43 years of mountaineering have shaped Giripremi into a premier organization dedicated to the spirit of adventure and the enduring motto, “Mountaineering for Happiness”. With a remarkable legacy that includes successful summits on eight of the world’s 8000-meter peaks and over 150 rock climbing expeditions in the Sahyadris, we stand as pioneers of high-altitude exploration in India. Beyond the heights, our commitment to the community shines through the Guardian Giripremi Institute of Mountaineering (GGIM) and our 24/7 rescue initiatives, which serve as a vital asset during national calamities.
