The Alpine Field Bootcamp at Manali is a one week experiential learning in the mountains on independent hiking – understanding Himalayan geography, high altitude terrains, understanding topography & contours, planning a Himalayan traverse as per the seasons and weather, fast-hiking and minimalist lightweight gears, learning various techniques to navigate the wilderness, Himalayan communities, night stay & shelter, managing wildlife encounters, food planning & hydration, topographic maps, blogs & books, Himalayan regions & hiking routes, digitally mapping new trails, etc. Upon completion you become part of a growing community of hundreds of independent hikers which plan hikes, team up and share experiences.
Participants will check into a beautiful basecamp in the mountains where above topics will be taught through theory, practical assignments on mobile and hands-on field assignments in the surrounding forests and meadows. They will plan and execute multiple day and overnight hikes to master the art of independent hiking. Upon completion of the bootcamp you will become part of an Independent Hiking Community where alpine style hikes are planned and learning’s shared. You will also qualify for life guide free personal guidance by myself on your future hikes.
