COMMUNITY HIGHLIGHTS
Steps that shape us: From Kerala to the Himalayas
Satheesh’s journey began at Puralimala in Kannur - a 3,000 ft peak steeped in history and quiet strength. What started as a trek through the Western Ghats soon ignited a deep love for nature, adventure, and the discipline of walking through wild landscapes..
Drawn by the freedom and challenge of the trail, he later set his sights on the Himalayas, where the harsh, high-altitude terrain tested his limits and deepened his connection to the land, teaching him resilience, solitude, and the raw beauty of the mountains
