At XLRI, plans are in progress to scale the Island Peak in the Himalayas. This peak situated to the south of Mt. Everest scales to a whooping altitude of 20,305 feet. Students will attend a 2 month long training camp conducted by mountaineering professionals to build up the required stamina.
Taking inspiration from the Wharton Leadership Program, the annual event at Wharton Business School, XLRI Leadership Expedition (XLE) was started three years ago.
XLRI, School of Business and Human Resources truly believe that leadership and learning are inseparable. It is the first Indian Bschool to encourage experiential learning in the form of a Leadership Expedition held every year in the month of March. XLE exposes students to hardships and adverse conditions through challenging adventure activities with the objective of developing leadership traits amongst the participants, says XLRI.
The team shall also undergo a week long equipment training session from one of Indias premier mountaineering institutes. The expedition is organized by the Adventure and Nature Club of XLRI, popularly known as XLANC in campus.
In the first year of XLE, it was climbing the Mt. Everest Base Camp (altitude of 18,480 feet) followed by a bike ride from Pune to Kanniyakumari (3000 km) in the second year. XLE has also propagated every year a new social or environmental cause. For instance, the mission of the 2006 XLE was spreading AIDS awareness whereas the 2007 XLE aimed at spreading tourism along coastal India.
