About this trek

Students spend three days at our Sungri base camp, 2,800 m up in the Himalayan forests above Rohru. Our HMI-certified instructors teach them to read a map, build a shelter, light a safe fire and give basic first aid, then lead a short walk to the ridge for the sunset.

The camp is planned with Green Valley Public School. Girls and boys have separate tents and toilets, every meal is vegetarian, and parents get photo updates each evening.
