Mission Himalaya 2019 is devoted to the young people of Bangladesh to discover their hidden strengths. The young generation is highly dependent on technology for their entertainment and leisure time; unfortunately, many spend their free time engaging in negative (drugs for instance) activities and it is for this reason that their physical strength is hidden. This is how we are behind with potential youth energy which is vital for social development.
Rope4 would like to introduce to the young people of Bangladesh with positive adventure activities like Mountaineering through Mission Himalaya initiative each year. This is leading our youth towards an active and healthy lifestyle for their personal development.
