The next time you have some time off, how about a course at NIM in Uttarakashi?
Nehru Institute of Mountaineering (NIM) is rated as one of the best mountaineering institutes in India and also considered as the most prestigious mountaineering institute in Asia. NIM was established at Uttarkashi on 14th Nov 1965 to honor the desire of Jawahar Lal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, who was an ardent mountain lover, or so he claimed to be!

Peaks that climbing students get to climb around include Draupadi ka Danda, Bhagirathi, banderpunch, Swargarohini, Gangotri, Rudragaira, Jogin, Thelaysagar, Bhrigupanth and many more...
