Inception:
Diyanat Ali, founder and chief organizer of the club developed an interest for adventure when he was a child and has been a member of the NCC. After the term with 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 May 2008, when he came up with an idea of starting a club for like minded people who were keen on adventure. After a period of research and experimenting, he choose the meetup platform, at a time when the website was hardly known to few. He took the risk and started a meetup website www.ghac.in.

GHAC belongs to its members. It is totally volunteer based club. We have a group of about 60 trained volunteers who are called group leaders, and known as organisers on the meetup website platform. They have been chosen for their ability to lead a group and serve selflessly. The club actively looks out for experienced members who love to share their passion and give back to the community.
The experienced and trained organisers conduct a range of adventure activities from Rock climbing, Rappelling, Bouldering, Water Rafting, Sea sailing, trekking, Jungle Treks, Scaling hillocks, camping, caving, mountain climbing, para sailing, scuba diving, exploring new places and anything that spells adventure.

The club is open to everyone, irrespective of gender, caste, creed, religion or economic status of any individual. It’s for both, the novice who wants to get started, for the amateur who wants to experiment and for the professional who want to share.
