Explanation:
Statement of purpose:-
Mount Everest is one of the highest peaks in the world.
Every year people from all around the world visit there to climb Mount
Everest.Therefore it is very important to get proper training for hill walking and climbing.I am a resident of Sundernagar,District Mandi,Himachal Pradesh.Therefore hill walking and climbing are like a cakewalk for me.
Since childhood I have been carrying this dream.But there not many resources in our area.From my friends I came to know about The Himalayan Mountaineering Institute Dargeling.
If I am able to get admission and training there then there is no looking back.If I get successful then I would open a Mountain climbing Institute at Sundernagar because many students dream of climbing Everest but because of lack of knowledge and support they cannot move forward.They need help and support which I wish to provide.My future success may open doors for others.
