Vision
Hello and a warm welcome to all runners!
To our community of athletes and runners engaged in running on the flats of cities, and flat terrain marathons, running in the mountains provides multiple benefits. For new runners, after a few hours/days of acclimatization to the new terrain, it becomes akin to putting their best foot forward. The following link highlights only some of the advantages of mountain running.
The best example one can see is all the elite runners (winners) in marathons are those who train in the mountainous regions of the world, e.g. the rift valley regions of Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, and Uganda. We have always believed in getting the best for the citizens of our country.
We at Ultimate Survival Campsite have had the vision to introduce Indian city runners to this magnificence for over a decade now. Therefore after starting the campsite, we introduced cross country running 5 years ago. We conduct this across two events each year namely, the Kangra X-Country run in spring and the Shivalik Ultra run in late autumn. Both provide challenges across walking, running, and ultra-biking in our varied landscaped surroundings of dirt trails, field passes, riverbeds, and hill tracks. The consistent feedback we have received from participants across all age groups is that the terrain inspires the runners and keeps them coming back for more each year. Our participant’s zest only motivates us further to add more activities each year and we are now happy to say that we provide survival training, obstacles training, and white water rafting on the Beas River to name a few. Our ability to provide activities is only limited by the enthusiasm of our participants. We accept your challenge to do more for you as our core team members are experienced with the best adventure activities in India and abroad. We wish for all citizens to come and participate and build a love for the great outdoors and the activities that it offers.
With the availability of room and board as homestay and camping facilities across our 40-acre campus, with the onset of Covid, the campsite is now a haven for friends, family, and large group outings catering to above 100 people to safely enjoy, relax or sightsee in the neighborhood areas while undertaking adventures of their choice. You can find glimpses of all these on our website, Facebook page, and youtube.
Please reach out and request whatever you wish to undertake.
