Reminiscence
The first all women expedition of West Bengal was held in the year 1970. It was an unnamed peak in the Bara Sigri Glacier. The team was lead by Smt. Sujaya Guha . She alongwith Smt. Sudipta Sengupta and Smt. Kamala Saha were Climbed the peak. They named the peak as “Lalana”. It was also first virgin peak above 20,000 climbed by Indian Women. Smt. Kamala Saha and Smt. Sujaya Guha were died in an accident in Karcha nala.
Keeping that in mind this year we planned our 34th Expedition to Mt. Lalana, at Bara Shigri Glacier, Himachal Pradesh. Location of the peak is 32014’09’’(N) Latitude and 77032’23’’(E) Longitude and height 6265m/20,298f. Two higher camps were established after Base Camp (3919m). But we failed due to worst condition of ice fall and we could not find any proper route.
