Mountaineering, Kullu
HistoryEdit
Every year alpine or non alpine mountaineering expeditions are attempted on peaks which are far and beyond, bringing back great experiences of climbs and setting higher standards in the sport. With the recent openings of restricted areas numerous opportunities for mountaineers from around the world have sprouted to scale virgin peaks and inscribe their name in the books of mountaineering history for their ascents. We assist from identifying peaks, choosing routes, arranging mountain guides / sherpas / porters / mules / horses, food at base and forward camps, local liaison for permission and permits, hotel accommodation and transport services.
