Mountain & Meditation (Pics.)------8---Indo-Russian Joint--Peak Expedition to Mt. Communism & Mt. Albruz Aug.-Sep.1989

These Pics, belong to  Indo-Soviet Joint Expedition which was held in Aug--Sep. 1989. This prog. was organised by Climbers & Explorers Club New Delhi, India and Odessa Mountaineering Club, Odessa, Ukrain, USSR.

This Expedition was flagged off by Sri Brahm Dutt Tiwari then Petroleum, Minister of India. It was a very memorable and extremely beautiful experience and exposure to the Highest Mountain Peak Mt. Communisma, Pamir,  and the Highest Mountain Peaks Mt. Albruze, of Caucasus Range.

Though we could not climbed Mt. Communism due to very bad weather but we four of us from India could climb two peaks of Mt. Albruze in bad weather.
