Bangalore, August 19, 2009: The Nehru Institute of Mountaineering (NIM) successfully undertook its’ Everest Expedition 2009 where a 18 member team scaled the world’s highest peak.

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.

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.
