About Programme

Indiahikes is a Trained Activity Provider of the International Award for Young People (IAYP).
Our Experiential Learning Programmes perfectly align with the objectives of the IAYP's Adventurous Journey component.
All our programs take place on thrilling wilderness treks, ranging from day treks to multi-day treks.
Overview:
The IAYP program at Indiahikes comprises three key elements that enhance participants' learning experience:
- Adventure and challenges that emerge on the trek naturally
- Specially designed learning activities that inspire new thoughts, actions, and behaviour
