There will also be a 10-day adventure/mountaineering training programme for visually challenged children at the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute, Darjeeling, and a 15-day adventure/mountaineering training programme for the physically, mentally challenged and the visually impaired at the Directorate of Mountaineering and Allied Sport, Manali. The camps will be organised in April/June. The training is free of charge. Boarding and lodging of the participants and their guides will be taken care of by the Foundation.The last date to submit applications is today. Call 011-24111211, 011-24117935 for more details.
