December 11, designated as International Mountain Day is observed every year to create awareness about the importance of mountains to life, to highlight the opportunities and constraints in mountain development, and to build alliances that will bring positive change to mountain peoples and environments around the world.
Mt. Everest's height recently being announced, Nepal has propagated a global message of authenticity. The Covid pandemic at the prior definitely had us constrained but we are at renaissance now, tourism is reviving and on this auspicious day, the academy feels proud to illustrate the fact that, Nepali youths were the ones who breathed life into internal tourism. We have noticed several Nepali expeditions on many Himalayan peaks; youths have overcome the fear of the situation and progressed onto thrilling adventures.
The academy, with courses, BMS and MATS has always been working for the sustainable development of the mountains and its peripheral disciplines. We peculiarly are enticed by the fact that mountaineering and wilderness adventure is being largely comprehended by Nepali youths.
We hereby share the joy of International Mountain Day with all mountaineering and Adventure enthusiasts out there!
