas – it offers a chance for consolation and personal development.
A Tour operator Aquater Adventures, a tour operator specialized in the Himalayan trip for 35 years, has participated with V-Shash, a firm, which provides an analogous solution to support individuals with special requirements and challenges such as addiction, depression and loneliness. Aquatter’s founder Vaibhav Kala shared, “We wanted to create an opportunity for those who feel isolated to challenge their boundaries.”
On 25 April, sixteen participants will go out on the trek for Dayara trek, (10,000 feet above sea level in Garhwal, Uttarakhand). Each participant will pay 15,000, subsidized by Metorus Trust and Aquaterrra cares.
One of the participants is Ajay Minocha, a 32 -year -old blind man who is eager to start the journey. He said, “I have increased the day during my time in IIM Indore, but this is my first long trek. Dayara Bagyal has always been in my bucket list, and I am finally thrilled to do so.”
The 28-year-old prosthetic leg user, witness, tells us, “This will be my first trekking experience. It’s something that I always dreamed, but have never had an opportunity or support till now-until now. It challenges the notion that people with disabilities should not participate in such activities or not.
Vaishnavi, a disability from V-Shash, emphasizes the importance of such initiatives: “We were inspired by the fact that most disability initiative focuses on employment, education and healthcare-focuses on all important aspects. However, there is a significant difference when we come comfortably.”
She says, “Consider blindly impaired professional who works every week, but craves more adventures, or a family that cannot plan a camp travel because their child is on autism spectrum, or an umptti that faces reluctance while trying to join adventure activities. This trek is just the beginning, and we are eager to get many people in the future.
