Started as an Adventure club for youth in 1989, My Himalayan Adventure was initially called Monal Adventure. Our founder Dr SC Biala has received accolades from various quarters in the mountaineering fraternity for his contribution to Indian Mountaineering and evolution of adventure for youth. Numerous present adventure and corporate leaders have been initiated to this world by him. He is also an honorary member of the Indian Mountaineering Foundation. He currently heads a school in Dehradun and is also a leading educationist having taught and later having headed a number of leading education institutions in the country. He brought a new dimension when he brought school children to regularly participate in serious adventure activities at The Doon School when he was in charge of all adventure there for 18 years. Due to his dedication and expertise, students climbed Kedar Dome(6,940 mt), this is a height record for a school expedition. He did similar work at The Scindia School as well as Cambrian Hall, which he heads. He is also a well known writer with 9 publications including 4 books on mountaineering. He is recognized in the mountaineering fraternity for having initiated youth into trekking and mountaineering over 20 years in education. He led students to numerous summits in the Himalayas and record breaking River Rafting descents. A very rare achievement. One of his most challenging and best known expedition was when he led an Amateur team on a Rafting and Kayaking expedition on a first descent of the river Tsarp. Starting from an altitude of 14,000 ft and encountering rapids up to grade 4, loosing pedals and kayaks and an experience to remember led them down the first descend on that river, which to the best of our knowledge hasn't been done even till date.. Other successful climbs include Mt Kalanag, Mt Bhagirathi 2, Mt Jaonli, Mt Jogin 3, Mt Kokthang to name a few.
