Mountains Lakes View Dates
do something different, it’s worth it
See and experience what it takes to traverse and live in the high altitude of the Garhwal Himalayas to arrive a pristine clear Lake at the height of 11,500 feet. If you’re lucky, there might even be snow! End the days setting up campsites above the clouds.!
lead and take ownership
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.
