OVERVIEW LONG MARCH (PADYATRA)
Himval River - Uttarakhand South West 2
June 2010 a dozen activists made a Padyatra (Long March) following the Himval river, which is running dry a part of the year nowadays. In 6 days they walked 90 kilometers and visited around 25 villages. They discussed the causes, effects and possible solutions of this drying up with the villagers.
The Padyatra activists had many discussions to organise the Long March. More photos
