There is the program titled as above in National Geographic channel, today the episode was related to mountaineering(Mission Everest), an personnel from Nehru Institute of Mountaineering,Uttarkashi was selecting students  fit for climbing Snow clad Mountains in Himalayas. The trainer was an Ex-ArmyServiceman(who else can work on this)  and was selecting apt candidates for climbing Everest.

the Rigorous test started with a 15-20 KM trek  in the forest with 18KG of load in the back,  Then with the same load the candidates were ask to do push-ups, Skipping  and Jogging.    First time many were seeing SNOW(there are many tamilians who havent seen water at all, i dont know when they are going to see snow) and wanted to play on it, instead they were asked to repeat the same set of excercises stated before on the SNOW.  They were asked to Tent in the snow(temperature mentioned was -10C)  and cook their own food.  After all this in the field once they returned to their camp they were asked to climb artificial vertical walls meant for training.    After 20 days of this stressfull test only 3 managed to pass through out of some 30 students. 

Those three will be accompanied with the Indian Army to climb the Mt. Everest.  It was really good to see such things exists in India.
