Climbing
in India is one of the most exhilarating experience of conquering
those virgin mountains of sub-continent. In past few years
it has also become the fastest-growing adventure sport of
India. Explore the paths and acquire the wide-open spaces
of the Himalayan peaks. Sojourn to the splendid flora and
fauna in its natural environment. The trained guides organized
trips to the mountain peaks, as high as 5000 m to have a vision
of mountain wildlife or to luxuriate in the lush green mountain
valleys.
If you are taking up climbing adventure for the first time,
it might sound like a hazardous and rash activity. The sport
has undergone some progression in recent times, however, making
it safer and easier to learn than ever before. Climbing is
a sport of self-discipline, vigor, stamina and finesse that
can provide a great deal of personal gratification and, at
times, stimulation.
There are several distinct types of climbing- including ice
climbing, rock climbing, mountaineering and mountain climbing.
Over the period of time the climbing has become fairly an
advanced sport that has reached its height through its different
level courses with a qualified instructors.
Climbing adventure in India, as in the other parts the world
initiated as training for mountaineering. As a sport it took
off only about 18 years ago and the climbing standards have
reached to its greater heights in India.

has ample opportunities of big wall climbings, ranging from
200m to 1,000m in alpine region. The town of Badami and its
environs north of Hampi is another beautiful area with potential
