The students of class IX- XII got a
chance to go on a trip to Kopatty in COORG TREK

Coorg. The trip was organized by India
hikes, a hiking community filled with

nature lovers, travellers and explorers
alike. The two-day trip was filled with Grade X students

fantastic views from the top of the hills
and the beauty of the streams flowing

through the veins of the Western
Ghats. The hike up the mountains was

exhausting for some but the view from
the summit was rewarding.

The students also learned how to pitch their
Grade IX students
own tents and this experience served as a
simulation for what trekking would actually

feel like to first time campers. Apart from this,
students spotted various birds and insects

which were rare and indigenous to the area
like the Malabar hornbill and the signature

spider. The students learned the importance of
teamwork, skill and tenacity. On the whole, it

was a fun filled trip with cherished memories
for the students.
