The Backpackers Club

The Backpackers Club This is an adventure club exclusively for students of Dr. AIT.....especially for the ones addicted to adrenalin ;-) It shows no mercy to the unfit. Kishor R.

The club has been established to induce and nurture a spirit of adventure and sportsmanship among fellow college mates. Mountaineering is a lot more than what most people think of it and it is definitely more than a mere adventure sport. According to me, it profoundly helps in shaping one's character. In pursuit of climbing to the peak, one goes through a myriad of challenges. A mountain is initia

lly critical of a climber. One needs to be fit to be able to climb and fitness requires discipline. Then comes perseverance, fitness of the mind! As the trail twists and turns treacherously, towards a peak shrouded by unyielding clouds, fatigue sets in. Only the determined will pull through, against scorching heat and freezing winds. After a point, the body goes numb and oblivious to pain. Only the mind is awake and one can literally hear it speak. It’s a mysterious phase of heightened awareness. It is here, when the mind has complete control of the body and can push it beyond unthinkable limits, or bring it to a crippling halt. Giving courage to worn out fellow climbers, even in face of such adversity, fosters comradeship. And during all this, one cannot afford to be unscrupulous with the essentials, food and water, as they are limited and one thus learns to be resourceful. A sound, resolute mind is thus tested and tempered by the towering mountains, only to be rewarded with enchanting views and crisp, invigorating mountain air. It is a humbling experience in all certainty. You will come down a changed person, a person of character and experience. Founded - 2010

'There will be no lack of adventure of the mind and body for those who are prepared to venture into uncharted seas and climb unknown peaks.' - Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru

Hello AITians,

Apologies for the prolonged inactivity.
As the founder member, allow me to say yet again, that it was an exhilarating experience, organizing and trekking for Backpackers Club. It feels great to know we managed to keep the spirit of adventure alive all these years. My batch-mates and I hope it continues to stay alive for many more years to come. As we have finished college, our part in it is now over and time has come to hand over the reins to new blood. We would be very happy if anyone from the current batch feels confident and comes forth to take up the estimable responsibility of heading the Club. It could even be a group. Please drop a mail at [email protected].

Cheers.

Kishor R.

The trek proved to be a test of sheer grit and determination, which each and every one of us displayed over the last two days. After a point it was more about mind over body and surely we all were surprised seeing ourselves exceed our expectations. Some problems tried hard to deter us but we kept going. It was humbling to see everyone inspiring each other to keep going even in the face of storms….real storms!!!!! All this has helped us realize a strength within, previously unknown. It is no less than a matter of pride. And thank you all for being so forthcoming and energetic. You inspire us to bring you closer to nature and to yourself. Backpackers Club is glad to have given you this memorable experience and will continue to do so!!!!....see you soon
