Who Are We, And What We Do

The Indiahikes School of Outdoor Learning (InSOUL) designs thrilling mountain adventures with a focus on three distinct groups – Schools, Colleges, and Corporates. Our programmes blend treks and camping with targeted learning objectives.

InSOUL was born with a simple conviction: the outdoors teach what classrooms cannot. We believe:

  • Learning happens best through tangible experiences and reflection, with nature as the ultimate teacher, motivator, and healer.
  • Mindful trekking as a medium of learning closely mirrors life – the joys, the uncertainties, the possibilities, the challenges, and how best to navigate them.
  • Trekking with intention transforms the body, mind, and spirit. The impact is twice as profound when we integrating trekking with thoughtfully-designed learning programmes.

Mussoorie International School's Summer Treks: A Cherished Himalayan Tradition
30/04/2025

MIS Summer Treks: A Cherished Himalayan Tradition

Every summer for the past five years, the students of Mussoorie International School (MIS) have joined us on a special tradition of trekking in the Himalayas. This year was no different. Groups of enthusiastic students from MIS trekked to Aancha Top, Phulara Ridge, Ali Bedni Bugyal, Brahmatal, and Deoriatal-Chandrashila, each trek offering unique lessons and experiences.

On the Ali Bedni Bugyal trek, the girls showed remarkable engagement, especially when surrounded by the breathtaking wide-open meadows. The moment they reached the famed Ali Bugyal, they instinctively dropped their backpacks and raced to Ali Top, their joy uncontainable. The trek also inspired a deeply emotional "postcard session" where students wrote heartfelt messages to loved ones. So meaningful was the experience that many continued writing even after descending from the mountains. A strong takeaway for the girls was the realization that, away from family, it’s essential to care for one another like a family — a value they promised to take back to school.

On the Brahmatal trek the blooming rhododendrons became a highlight. Trek leaders noted how actively the students engaged, asking thoughtful questions about the forest and its elements.

Across treks, teachers observed a noticeable transformation: stronger bonds, a renewed sense of gratitude, and an eagerness to improve their fitness for future adventures. For MIS and InSOUL, these treks continue to be more than just a physical journey — they are annual rites of passage that shape young minds.
