ACCESS WATER GANGA 2015
“We met with Liv and Ann back in February 2015, and I am delighted that they trusted MHE with this amazing program that has the potential to change all our lives.
Planning this expedition has been quite a challenge, because it involves trekking and rafting, camping and hotel stays, not to mention a 40-day motorboat adventure across the length of the Ganga.
Interestingly, MHE were the pioneers of this expedition, having first successfully attempted it in 1991, followed by the full length descents of the Yamuna, Narmada, and the Brahmaputra."
Akshay Kumar, CEO, Mercury Himalayan Explorations Ltd.
Eight women explorers across a seven continent journey, four river rafts, two inflatable rib boats, 2510 kilometres, 55 days – sounds like the perfect recipe for an MHE adventure!
Starting 17th October 2015, Mercury Himalayan Explorations launched the mother of all river expeditions – Ganga Source To Sea. Starting from Gaumukh the source of the holy Ganges, to where it meets the ocean at Ganga Sagar in the Bay of Bengal, renowned polar explorers and educators Liv Arnesen and Ann Bancroft led a team of six women from across six continents. Each of the women represented the key water challenges on their continent. This journey on the Ganga will be the centrepiece of a global awareness and outreach program that will spur us all to join hands in solving our global water crisis. In 2018, this team of intrepid explorers will travel the Mississippi River as part of their Access Water initiative.
Ann Bancroft and Liv Arnesen are dedicated to sharing stories of their journeys, as a way to ignite people to find their own dreams and passions. Both former school teachers, they are passionate about creating inspiring education programs. Their 1,717 mile historic Antarctic crossing during 2000 - 2001, pulling 250 pound sleds that took 97 days sparked the imagination of over 3 million schoolchildren around the globe as they followed along in the news and on their website.
This seven-continent expedition that kicked off with India, promises to be an inspirational journey igniting passion for conservation, adventure and learning.
