Bagpackers Club

Introduction

The Bagpackers' Club is a student and faculty-driven community at DBS Global University that brings together like-minded adventurers passionate about trekking, camping, and exploring the great outdoors.

The club aims to provide opportunities to explore various cultures and the picturesque Himalayas of Uttarakhand and Himachal. In today's world of chaos and constant stimulation, it's hard to quiet the mind and think. Getting into nature offers a way to find some silence and clarity, an important tool to counter the pressures of modern life.

The more pressure we put on ourselves, the more our health degrades. The Bagpackers' Club exists to remind students that the mountains are always calling, and the trail is the best classroom.
