We envision India as an ‘Outdoor Nation’ with equal and active participation of women where they all have the opportunity to set their sights high and reach their highest potential.
NungshiTashi Foundation fosters outdoor spirit among Indians, especially girls and women to promote empowerment through self-awareness, leadership and outdoor livelihoods. We accomplish this mission through outdoor education and leadership, cultural, adventure sports and exchange programs that engage youth, students, educators, mountaineers, adventurers and explorers and rising leaders in India, the South Asian region and the world.
