Himalayan Mountaineering Institute

Darjeeling-based mountaineering school subsidized by the Indian military.

Has anyone participated? Looking for a contact to chat with on the phone for a few minutes to better understand the scope and progression of coursework.

Thanks!

Bump for any beta on this sounds-too-good-to-be-true school?

I was here in 2013 although I didnt attend classes so cant help in that regards, but the museum on site was quite interesting and it looks like they are quite active.

I would also be interested in finding out more about this.

Here's another option:

They seem like good courses and you can find some reviews around the web but not many from western students. I'm not sure how the admission process goes for westerners and I didn't receive a response to an inquiry email I sent to Nehru.
