 Vision Rendezvous with nature Mission Scaling heights and cascading down to discover one's inner strength by befriending the environment Experience Ashvin has been in the adventure zone for the past fifteen years. It all started when he first attended a camp at Pirotan Island at the age of nine. He has come a long way since then, from attending marine camps, nature & adventure camps to organizing his own adventure tours and camps. He co-coordinated and organized his first camp in 1989. This little step was the stepping-stone for his career as an adventure enthusiast. Since then he has coordinated more than 350 camps & adventure trips in India as well as abroad. Luv Kumar Khachar has been Ashwin's inspiration throughout. He is someone Aswin holds in great esteem and proudly calls his mentor. Ashwin also owes a lot to Mr. Kiran Patel and The Galaxy Education System (“TGES”) for trusting him and believing in his ability to lead the school through numerous treks and hikes. All Ashwin needed was a platform and that is precisely what TGES gave him. He has a keen interest in trekking, skiing, white-water rafting, water skiing, surfing, paragliding, mountaineering and going on expeditions. His experience set out above helps him immensely in his profession as an organizer of adventure trips. He has lead expeditions to Kailash Mansarovar in China; he has taken educational and adventure trips to Egypt, Europe and the Middle East. He describes Kailash Mansarovar trek as the most challenging and interesting. He has been taking groups to various parts of the Eastern & Western Himalayas for the past 12 years and claims that there is still something new to discover each time he goes there. Groups of adventure enthusiasts are taken to the Bhrigu peak every year. Ashwin trains them in basic mountaineering skills prior to scaling the Bhrigu. This year (2004) Aswin completed his 81 st successful climb to the Bhrigu. Aswin respects the mountains and feels that humans are very miniscule in front of Mother Nature. His belief is strengthened by the fact that he was once stuck at Khandpari Tibba along with seven other people for an entire night. The courage and their belief in the mountains helped them get through that ordeal. He describes it as a near death experience where it was freezing cold and the eight men huddled together to stay warm, waiting for morning to arrive. This experience has left a deep impact on him. He has started respecting the mountains more and keeps on going back to them.
