About The Eco-Drive
An ambitious social responsibility initiative by Sardar Patel University, Mandi (H.P.) to protect the ecosystem of the holy Rohanda-Kamrunag trail.
Our Sacred Mission
The Kamrunag Temple and its holy alpine lake, resting at an altitude of 3,334 meters, are deep spiritual anchors in Mandi District, Himachal Pradesh. Over recent years, trekking tourism has surged, leaving a heavy trail of single-use plastic, litter, and ecological disturbance.
As a socially responsible educational institution, Sardar Patel University, Mandi (H.P.) has launched this digital QR-enabled awareness portal. Our goal is to blend scientific conservation education with spiritual respect, ensuring every trekker acts as a guardian of this majestic Himalayan sanctuary.
Core Vision
“To transform tourism along the Rohanda-Kamrunag trail into a sustainable model where technology, volunteerism, and environmental consciousness protect regional biodiversity for generations to come.”
