Basic Mountaineering Course (BMC)

• The Basic Mountaineering Course is the foundation course in which men and women are initiated into mountaineering.

• The objectives of BMC are:

• To teach the basic techniques of movement on rock, snow and ice

• Theoretical and practical aspects of mountaineering and its allied subjects, like Map reading, Navigation, Weather, Medicines, Mountain Hygiene etc

• To inculcate the right attitude amongst the trainees enabling them to view mountaineering as an art and not just a physical or adventure activity.

• To motivate people from all walks of life to higher endeavor.

• To make available to the trainees, suitable and relevant literature and reading material on mountaineering.

• To teach them how to make themselves comfortable and manage their health in the mountain environment.

• To introduce them to conservation of Himalayan environment.

• To toughen their bodies by increasing their resistance to cold, hunger and fatigue.

The trainees of BMC spend initial 8 - 9 days at NIM Campus and Tekhla Rock area where they undergo physical conditioning, extensive rock climbing training, map reading, mountain weather, mountain health etc. Trainees thereafter spend next 13 - 14 days in the mountains.

Approach to the Base Camp which is the training area for ice and snow craft involves 2-3 intermediate camps, which helps the trainees acclimatize. During their stay in the mountains, students are trained in the basic techniques of snow craft, ice craft at high altitudes. On completion of training, basic course students are taken for a height gain, up to altitudes ranging between 14,000 and 16,000 feet.

The way up to the top of the mountain is always longer than you think. Don’t fool yourself, the moment will arrive when what seemed so near is still very far."

Although I deeply love oceans, deserts, and other wild landscapes, it is only mountains that beckon me with that sort of painful magnetic pull to walk deeper and deeper into their beauty." - Victoria Erikson...
