Earlier this month, I received an e-mail with the sad news of an accident involving Mangesh Deshpande. Mangesh Deshpande on an expedition to Mt Tinchen Khang in Sikkim lost his life in an accident after having successfully scaled the 6010 m high peak.
My mind races to many a enjoyable hike in Maharashtra along with Mangesh Deshpande. Naneghat/Jivdhan, Tikona, Chandan/Vandan, Makarandgad, Raireshwar are hikes we had been together in the mid-to late 90's. My recent interaction with him was in late 2005.
Mangesh was an experienced hiker, mountaineer and rock climber who had a passion for these activities.
