Long March - Walking Along the River

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 with the villagers the causes, effects and possible solutions of this drying up.
