GIRIVIHAR has since its conception in 1954, been devoted to outdoor adventure activities like hiking, rock climbing and mountaineering. Activities that cultivate love for the environment and respect for nature.

 

Rock Climbing is an art and is fast developing as an independent outdoor as well as indoor sport. Like any other sport activity Rock Climbing also calls for perfect physical and mental fitness and mastery over the basic techniques and skills. Many are attracted towards the sheer adventure involved in Rock Climbing and many towards the calculated risk involved in it. Some people have a natural instinct for Rock Climbing and some just love to observe it. But certainly if one loves climbing, learning the correct techniques is a must.  Though it will not be correct to claim that Rock Climbing can be taught through classroom style sessions, getting perfect, on-site training from experts in the field and real hard practice can bring the hidden genuine tough rock climber in you.

It is with all this in mind that GIRIVIHAR has been conducting the Annual Rock Climbing Training Camp for youth (age above 14) for more than 30 years now.

So if you have started experiencing the urge to climb, we are sure you will find this camp an attractive proposition. Of course, a question most likely to occur to you will be, why you must choose GIRIVIHAR's camp, when you can master the sport just by practicing with your senior fellow climber friends and other options that are available.
