Our summer camps give students a real outdoor experience: living in tents, learning skills, walking in the mountains and working as a team. Shuru Camp is a gentle base camp near Manali for a first camp; Hamta Pass Camp is a four-day crossing for older students ready for a real mountain journey. Both are run with instructors, the right gear and a safety plan.
How it works
Pitching tents, sharing loads, crossing streams — nobody gets to the pass alone.
Every student leads a stretch of trail and a camp task.
A 4,270 m pass is a real achievement — and it shows when they come home.
Leave-no-trace camping, the mountain's plants and animals, and why they matter.

Yes. The teachers have our numbers and the camp's, and we share the day's plan with them every morning.
It depends on the number of students, the days and transport. Send an enquiry and we come back with a plan and a price.
