We know that stepping into the outdoors can feel overwhelming as there are weather shifts, new environments and so many variables beyond our control. But that’s exactly why we’re here.
At InSOUL, safety is a pillar, it’s a deep commitment to the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of every child, educator, professional and team member on our programmes.
‍
Before any trek begins, we conduct detailed risk assessments based on the specific route, terrain, and time of year. We share clear, transparent safety protocols with institutions well in advance so there are no surprises.
‍
Every trek is led by a highly trained team. Our Trek Leaders and Facilitators go through a rigorous 6–8 month training process, and continue to receive technical and seasonal upskilling. Many are certified Wilderness First Responders (WFR), trained to respond to emergencies in remote environments. They carry medical kits, emergency gear, and communication tools like walkie-talkies on every trek.
‍
But beyond logistics and certifications, our facilitators are also deeply attuned to children and young adults. They’re trained to notice when someone’s struggling, offer the right kind of support, and create an atmosphere of trust and care.
‍
We stay in close coordination with your institution’s team and share regular updates, clear lines of communication, and region-specific protocols. From carefully selected basecamps to insurance coverage, we’ve built a system where everyone can feel safe, supported, and free to grow.
‍
Because when safety is held with care, learning unfolds with ease.

We understand that taking students outdoors, especially on a multi-day trek can feel like a big leap. That’s why we’re with you from the start to keep you informed and ready.

As soon as your programme is confirmed, we assign a dedicated coordinator who stays in touch with you, your students, and parents and guides everyone through the preparation process.
‍
You’ll receive a detailed gear list and high-quality rental gear if needed, so that nobody misses out due to a lack of equipment.
We’ll walk you through our safety protocols in plain, practical terms and hold a pre-trek briefing to answer all your questions. We also take care of registrations, insurance and documentation, helping you navigate the paperwork with ease.
‍
By the time you step onto the trail, you’ll feel fully prepared.

Our standard package does not include pickup and drop from the campus. However, if the school or college requires it, we can arrange it at an additional cost.

InSOUL focuses exclusively on outdoor education through trekking programmes — not local sightseeing.
Our expertise lies in multi-day camping treks, nature walks, and wilderness skills that nurture confidence and character in students.

Our programmes begin from a designated basecamp. Transport from the basecamp to the trek start point and back from the trek end point to the basecamp is included.
‍
We do not include or customise the itinerary to include sightseeing.

Himalayan Treks: At our basecamps, students stay in Swiss tents with access to cloakrooms where they can leave behind any extra luggage. During the trek, accommodation is in high-quality Hillman expedition tents (2–3 sharing).

Southern India Treks:

Coorg: Dormitory or 3-sharing room options — the most comfortable among our stays.

Kodaikanal: Treehouses, tents, or dorms — offering a comfortable yet adventurous experience.

Channarayana Durga: Authentic camping in tents on a scenic farm with minimal amenities (basic dining and washrooms).

All meals — breakfast, lunch, snacks with tea, and dinner — are included in the trek fee from arrival to departure.

En-route meals during travel can also be arranged at vegetarian restaurants (optional and at an additional cost).

All our meals are strictly vegetarian, though eggs can be included on request. We do not serve non-vegetarian food during our programmes.

The menu is wholesome, balanced, mildly spiced, and hygienically prepared with fresh ingredients, ensuring that it’s suitable for students.

We can also accommodate dietary preferences such as gluten-free, vegan, or Jain meals.

Our food is freshly cooked at high altitudes using in-house spice mixes to maintain both taste and nutrition.

In keeping with our Green Trails policy, we discourage packaged snacks or takeout food to ensure our programmes remain sustainable and zero-waste.

The total cost of the programme will be shared in your location-specific proposal, with transport optional and charged based on the group size.

All GST and applicable taxes are included in the final proposal, so there are no hidden costs.

Once we receive your billing details through our vendor registration form, we will issue a formal quotation and invoice in the school/college’s name for your records.
‍

We’ll share a detailed checklist of required documents during coordination.

Typically, schools need to provide:
Student details (ID, age, gender, email) for insurance purposes
‍Medical disclaimers for any pre-existing conditions
Parental consent forms confirming participation

To make this easier, we provide standard disclaimer and consent templates that schools can print, sign, and submit before the trek — this is a mandatory safety protocol, as trekking is classified as an adventure activity.

We also request one dedicated point of contact (POC) from the school to coordinate logistics, share student details, and serve as the communication bridge with our team before and during the trek.

Our coordination team stays in close touch throughout to ensure a smooth, stress-free process.
