About Multi-day Climbing Festivals & Retreats
What We’re All About
I started Climb Like a Woman because I wanted a space where women could just let loose, climb, and be themselves. Our multi-day climbing and wellness festivals aren’t just about the rock - they’re about finding your crew, pushing limits, and laughing loud without anyone shushing you. We head to wild spots like Hampi, Badami, and Sethan, where the landscape’s unreal and the energy’s contagious.
Who's It For?
If you’re a woman (or identify as one) and aged 10 or older, you belong here. No experience at all? Koi tension nahi (don’t worry)! We run super supportive, beginner-friendly outdoor retreats. If you’re already a climber, you’ll get to link up with some of India’s top female climbers and up your game at our female-led bouldering workshops.
What Goes Down
- Climbing sessions (bouldering and rope) with plenty of one-on-one tips
- Yoga, slacklining, nature meditation, and sometimes even a cheeky swim
- Evenings by the fire with food, stories, and connection
- All gear, accommodation, brekkie, and local rides sorted
Real Talk
It gets sweaty, sometimes scary, and you’ll probably get some blisters. But you’ll also leave with new friends, wild stories, and a stronger sense of self. Chale, ready to climb? (Let’s go!)

My Story
We started CLAW thinking it was just about climbing, but turns out, it’s about so much more. Growing up, girls here get told—don't be too loud, don't take up space. We wanted to flip that. Here, you can fall, laugh, get scared, and there’s always a bunch of women shouting for you, giving you that big group hug energy. We’re an NGO, making the outdoors safe and real for every woman. One but never alone, that's us.
My Work
What We Offer - Women-only climbing workshops, beginner-friendly bouldering sessions, community meetups, and our big outdoor climbing festivals in Hampi.
No Experience Needed - Never climbed before? Doesn't matter. If you’re curious, you’re in. We teach you everything, step by step.
Our Vibe - It’s not just about climbing—it's about cheering each other, learning, and finding your crew. Come as you are.
More Than Climbing - We’re an NGO breaking stereotypes, making a safe climbing environment for women. Sometimes yoga, sometimes slackline, always community.
