Nehru Institute of Mountaineering

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Nehru Institute of Mountaineering (NIM) is rated as one of the best 
mountaineering institutes in India and also considered as the most 
prestigious mountaineering institute in Asia.

            The proposal to have a mountaineering Institute at 
Uttarkashi was mooted by the Ministry of Defence, Government of India 
and the Government of Uttar Pradesh in 1964. Uttarkashi was specially 
selected as the home of NIM, primarily because of its close proximity to
 the Gangotri region in western garhwal, which undoubtedly has the best 
climbing and training potential in India and perhaps in the world. 
Perched beautifully on the turtle back hill across the east bank of 
river Bhagirathi, the Institute overlooks the sacred town of Uttarkashi 
and the confluence of Indravati with the Bhagirathi. In a historic 
development in November 2001, with the newly formed State of Uttaranchal
 coming into existence, the Chief Minister of Uttaranchal became the 
Vice President of the Institute.

Courses Offered :- 

Basic Mountaineering Course
Advance Mountaineering Course 
Search & Rescue Course
Mountain Guide Course 
Adventure Course
Special Course :-  
Special courses are run by the 
Institute for different organizations on request. These include courses 
for deaf and dumb, and handicapped persons. 
           In addition, training is 
conducted on request for Military, Para Military, Police, Schools and 
other organizations. Rock climbing courses are conducted by NIM 
Instructors at various clubs and other organizations, all over India 
during the lean period. Pre expedition training is especially conducted for IMF sponsored National and other expeditions on request.
