NS ‘ELITE’ EMBRACES NEW EXPERIENCE

It is important to stimulate and encourage the latent creative potential of each individual and generate awareness and enhance the interest base of the children helping them in undertaking independent exploration of the wilderness anywhere in the world using the resources available in the wilderness. You will learn to have a healthy respect for the mountains but also enjoy it for the vast treasures and secrets it can reveal only to you. You will always be able to find a path where none exist not only in the wilderness but also in life.

Understanding of the Regional Environment
Get a firsthand experience of the beauty of the wilderness. See the habitat of the plants and animals that are surviving in the extreme conditions of the Himalayan Ranges. The majestic locations are breathtaking and the experience is unparalleled. The adaptability of flora and fauna to any environment shows you how to be tenacious in life and how to deal with any situation however problematic it may seem.

Survival Using Minimal Natural Resource
Humans are not the centre of the universe and the nature has a power all its own. The sooner we realize this, the better the world will become. When you visit locations where the flora and fauna are untouched by humans you'll realize how privileged we are to be able to experience nature as it should be. The need to preserve it will come from within. Telling someone what not to do has a short term effect. Showing them what we lose if the environment is not protected has more impact and the results are more concrete.

You will come out of your Negi Sports Children Wilderness Education Course with greater environmental awareness and a strong ethical foundation.
