Mountain Activities Gallery
The Hall of mountain activities prioritizes on the thorough display of mountains as per their height, and the people who have climbed it.
This third hall displays the equipments, clothes, different professional loops of the ropes and photographs of French Expedition team leader; recorder holder Maurice Herzog who scaled Annapurna for the first time in 1950.

Beside Herzog is Junko Tabei, the first Japanese women to scale Mt Everest. Timanishi, the first Manaslu summiteers and other climber’s equipments are showcased here. This hall also introduces fourteen peaks over eight thousand meters in a chronological order to the year they were conquered.

Equipment necessary for climbing mountains and rocks, their varieties and uses make the visitors familiar on how hard the scaling these mountains can be. Last but not the least is the famous legendry tales of Yeti, its myths, and publications of the illusive giant brown bear in one corner of the first floor. Although nobody has seen the creature, many have claimed of witnessing Yeti. Some have claimed to have photographed its foot prints on icy blanket, and some have seen it with their eyes closed. This section is dedicated to the Yeti whom nobody has seen but many like to believe in.
