About Us

The Indiahikes School of Outdoor Learning (InSOUL) supports crucial social-emotional learning and competencies that fall through the cracks in classrooms. 
Where we come from
InSOUL was built on the conviction that people come alive in the outdoors.

For over 13 years, we’ve seen students returning from our treks feeling more joyful and self-aware, as well as emotionally and physically resilient. 

If you’re wondering why this happens, our programmes are the perfect amalgamation of:

being in unfamiliar environments
feeling strong emotions of joy, awe, and gratitude in nature
specially-designed activities and experiences that enable organic learning and self-discovery

InSOUL is on a mission to bring nature back into young people’s lives - where being outdoors isn’t considered extra-curricular but foundational to life and learning.
And the earlier one begins, the deeper this relationship remains for life.
our mission
It’s hard work preparing students for a world where the old rules no longer apply. A world evolving at such rapid intensity that young people struggle to make sense of their place and purpose within it. 

While parents and institutions pour their heart into raising well-rounded students, one can only achieve so much inside a classroom. That’s where we can help.

Why bring your students on an InSOUL trek?

Young people need unfamiliar, challenging spaces to discover who they are and what they’re capable of. To actualise their strengths and potential, not just for self-growth but also, the larger good.
