i agree the agency “Himalayan View” was at fault but i blame squarely the so called experienced Karnataka Mountaineering Association ( KMA) who USED to organise mountaineering Expedition successfully in the past,but not the present set up!! when there are experienced and proven agencies in Organising difficult treks in that area available (Uttarkashi)and known to these office bearers of KMA,the reason,going for an inexperienced agency like above quoted one can only be one- just greed for money.!! No one knows how much money eas collected from the participants ? The so called experienced organisers ( read the present Office bearers of KMA) has no real experience to lead a not so difficult trek of Sahasra Tal as i am sure they would have taken the help of more guides but money making here is the prime agenda. Well its an organised game practiced by a few office bearers of KMA , for long time, but this time at Sahsara Tal, they did not realise that you cant play with nature every time. So the Blame is entirely on KMA who by their greed has made irreparable damage to Nine Families by nine deaths..!!! Only a judicial enquiry by Karnataka Govt will reveal all !! No amount of regulation can stop, when there is corruption at high level.. When so many old people present in that group any proper medical test was conducted ? Experience is one thing, and current physical fitness is another thing ? Pre monsoon conditions in mountains of Uttarakhand has started when they stared their trek and going for a difficult trek with a large group of 22 is sure shot recipe for disaster, which exactly happened !!
