Can you be out of breath - and still keep running with determination? Can you have a lot to say - and yet not utter a single word? Can you have a phobia of heights - and yet cross the tallest obstacles? Can you be terribly hungry - and yet keep at your task wholeheartedly? Can you have a fever - and still climb a mountain adventurously? Can you disagree - and yet keep all things aside to say 'Yes Sir!' like a solider?
Can you dare to experience that you are NOT your body -
and that if you really don't mind - it doesn't matter.
Oasis Misaal Winners (Read our previous Alive to understand Misaal), upon successful progress in their Oasis Live-Love-Learn (L3) Course, are giftedwith Military Training & Himalaya Trekking programs.
Unlike usual Himalaya Trekking programs... Misaal winners spend a gadget free, introspective & silent time with nature & themselves.
Unlike usual Freedom Oriented OasisPrograms... Military Training is an experience of strict discipline, to cultivate the mind, body & heart.
It is thisthoughtful curation & combination of workshops & explorations that make it a holistic leadership development process for the winners.

Facilitators Reflections...
"Oasis Himalaya Trekking was unique compared to other trekking programs in many ways. Educational sessions were the main part & trekking was taken as a base of opportunity for the same."
"I felt really amazing when my participants were curious and getting happy with changing nature everyday, they were expressing their reflections and within me a river was moving, 'a river of joy'."
"I thoroughly enjoyed the time spent in nature, engaging in meaningful conversations with the youth, and the overall trekking experience."
"One of the most striking aspects of the entire expedition was witnessing how everyone stretched their limits to become the best version of themselves, despite the limited resources available to us."
"This training helped me to grow not just physically but mentally and emotionally too. In Military training we bring our workshop learnings into reality and practice them. I had to keep my body, mind and soul together every moment. It was tough but worth all the struggles."
~ Seejal PS., Misaal Winner
"Military of mind is an amazing concept which every person should experience in their youth. I got the ability to understand my body and mind, feeling mentally independent."
~Niranjan M., Misaal Winner
"After this training I will be able to extend myself more and to challenge my own fears, I will not doubt myself, my capability and my will power. I will take challenges to improve myself and try my level best."
~ Madhu Jha, Misaal Winner
