Training
The Himalayan Club has been involved in planning, coordinating and executing several training programmes related to skill development, mountain medicine, Leave No Trace policies and awareness campaigns.
In June 2019, The Himalayan Club organized a pilot programme on Mountain Leadership and Rescue Training under UIAA (International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation) in Ladakh, wherein trainers from UIAA and IFMGA (International Federation of Mountain Guides Association) imparted Leadership and Rescue Training in Leh to further enhance the skills of Indian guides and to make them compatible with the standards of International Guides. The UIAA Mountain Leader programme has brought dynamic changes in adventure tourism in Ladakh.
In Feb 2020, The Club with the support of Allied Safety Equipments Pvt. Ltd. launched a Trek Leader & Safety Management Training Programme for Youth Engaged in Adventure Tourism in Maharashtra under the aegis of UIAA. The programme was a structured intervention, aimed at bringing professionalism into the sport, address the lacunae in the existing practices in the adventure sports sector and initiate suitable measures to develop a safe ecosystem adhering to global safety standards.
