The Purpose of
“Trek the Himalaya” Programmes
    To kindle in the hearts of the youth a deep sense of love for the Himalaya and impart to them a basic knowledge of these great divine mountains.
    To offer young boys and girls, students and non students, well organized and properly supervised new trekking routes in the Himalaya, thereby providing a healthy outdoor recreational activity during their vacations.
    To initiate the participants into the art and technique of camping, hiking, high altitude trekking and rock climbing.
    To promote national integration by bringing them together from various parts of the country.
    To enable city dwellers, usually tired of the noise and air pollution, to come far away from the maddening crowd and experience a few days of ultimate bliss in close communion with nature.
In a nutshell, it can be said that these trekking programmes & jungle safaris, fulfills the interest of every type of nature lover, whether beginner or experienced, whether looking for pleasure, recreation or adventure. Trekking and adventure activities, if done & understood with earnest, creates the spirit of adventure among the participants, provides an opportunity to come in contact with nature, to see the country side, to channelize their energy in the right direction, to enrich their experiences, and build their character by making them live with fellow nature lovers away from the comforts.

‘Youth’- a wonderful phase of life, is filled with exuberant enthusiasm, abundant energy and vitality.
Youth is a power that shapes the future of the nation and ‘Yuvashakti’ and ‘Himalayan Adventurers’
attempt to channelize this power in a purposeful manner.

‘Yuvashakti’ and ‘Himalayan Adventurers’ are two leading  voluntary organizations in
trekking and mountaineering in Pune. Twenty four years ago, a few young adventure lovers
got together and started these two organizations with the aim of introducing young people
to adventure activities such as trekking, mountaineering, skiing etc. under the guidance and support of
founder president  Shri. Mohan Dharia, a well known nature lover & founder of ‘Vanarai’.

Since 1983 we have been regularly organizing various high altitude trekking programmes in the Himalaya.
We also organize bicycle and motorcycle expeditions in India, visits to wildlife sanctuaries, etc. throughout the year.
In addition, we carry out activities like tree plantation and blood donation drives.

The main aim of ‘Yuvashakti’ and ‘Himalayan Adventurers’ is to teach the youth to relate to nature.
The purpose is to go away from polluted areas and breathe fresh air.
The second purpose is to develop leadership qualities and provide opportunities to get acquainted
with a variety of regions and people.

Since the activities are interesting, there is tremendous response from all over, including people from abroad.
The number of participants has been increasing every year.
With such a heartening response we mean to surge ahead and scale higher peaks of achievement.

The mighty Himalaya has always lured the adventure lovers.
However it is not easy to organize a trek on ones own, as it requires a lot of    planning and resources.
Therefore, ‘Yuvashakti’ and ‘Himalayan Adventurers have taken up this task.

We arrange treks to various parts of the Himalaya and that too at a very reasonable cost.
This is possible only because the activities of these organizations are conducted on a voluntary basis,
without any commercial purpose.

The organizations will conduct various Himalayan treks & Jungle safaries in the year 2009.
The details of these programmes have been given in this brochure.
Kindly go through this brochure in detail, before registering your name for any of  our camps.

Combined with a little physical effort, we have opened unlimited opportunities to enjoy these high mountains,
dense forests, lush meadows and green valleys, to get close to nature and to know different people,
customs & cultures. Participating in ‘The Himalayan Trekking Programmes & Jungle Safaris 2008’
is an experience of a life time.

Before we go further with the information about the activities of the organizations,
please note that we are not travel companies with a commercial purpose.
We are voluntary organizations dedicated to  adventure sports.
The idea behind promotion of adventure sports is to build stamina,
develop physical fitness and test ones endurance.

We promote through such activities, sportsman spirit and co-operation.
We build a team, in which the group leader instructs the team
and the team members have to follow his instructions carefully.

A participant offers to join these activities at his or her own risk.
