Great Hyderabad Adventure Club is a Non Profit community group from Hyderabad city in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India consisting of like minded volunteers and individuals who are interested in adventure, nature and outdoor activities

Hyderabad and Adventure - an unlikely combination but the Great Hyderabad Adventure Club (GHAC) merges them into an adventurous union. Started in May 2008 by Diyanat Ali, a software engineer by profession, GHAC is one of the first online adventure clubs of Hyderabad. The club has received a great response from the otherwise ‘laidback’ city of the Nizams and till date has successfully completed over 200 meetups and has a total of 2300 members and growing!

Inception:
Diyanat Ali who is the chief organizer of the club developed an interest for adventure when he was a member of the NCC. Even after leaving the NCC he didn’t let go of his love for adventure and turned it into a full fledged hobby. Together with a small group of friends Diyanat would go on regular treks and participate in adventure activities whenever time permitted, till 2008, when he came up with an idea of starting a club for people who were keen on trekking. So he started a meet up website www.ghac.in.

GHAC found lot of support from initial members like Dr Prasad. Mario, Priyank, Ali Razvi, Rajan Patel, Vibha, Padmaja, Javed and few other members who joined in later like Ranga, Manisha, Sreenath, Prashant Pai, Deepam, Arun Raj who added a lot of value to the club by introducing new places and conducting score of adventure activities. without the support of these people GHAC would not have reached where it stands today.

GHAC has experienced and trained volunteers and had conducted a range of adventure activities from Rock climbing, Rappelling, Bouldering, Water Rafting, Sea sailing, trekking, Jungle Treks, Scaling hillocks, camping and anything that spells adventure.

More and more ideas and adventures are added by the very active and hard working organisers who are dedicated to making this group a leading adventure sports and activity centre for residents of Hyderabad. The fibre and fabric of this is to provide a better quality of life as make new friends in an exciting, healthy and safe manner.

GHAC focuses on weekend getaways, with a physically challenging twist and professionals on hand to help one explore their active side. The group is currently made up of professionals in their early twenties to those in their late forties. There are also two junior divisions that plan appropriate children’s activities which is aimed to fostering personal growth and instilling courage and confidence through outdoor activities. GHAC is healthy nonalcoholic non-smoking group that ultimately creates camaraderie and great memories. It is also the largest meetup group in India, currently having over 40 Organizers and 2300 members. The club is run by volunteers and it actively looks out for experienced members who love to share and give back to the community.

As an outdoor adventure club, GHAC helps you to understand the few simple things that help you reclaim your life. Take pleasure of being outdoors in the open, on the top of that peak, under the open sky, near the river stream, out in the wild and all that Mother Nature has given you…"GET MORE OUT OF LIFE"
