Dholpur, June 2026: Four girl cadets from Rashtriya Military School (RMS), Dholpur, delivered an impressive performance at HIMTREK 2026, an All-Girls National Integration and Trekking Camp held in Himachal Pradesh from June 5 to 12, 2026.
Organised at Solan and Waknaghat under the aegis of the 1 HP Girls Battalion NCC, the week-long camp brought together girl cadets for a programme focused on leadership, physical endurance, national integration and character development.
The participation of RMS Dholpur’s cadets reflected the school’s continued emphasis on holistic education and its commitment to nurturing courageous, disciplined and future-ready leaders.
Challenging Himalayan Treks Test Cadets’ Endurance
During the camp, participants undertook demanding treks across several Himalayan routes, including Dumher, Mata Tara Devi, Wakna, Bahra and Karol Tibba.
The challenging trails required cadets to display physical stamina, resilience, adaptability and teamwork. They were also required to make decisions and support one another while operating in difficult terrain and changing weather conditions.
The trekking activities were designed not merely as physical exercises but as opportunities to develop confidence, leadership qualities and the ability to remain calm under pressure.
Sessions on Defence Careers, Self-Defence and Social Awareness
Alongside the adventure activities, HIMTREK 2026 included educational and awareness sessions aimed at broadening the cadets’ intellectual and social outlook.
The participants attended expert sessions on career opportunities in the defence services, self-defence techniques and organ donation awareness. They also took part in brainstorming exercises, quizzes, cultural competitions and group activities.
These programmes encouraged cadets to think creatively, communicate effectively and engage with participants from different regions of the country, strengthening the spirit of national integration.
