4 years ago, I started traveling solo and then I took a homestay in Kalga, Himachal Pradesh. Found out from the local people that there is a course for mountaineering it's called BMC. That day I had dreamed of doing this course, from the roof of My homestay which has now happened. I had a lot of fun in the course, learned a lot, made many friends, and overall, it was a great experience and now I want to do an advanced mountaineering course AMC course from the same institute.
