Test your endurance and will power on this high altitude trek up the Garhwal Himalayas. Kick off this adventure with some exciting rafting on the Tons. Then trek from rocky terrains, through pine and oak forests and lush green meadows on your way to the summit. If you’re lucky, there might even be snow! End the days setting up campsites above the clouds.
Start with an intensive session to plan out everything needed for the coming days. From menus, ration and utensils to contingency food plans. Divide and share the load of supplies (‘khachchars’ help with the big stuff). As the days progress, instructors take a step back as the group takes initiative. Learn to work as a team—look out for each other, learn to be considerate and share the responsibilities of cooking, cleaning, firewood collection and resource management.

This program might be more demanding than the usual physical activities you’re used to. We recommend a little jogging, stretching and exercise a few weeks before the departure to gain the flexibility and agility needed to truly enjoy the experience. Do this wearing the shoes you want to carry for the program—it’ll help break into them.
