We're delighted to announce that in mid-January 2023 Indiahikes was officially registered as a Trained Activity Provider with the International Award for Young People (IAYP). IAYP delivers the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award in India to offer our schools new ways to broaden their curriculum.

IAYP operates in more than 130 countries and territories. In India, there are only 12 registered TAP centres under IAYP. Indiahikes is one of them.

This means there is a sharp focus on cultivating a spirit of adventure and understanding the environment on a trek. It provides opportunities for young people to overcome fears and challenges and learn through experiences. The philosophy of IAYP is based on experiential learning (shown below): 

In a focussed experiential learning program, our aim is to motivate young people aged between 14 and 25 years to become involved in a balanced programme of voluntary self-development activities to take them through the potentially difficult period between adolescence and adulthood.
