Uttarakhand has a brief history of landslides and earthquakes in its history. The avalanche which took place recently is one of the most dangerous and gruesome acts of nature that could ever take place. 3 friends trekked up the Uttarakhand hills when an avalanche hit the friends resulting in only one friend returning safely. The man is now in a state of shock. The avalanche took place on the 1st of October at around 3:25 pm. For those three friends, it was a compulsory selfie moment when they climbed the summit or were about to climb the summit.
It was a terrific moment indeed. They were at a height of 16500 feet above sea level where the icy cold wind blew their faces at a shot. The icy cold winds landed in blowing all the 3 friends off. After a few hours, Kapil Panswar’s phone was found where his photo was found. Soon after his body was found frozen. A few minutes later he gains consciousness.
