The boot camp runs for 7 days from Sunday till Saturday. We start morning 8am and wrap up by 5pm after which students can relax or go sightseeing around Manali. Each day is made up of a comfortable mix of class room presentations (yellow) and short field assignments (green) in the surrounding mountains trails. In the class room itself there’s a lot of hands on the phone to make the camp interactive and engaging. Field assignments are done in pairs to ensure everyone learns independently as well as ensure safety. Batches are kept small to allow frequent interaction and individual attention.
Four nights we stay at the basecamp. Two nights we head out on overnight hikes. The entire group will camp together. Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner are served in between classes at the basecamp or packed up while overnight hiking. Some students come a few days early to acclimatize, some stay a few days post the camp to go on independent hikes and apply the knowledge acquired.
