About this stamp

On the Stamp

A snow-covered Himalayan peak, with the words “Indian Mountaineering” in Hindi and English, on a 20 paise stamp.

Indian Mountaineering

India Post issued this stamp on 15 May 1973 for the 15th anniversary of the Indian Mountaineering Foundation, whose beginnings go back to 1958, which sponsors and guides Indian expeditions to the Himalayas. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamp itself.
