Mountaineering in India
Mountaineering may be just a sport for many but it is a
passion for those love scaling new heights. Mountaineering
requires a fitness level and skill that may not be necessary
for other adventure sports. But to be able to climb
mountains one needs to be fully fit and well equipped to
face all the challenges that mountains pose to a
mountaineer. In short mountaineering is an art that requires
skill, strength and stamina.
Mountaineering in India was introduced by the Europeans in
the 18th century. It was the time when new regions were
either explored or conquered. Mountaineering as an adventure
sport at this time was just taking shape. But later on,
mountaineering became a serious business and man's quest to
conquer new heights took him close to many high peaks around
the world. This quest for challenging the might of mountains
and the curiosity to explore what lies in the upper reaches
of snow capped peaks has virtually made man a conqueror.
Today there is hardly any mountain or peak left in the world
that has not been scaled.
India
offers an exciting mountaineering experience to an adventure
sport lover. The Himalayas that stretch from north-west of
India to far north-east offers a number of high rise peaks
that are considered ideal for mountaineering. Some of the
wonderful places for mountaineering in India are Leh Ladakh
in Jammu and Kashmir, Garhwal and Kumaon Himalayas in
Uttaranchal, Kullu valley and Lahul Spiti in Himachal
Pradesh, and Sikkim and some other parts of north-eastern
region.
Finally, when it comes to hitting the road to a mountain or
a peak, there are certain basic facts that need to be
followed. It is ideal to get the medical fitness done before
you embark on your journey. Know how to handle high-altitude
sickness and use of first aid box in case of emergency. Take
all precautions to avoid snow blindness, sun burning and
frostbite.
Maps
are quite handy when you are travelling. It is ideal to
understand the topography of the region and the places
around, when you plan to take a mountaineering expedition.
Gather as much information as possible about the region you
plan to tour. Overweight and people suffering from high/low
blood pressure should avoid mountaineering. High altitude
acclimatization is a must before you hit the mountain trail.
