General Thimayya National Academy of Adventure

About

Discovering real adventure is more than just chasing thrills. At our camps, I see young people step out of city comfort and into the wild, finding their own stamina and learning teamwork in ways that stick.

What Happens at Camp

• Get hands-on with camping basics, rope work, and wilderness navigation
• Tackle cliff scaling, long treks, and group challenges that test your grit
• Make friends for life while unplugging from screens and soaking in nature
• Spot local birds, butterflies, and wild plants with folks who know their stuff

Where You’ll Find Us

We run camps in Karnataka’s most stunning spots. Each camp has its own vibe:

• Barapole, Coorg: Surrounded by coffee estates, you’ll try mountain biking (18km ride!), ziplining, rope games, and trek through green valleys before chilling in a stream
• Ulavi, Uttara Kannada: Pure wilderness with cave exploration, outdoor survival lessons, and treks to hidden water streams

What to Expect

• Sleep in tents under the stars with other campers
• Eat simple food that tastes homemade - nothing fancy, but it hits the spot
• Our instructors are friendly, not the yelling type, and they’ve got your back

Who’s It For?

If you’re 10 to 16 and want a break from screens, join us for a real youth nature exploration. First-timers and regular campers both fit right in.

As one camper said, “romba romba nalla enjoy pannom” (we enjoyed it very very much). That’s exactly what camp should feel like.
