From Poland to Himalaya

Nine countries, 11 borders, 10,000 km - this is the impressive balance of the recent expedition 'Jelczem w Himalaje' ('From Jelcz to the Himalayas'), organized by the Polish Pietrowicz Foundation Śladami Uczestników. From Poland to Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan and India, the Polish adventurers Maciej Pietrowicz, Ryszard Włoszczowski and Arkadiusz Peryga traveled in a Jelcz truck all the way to the Himalayas - on the footsteps of the first Polish expedition to the Himalayas 50 years ago. To make the new expedition as authentic as possible, the team wanted to use exactly the same Jelcz model as the original expedition team in the 1970s. Walking the talk, the team restored the truck and help him to regain its old glory.
