Atul Sahay with his family |
Vision lost, not courage!
This is unbelievable, heartwarming and breathtaking.
This is India!
A true story of the 41 year-old Tata Steel executive from Jamshedpur, India who completed an extremely treacherous 70 km Mangli Adi-Kailash (16,000 ft) trek in 14 days virtually on his own, with his luggage on his back as other hikers do.
Atul Ranjan Sahay lost his vision when he was 23 due to a retina problem but not his courage! He has trekked on many dangerous routes but to Adi-Kailash was the most difficult one, he says. He wants other visually impaired people like him to get inspired from he is doing.
"I want them to live a life full of joy as I do," said Sahay.
Girdhar Manral, Manager (adventure), Kumaon Mandal Vikas Nigam, State of Uttarakhand, India recalls,
"The Adi-Kailash expedition (KMVN arranges such adventures and expeditions), was the kind of expedition in which only professional mountaineers participated." "Besides, neither mules or porters were the part of this mission so all trekkers, including Sahay, carried luggage on their back."
Sahay, who has visited eight countries on his own, says, "It is because of my positive attitude that I seek no help from others"
"It is my way of inspiring people and not get bogged down by them"
We salute to such people!!
