It was a trek to Patalwan Lake, Gurez Valley, Kashmir that offered her exposure to nature and also nurtured her desire for adventure. “Though it was a tough and tiring journey, every moment was pumping my adrenaline.

The youngster recalls her journey as challenging and also one that added a lot of memorable moments into her kitty. “I was having a wonderful experience when I reached Nangarshang Peak. The whole experience was so fascinating that no words can describe it,” she says.

Sameera now hopes to keep going on a lot more treks, meeting more new people, enjoying even the toughest of climbs, and collecting many beautiful and adventurous memories.
