Indian Himalaya 2010

Its Indian Himalaya we are talking about and in Adventure Mania its usually more action and less talk.

2009 is almost over and we are already planning for 2010. We need climbers for the following peaks for 2010:

Mt Shivling (6593m)- August, 2010
Mt Satopanth (7050m)- August-September, 2010
Mt kalanag (6387m)- May-June 2010

You can also join our Yoga trek In the Singalila Ridge : March-April, 2010

We are Adventure Mania, we love our mountains! We enjoy our work in the mountains with clients from all across the globe! Since 2002, we climbed and trekked across the Indian Himalaya with success and responsibility.

Adventure Mania team consists of climbers and Sherpas who have vast experience in the Indian Himalaya. Although we prefer climbing in less known valleys and glaciers and smaller peaks; we have been to major Indian Himalaya peaks like Shivling, Kamet, Changabang, Nandaghunti, Srikailash, Bhagirathi, Chowkhamba, Srikailash, Kalanag, Manirang, Swargarohini.....just to name a few.

It is true that apart from Kanchenjunga, we do not have any 8000m peaks! What we have is countless less known glaciers and mountain peaks ranging from 5000m to 7000m (and many of them are unclimbed..still!!!); valleys very few tourists have hiked; rivers seldom rafted down; culture so deep rooted and vibrantly colourful people. And these all are but the finest components that can make your trip to Indian Himalaya a truly memorable one!

This won't be entirely out of place to mention that all our trips are very personalized. We are totally invested in all our trips, right from planning it to executing it in the field. We are with you during your trip from the start to the finish, be it a trek or a mountaineering expedition. That is why sometimes it may take us a little while to reply your mail.

Whatever is happening or about to happen with Adventure Mania, we post on this blog:

We are also regular treks to remote Sikkim, Garwal and Kumaun, Himachal Pradesh regions.We also offer full service guided ascents on non technical summits.

Adventure Mania Charity:

we could not do something permanent for the porters at Bhujbas, Gangotri. The current National Park laws does not allow us stay up there. So now we have decided to build up an equipment pool with old used mountain clothing to be given to porters and their families. We also conduct free medical camps for porters in their villages. You can get invloved in one of these camps that we do.

Across The Sahara on a Bicycle

Across The Sahara on a Bicycle Between the things we get And the things we celebrate Flows a desert                            Lest we forget. #SaharaQuartet Background: My Africa My first exposure to the real Africa in 2005 after climbing Kilimanjaro. Scanned from slide. On top of Kilimanjaro in 2005 with a copy of Tathyakendra magazine. Scanned from slide I first visited Africa (Tanzania to be specific) in 2005. I hiked Kilimanjaro and came back home. It was just a tourist thing I did. But in spite of being wrapped up in an itinerary and a travel package of all things touristy; something very curious happened. I got even more inquisitive about Africa. I wanted to go back to Africa. Not as a tourist, but as a drifting wanderer, living an ever curious life. But for that I had to wait a good seven years. In 2011, while I was exploring the barriers of the Nanda Devi Sanctuary in ...

To the Mountains of the Moon: A Journey from Fiction to Facts

In 1937, Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay chronicled the adventures of a Bengali boy named Shankar. This novel was named 'Chander Pahar' (English: 'Mountains of the Moon', as the fiction refers to a range of mountains and not a single standing mountain). 'Chander Pahar' went on to become one of the most loved adventure stories in the Bengali literature. In his lifetime, Bibhutibhushan wrote 16 novels and over 200 short stories. Interestingly, even though most of Bibhutibhushan's works were largely set in rural Bengal; in this particular novel the writer chose the setting of 1909 Africa. Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay (1894-1950) In the story 'Chander Pahar', our protagonist Shankar gets a lucky break to go out from his little riverside village in Bengal to work for the Uganda Railway. Thus begun his sudden and long journey from the mundane to the extraordinary. A roller coaster ride through adventures involving the infamous man eating lions of Tsav...

Straight from a Story Book: Part I

It all started with a story book. In 1937, Bibhuti Bhushan Bandyopadhyay , one of the leading writers of modern Bengali literature penned ' Chander Pahar '. It is a story of a 22 year old young man from rural Bengal who sets out to Africa on an adventure of a lifetime in 1909. (If you have not read the book already you can read the plot summary here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chander_Pahar ) Like millions of Bengali readers I had read this adventure story when I was a kid and then as I grew up, as indicated by its publisher (juvenile literature); it became a thing of the past, a childhood fantasy for me.  It is only in recent years, after I climbed Kilimanjaro (2005), I picked up 'Chander Pahar' again. It is then, the book started opening new meanings and fresh directions for me. It is then I began to understand the meaning of the Swedish proverb- 'In a good book the best is between the lines' .  My repeated readings of 'Chander Pah...
