There is something iconic about the photograph of the traffic jam on path to Mt. Everest; a kind of shock value. Prompts me to recall my numerous treks with a couple of college friends in 1980s – to Roop Kund, Sunderdhunga glacier, Milam glacier etc in Utarakhand – on which we hardly came across trekkers except an odd one or two small groups (mostly Bengalis). On a recent hike to Triund (above McLeodganj) – which was a first climb in the wild for my wife – it was pure solitude for most of the stretch.
The photograph takes away something from the solitary splendour of this majestic mountain. A special prayer for all those who have perished this season.
