I was in Nairobi and checking my e-mail, when suddenly the message from the Director of the Royal Geographical Society arrived.  It stated that I had been awarded ‘Patrons Medal’ of the Royal Geographical Society by Her Majesty the Queen.  My immediate thought was certainly of a big  “thank you” to Him! . It was particularly a happy occasion as RGS had recognized my small climbs, major explorations and work in an area, which not many people would generally know or appreciate. I have climbed no Everest, but exploration of this beautiful unknown ranges of Himalaya of India have given me tremendous pleasures.
