Training is delivered in the form of lectures, demonstrations, practices and physical fitness and training. In order to ensure realistic training, different exercises are conducted form high altitude of 12,000 to 16,000 feet (3,700 to 4,900 m) at the surface of most famous peaks— the Nanga Parbat and Rakaposhi mountain ranges.
