Girivihar is an adventure club in Mumbai promoting Sports like trekking, Mountaineering rock climbing, Skiing, Cycling, Children camps and outdoor activities. Through this basic activity has sprung the more advanced pursuits of Rock-Climbing, High Altitude trekking in the Himalay and mountaineering expeditions to Himalayan peaks.
Girivihar was established in 1964 with the aim of promoting a sense of adventure and love for nature among youths mainly through outdoor activities such as trekking and hiking. The club was transformed from the The Inter Collegiate Hikers Club originally formed in 1954 by some professors & students of Bombay University to promote hiking & trekking to the hills & forts of the Sahyadris among the students & teachers of the Bombay University. However, in order to broaden the membership base beyond the people of Bombay University it was renamed to GIRIVIHAR. Since then the club has grown from strength to strength. It has continued to successfully organize its primary activity of hiking & trekking in the Sahyadri ranges consistently for the last 49 years.
