Planning A School Trek? Read This First

Trekking takes you far away from human habitation or motorable roads. Most of us are accustomed to weekend trips in hill station towns – far from urban spaces yet still offering creature comforts. Trekking is much more exciting!

The benefits of a wilderness experience:

We venture into places most people will probably never see in their lives – all because we choose to walk there.
Trekking gives students opportunities to bond outside classroom environments. Away from academic pressures or incessant screen time, classmates get to know each other better. Friends become closer. Acquaintances may become friends.
Students may see their teachers in a new light while trekking. Since outdoor learning is not the same as classroom learning, the role of the teacher shifts. You can step back from having to “teach.” Teachers who accompany students on InSOUL treks are enablers more than instructors. Read more on .

What to expect:

The remoteness means that vehicles are not readily available. You cannot hop into a car to complete the rest of the trek. The only way is to keep walking ahead or turn back on foot.
In case of emergency evacuations, our team members walk back with you, often for hours. We descend the trails on foot until we can get you safely to the nearest village with a motorable road.
It’s important that schools are physically and mentally ready for this level of remoteness.
