ABOUT HAR SHIKHAR TIRANGA
NIMAS (National Institute of Mountaineering and Adventure Sports) has initiated the gradual progression of the idea Har Ghar Tiranga to Har Shikhar Tiranga. The mission is to invoke the feeling of patriotism in the hearts of the people and promote awareness about the Indian National Flag and highlight the Adventure Tourism potential of our own country by encouraging all to take pride in their state’s highest peaks.
‘Har Shikhar Tiranga’ is a campaign under the aegis of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav to take the Tiranga to all the states of the country and to hoist it on the zenith of the summits to mark the 75th year of India’s independence and to commemorate the G20 presidentship of our country.
NIMAS has always been a front runner to take forward the goal of spreading the joyous celebrations of “Azaadi ka Amrit Mahotsav “to the farthest reaches of the country. Earlier this year, in a record-breaking event, the Team of National Adventure Institute (NIMAS) completed the first 7 North Eastern states Expedition and created two national records by climbing the top peaks of all seven North Eastern states.
