Smart Tips

Plastic-Free Zone: The campus strictly bans plastic bottles. You must pay a ₹10 refundable deposit for a sticker if you carry one.

The "Red Panda" Rule: Arrive before 11:00 AM; these shy animals are most active during morning feeding.

Respect the Silence: HMI is an active military-run academy; maintain silence near training areas.

Museum Protocol: Flash photography is strictly forbidden inside the Everest Museum to protect heritage artefacts.
