Getting Paid for Lahesh Cave Clean Up

Lahesh Cave Clean Up 2 and Payment

During our first Indrahar Pass trek we noticed badly trashed vicinity and Lahesh Cave so decided to come back and clean up some of bit. Though our First attempt to Clean Up Lahesh Cave was success but still there were plenty of bottles stuffed around and we had planned our 2nd Lahesh Cave Clean Up drive by the end of 2013 but were barred due to sudden change in weather followed by snowstorm and hence 2nd drive was postponed till 2014.

July 15th 2014, we conceptualized our second high mountain clean up drive. On July 20th left for Lahesh Cave after our sponsored (sponsored by Manu in terms of Lunch and Mat) day halt in Triund Hill we continued for SnowLine Café and Lahesh Cave.

Save Sharks

From Hollywood to Tv Series till now we Humans have always depicted Whales, Sharks as devils always on hunt of surfers and wrecking sailing ships and all these have created a mentality that Sharks are dangerous even we have not spared innocent WildLife.

But hardly ever we look or take note of What is the reason behind Shark attacks or Elephants destroying our fields or why a shy Leopard turns a man-eater and also we blame Mother Nature for floods, landslide and other. We forget to mention that it is us and our desire plus greed for money and unbalanced development that we are indirectly forcing and force WildLife, SeaLife and Nature go against humans species.

Till now whatever Natural calamity has occurred we have been partial to Nature and readily point fingers toward Nature even our mainstream Media also blames Nature for increasing Heat on Summers and Harsh Colder Winters.  

This post is not intended to gain links or clicks...since our collective blog is concerned with preservation and cleanliness of Nature so, we have decided to include guest posts on WildLife and SeaLife.

There will be the guest blog posts with link to main site and our first guest post for SeaLife is on Dance with Tiger Sharks
