Few words about HMI... the institute where I went for Basic Mountaineering Course.

Himalayan Mountaineering Institute (HMI) in Darjeeling is one of government run mountaineering Institute in India. HMI owns a training zone Chowri Khang - this is an area restricted from outsiders in Western Sikkim. It is at around 14,500 feet altitude and it takes around 3 days of trek to reach there. Apart from this excellent training zone, HMI also provide world class equipments to all participants, provide training by highly accomplished instructors, and take care of all logistics like transport, food, hostel & so on. Most importantly, they charge extremely nominal for mountaineering course -- the charges are even affordable by students or non-working persons.

    1. You have to apply at least 6-9 months in advance before the course begin. They publish annual calendar of the courses at the beginning of the year on their website.
