Four adventure enthusiasts from Kerala’s hill station Munnar successfully scaled the remote Ramjak mountain in Himachal Pradesh.
Four adventure seekers from the Kerala hill town of Munnar reached the summit of Ramjak, a little-known mountain in Himachal Pradesh, according to a report by The Hindu. The group undertook the climb as part of a self-organized trek, navigating rugged terrain and high-altitude conditions typical of the western Himalayas. Their successful ascent highlights growing interest in off-beat Himalayan routes among trekkers from southern India. Officials of the Himachal tourism department welcomed the feat, noting that such inter-state expeditions help promote lesser-visited destinations while encouraging responsible adventure tourism. No injuries were reported, and the team returned safely to Munnar after completing the trek.
The Ramjak peak, situated in a remote part of the state, is rarely featured in mainstream trekking itineraries, making the accomplishment noteworthy for both the climbers and local authorities seeking to diversify tourism offerings.
The trek underscores the increasing mobility of Indian adventure enthusiasts, who are exploring diverse geographies beyond their home regions, thereby fostering cultural exchange and expanding the domestic adventure-tourism market.
