Aug. 19, 2009 - PRLog -- Bangalore, August :  The Nehru Institute of Mountaineering (NIM) successfully undertook its’ Everest Expedition 2009 where a 18 member team scaled the world’s highest peak. Herbalife India pioneering in the Nutrition and wellness industry provided the entire team with Herbalife Nutrition and NouriFusion Skin care products to facilitate necessary nutrition required for such a crucial and challenging environment.  

On the expedition and Herbalife’s support, Col Mangal Murthy Masur who headed the expedition said, “We are all about propagating the concept of adventure and the NIM Everest expedition 2009 thus is a great showcase for the institute. We are delighted that the team was able to scale the peak surmounting the challenges replete in such an exercise. More than a sponsor, Herbalife played a pivotal role to the team by providing Herbalife Nutritional shake mix, Afresh energy drink mix and the supplements which enabled the team to maintain high levels of energy all through and also the incredible NouriFusion skin care products which saved us from Skin Tan & chaps which regularly occur on such high altitude.

In his comments, Ajay Khanna, Country Head, Herbalife India, said “Being the pioneer and world leader in nutritional products, we are happy to associate ourselves with efforts like the Everest expedition which are among the most grueling even for seasoned mountaineers. That the team found our nutritional support helpful reinforces the value of our products and look forward to more such associations.”

About NIM:
The proposal to have a mountaineering Institute at Uttarkashi was mooted by the Ministry of Defence, Government of India and the Government of Uttar Pradesh in 1964. Uttarkashi was specially selected as the home of NIM, primarily because of its close proximity to the Gangotri region in western garhwal, which undoubtedly has the best climbing and training potential in India and perhaps in the world.

The aim of the Institute is to introduce and initiate young men, women and school children to the mountains and nature through its various mountaineering and adventure training courses, Special emphasis is laid on instilling the concept of adventure sports, without causing environmental degradation.
