The summer holiday season in the state has expired prematurely this year. Now expectations of locals are associated with the adventure season which would last till late October. An aged renowned trekker of Parbati valley, Chhape Ram Negi who has explored every corner of Himalayas in past 30 years said thousands of trekkers from across the world are out with their instruments, tents and sleeping bags. He said, “This year’s heavy snowfall had caused delay in opening of most of the routes. Shimla, Manali, Dharamshala, Dalhousie and all tourist resorts of the state are reporting lean summer season but we are experiencing a good start of adventure season.” Having supporters abroad, Negi’s Himalayan Adventure and hostel is a leading rescue operation operator in the state which has rescued dozens of Indian and foreign trekkers in past three decades.

Depending upon the degree of difficulty, a trek route in Himachal can lead to a month long wild journey,” he said.
