Association Overview

Ladakh Mountain Rescue is a volunteer-driven mountain safety initiative working under the Ladakh Mountain Guide Association. The team was founded in 2025 to provide organised, professional rescue support for trekkers, climbers and local communities in Ladakh’s high‑altitude terrain.

Today the association brings together 20+ trained members, including LMGA‑certified mountain guides, first responders, and local volunteers. They specialize in search and rescue, winter and ice‑climbing incidents and In-land evacuation support in remote valleys and high passes across Ladakh.

Ladakh Mountain Rescue also runs safety awareness sessions, basic rescue training, and coordination with partner organisations and local administration. Through these efforts, the association helps make adventure tourism in Ladakh safer while supporting the communities who live in the Himalayas.
