Dehradun: Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Monday flagged off a 25-member team of experts on a trek to explore the historic pilgrimage routes to Chardham.
The trekking team will traverse a distance of more than 1,200 km in 50 days to find the old routes.
“I feel proud to have a motivated team of young men out to explore the historic pilgrimage routes to Chardham. It is a big step towards conserving our centuries-old heritage,” Dhami said.
It will also help in spreading environmental awareness besides promoting adventure sports, he said.
