Shimla, September 20

As many as 20 adventure lovers will trek 80 km in three days from Hatu, near Narkanda, to Mashnu, near Sarahan, during the Himalayan Expedition Silk Route — Chapter Sarahan, beginning September 21.

The second edition of Shimla’s only trek-and-run competition will explore the lost and forgotten trails of the ancient Indo-Tibet trade route between Narkanda and Sarahan. The event will be organised in two categories — competitive and adventure — said Rajat Jamwal, one of the organisers.

The competitive category is a timed competition for professional athletes, trail and marathon runners, while the adventure category invites enthusiasts, trekkers and hikers from all age groups to experience the tough, gruelling terrain and experience the silk route.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
