Guys could also take a look at the latest and the greatest Jawahar Institute of Mountaineering and Winter Sports, (JIMWS) Nunwan, Pahalgam in the state of J&K. The courese are run by Indian Mountaineering Foundation and the Indian Army. State of the art! I had undertaken a Basic course a few years back, and I hear that the institute is back in full action now with improving situation in the state. The cost is again, minimalistic! The schedule for 2006-2007 and contact details can be found here: http://www.pahalgam.com/jimws.html |
