Honour of Nagpur “Karen D’Souza crossed two mountains of Manali in 19 hours, set a record by traveling 126 km”
Nagpur runner Karen D’Souza has set a new record by crossing the 13,000 feet high Hamta and Rohtang Top of Manali in 19 hours. D’Souza started his running campaign from Manali at12 pm. By morning, D’Souza had crossed the 13,000 feet high Hamta tillage. Running from Hamta to Chhatdu and Chhatdu, crossed Rohtang and knocked at Manali at seven in the evening.
On reaching Manali, SDM Raman Gharsangi welcomed runner-up D’Souza. His entire team was there to help D’Souza. D’Souza completed the race under the supervision of Atal Bihari Bajpai Mountaineering Sports Institute Manali. Before starting the race everyone was saying that it was impossible, as trackers and locals complete the track in at least four days. But D’Souza completed the 126-km route in just 19 hours.
Crossing two passes simultaneously is a record in itself. Hamta and Rohtang Pass are more than 13 thousand feet high. The event called Triple Trouble Run was organized on behalf of Media Manali, in which Manali administration along with Atal Bihari Vajpayee Mountaineering Institute also supported.
Team members Prashant Bhatt, Aditya Bikram Pandey, Mohit Sharma, Utkarsh Mittal, Abhilash Mahajan, Rahul Rawat, Kshitij Gupta and Shukla Gupta told that they supported D’Souza in making this campaign a success. He said that in the presence of the administration, at midnight, D’Souza started running from Manali and reached D’Souza Hamta holdings via Aleu, Preani and Sethan. The runner crossed the hammata non-stop and knocked towards Lahul in Chhatdudu. D’Souza reached Gramphu via the road from Chhatdu, from where he crossed the Rohtang Pass.
Want To Motivate Youth –
Motivating the youth of the country towards the race is the main objective of these campaigns. Also I want to attract the attention of people towards tracking. Today the youth is deviating from its goal. But if you are aware of the race, then in the sports, along with illuminating the name of the country, you can also avoid bad company. I give priority to find new possibilities to encourage long distance running, adventure sports and tourism in the country and also to keep the Himalayas and nature clean and clean.
Tremendous & Admirable
SDM Manali Raman Gharsangi says “The Running Man Karen D’Souza has covered the distance of Manali, Hamta, Chhatdu, Rohtang, Manali, 126 km in 19 hours. He has also crossed the Hamta and Rohtang Pass from 13 thousand feet high. Is a tremendous and admirable achievement.”
