To commemorate the 15th Reunion of the Corps of Signals and the Golden Jubilee of the raising of 2 Army HQ Signal Regiment, Army HQ Signals is planning to embark on a challenging trekking expedition to Pindari which was flagged off by the SO-in-C, Lt Gen Nitin Kohli from the historic India Gate lawns on 21 Sep 2015. The trekking expedition is aimed at inculcating the spirit of adventure amongst all ranks.

The team led by an officer and thirteen other ranks will aim to reach Pindari Zero Point located ahead of Loharkhet in Uttrakhand. The team will traverse approximately 88km over the inhospitable challenging trail to Pindari Zero point. The expedition would be over 14 days with an average trek of 10-12 km daily. The trek, besides showcasing the versatility of the Corps of Signals, will also aim to promote awareness about Swachh Bharat during the campaign.
