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.
