It's that time of the year again, and we couldn’t be more excited! DPS Bangalore North’s much-anticipated season of Day Treks around Bangalore is kicking off today, and it’s going to be BIG.

How big, you ask? Nearly 3,000 students will be hitting the trails over three action-packed weeks!

Last week, our team visited the school to meet the students and share our excitement for this grand adventure. We gave them a glimpse of what to expect from their series of day hikes, and we’re just as excited as they are!

But this isn’t just about adventure. As Honey Chandra Ma’am, the coordinator from DPS Bangalore North, shared after their previous season:

“Life Skills play a very important role in the development of a child, and we at DPS look into various platforms to encourage our students to explore themselves and inculcate life skills that will help them become better individuals. Every year, we take our students on experiential learning treks with Indiahikes. From this experience, I have seen students learn to keep the environment clean. They feel motivated and gain a sense of responsibility for themselves and others around them. Trekking is fun, adventurous, and a great way to learn. I have also seen them develop stronger team spirit and cooperate better. Their self-esteem and confidence clearly improve. They begin to value basic essentials such as water, food, etc., and show more gratitude.”

This remarkable vision of outdoor learning didn’t happen overnight. It’s been championed by incredible leaders like Manju Arif Ma’am and Renu Dimri Ma’am, Principal at DPS Bangalore North and West respectively, who have created a legacy of championing learning beyond the classrooms.

Their unwavering efforts have led thousands of students to step outdoors, embrace nature, and thrive through experiential learning.

Now, the next chapter begins. And we can’t wait to see what this season of treks holds for these young adventurers. Here’s to another season of learning, adventure and fun on treks!
