A team of climbers, scientists and physicians will climb an anonymous peak as part of a campaign in the remote Tso-Mori region of Leh district of Ladakh. Along with this, this peak, 6,105 meters high, will be named ‘Abhaya’ symbolically. Last year, a trainee female doctor was murdered after raping a trainee female medical at RG Kar Hospital in Kolkata. The team has decided to name this peak in memory of a female doctor. This campaign, titled the Project Seema (Sustainable Empowerment and Exploration in Mountains Area), aims to link mountain exploration to social, scientific and developmental initiatives. The group will also study glaciers, rivers, lakes, agriculture and climate change in the challenging ecosystem of the Himalayas.
