Technical Trek
This course is designed for individuals aspiring to learn the fundamental skills involved in climbing a mountain. It imparts skills necessary for safe, successful and enjoyable mountain adventures. Our training area would be Dhundi above Solang Valley. We trek up to Dhundi & make it our base camp for next four days of training. It is a great opportunity for first timers who are keen to discover the outdoors and experience the mighty Himalaya at high altitude. After the course we head to Friendship peak, a spectacular mountain standing at an elevation of 5289m, is a part of the Pir Panjal range, in Kullu District of Himachal Pradesh. Facing several other peaks like Hanuman Tibba, Shitidhar, Indra Asan and Deo Tibba, the summit of this peak offers spectacular panoramic views of the Pir Panjal and Dhauladhar ranges with the Beas Kund basin enhancing the beauty of the panorama. Climbing Friendship does not require any prior training & experience in mountaineering although the climb to the summit is quite steep and also requires use of crampons at certain points hence it surely requires good fitness.

On a Technical Trek the average day could involve more than 7 hrs of walking. These trips might cover difficult and glaciated terrain where use of ropes and technical mountaineering equipment like crampons, harness, carabiners, descenders etc could come into play. On these trips one is required to stay at high altitudes for lengthy periods of time and hence acclimatization is always a big concern. These treks can also throw a bit of surprise largely because of unpredictable nature of the terrain and the snow/ ice conditions in the high mountains and hence we always have a contingency day of two built into the plan.
These trips would last more than two weeks and go to wild, remote places completely cut off from civilization. Trekking peaks also come under the same category as the level of technicality required to climb a trekking peak is similar.
Our meticulously designed Introductory Mountaineering Course with time tested curriculum will help you develop your skills in the snow slopes of the Beas Kund area in Himachal Pradesh. There will be experienced mountaineers & certified instructors who will run the course. Watch this video to understand how the course works!
For maximum learning we recommend that you follow up this course by climbing Friendship Peak.
