Char Dham Challenge

Nobody in the history has done the high altitude (over 18,500ft passes) traverse of Yamunotri, Gangotri, Badrinath and Kedarnath the very auspicious spiritual places of India located in Uttarakhand. Such is the difficulty of access and exploration involved in it that, usually the explorers and expeditions are content with doing one or two legs of this challenging traverse. Malli Mastan Babu, world's faster 7 summiter has taken up this challenge and dedicated it as a campaign for the cause of cancer cure.
