A Brief History of Rock Climbing in Hyderabad
Hyderabad’s relationship with rock climbing began quietly, nurtured by a handful of nature lovers and adventure enthusiasts in the early 2000s. The city’s natural granite formations, some over 2.5 billion years old, drew climbers who saw the potential for both sport and conservation.
The Role of GHAC & Hyderabad Climbers
In 2008, the Great Hyderabad Adventure Club (GHAC) was founded, bringing together like-minded adventurers. Soon after, Hyderabad Climbers emerged as GHAC’s dedicated rock climbing division.
Through regular meetups, beginner workshops, and outdoor climbing sessions, Hyderabad Climbers made the sport accessible, safe, and fun for all. Over the years, they’ve organized climbing events, conservation drives, and trips to iconic climbing destinations like Hampi and Badami.
