I imagine the pharaonic work that must be collecting all the summits of India to add it as a new association!
Hopefully soon India will join SOTA and thus add more action from these latitudes!

Yes your are right, it’s a herculean task.
we have a vast demographic area.( India ) The snow clad peaks are in the North of India which is the Himalayan region where peaks are averaging 5000m and go upto 8000m .
Down South we have peaks from 1000m ranging to 3000m .
Setting up a organisation to the requirements of SOTA is a huge task on hand .
