To climb a mountain, one needs to become a mountain; physically, mentally and emotionally
There is a mountain within us that needs to be climbed, before climbing the actual peak. One has to overcome the uncertainty, fear and anxiety to discover the summit of self-belief.
Mount Me is powered by Mount Me Adventures – A partnership venture led by a passionate team of certified mountaineers and mountain lovers with over a decade of climbing experience in the Himalayas. At Mount Me, we are committed towards nurturing hiking, trekking and mountaineering culture in India. We love spreading the word for these outdoor activities through treks, expeditions, experiential content, insights, events and updates.
We organize safe and experiential treks and expeditions in India, inspiring beginners, youngsters and senior explorers to connect with nature. We conceptualise and execute curated treks in the Himalayas and also promote off beat hikes and treks in the Sahyadri Mountain ranges.
Our treks are always assigned with a purpose; be it cleaning the trail, supporting local communities, or promoting minimalistic way of living.
