It was a special day for the students of SNIS as they set out on their very first treks with InSOUL. While the younger group of Grades 2–6 explored the beauty of Heggunda Betta, the older students of Grades 7–10 took on the challenge of Skandagiri. Both groups returned with stories of joy, learning, and discovery.
At Heggunda Betta, the younger children threw themselves into the experience with wide-eyed wonder. They stopped to watch tadpoles wriggling in pools of water, laughed as they worked together to create a mini waterfall, and soaked in the lush views from the top. The temple at the summit gave them a moment to pause, to take in the silence, and to listen to stories about the hill’s history and culture. For many, this was their first time trekking, and they loved every part of it, the fun, the challenge, and the sense of being close to nature.
Meanwhile, at Skandagiri, the older students had a more demanding climb. They rose to the challenge with grit and spirit. One of the boys, quietly inspired everyone by walking alongside our trek leader and helping to pick waste along the way, a small but powerful act of care for the outdoors. Another student, a girl who felt dizzy and tired on the steep trail, refused to give up. Though she proceeded slowly, her determination and mental strength shone through, reminding everyone what perseverance looks like.
Across both treks, the students were deeply engaged with the stories and facts shared about the landscapes, their history, and sustainability. They were curious, thankful, and eager to learn more. Teachers too shared how meaningful it was to watch their students step outside the classroom and discover the outdoors.
For our team, trekking with SNIS was a joy. To see both younger and older students embrace their trails so wholeheartedly was deeply heartening. As first treks go, this was a memorable beginning, and we are excited to see these young trekkers return to the outdoors for many more adventures.
