“To move, to breathe, to fly, to float,
To gain all while you give,
To roam the roads of lands remote,
To travel is to live.”
― Hans Christian Andersen
The Trek to Sandakphu
Every year, at the tail end of their two years of Senior School, the students prepare blah blah to go on a trek on the .
Along the Coast to Gokarna
Over the course of a week-long coastal trek, students traverse 12 beaches, beginning from the quiet shores of Honnavar and ending at the bustling temple town of Gokarna. Along the way, they encounter fishermen, tourists, and members of the Halakki tribe, gaining insight into the diverse cultural and ecological landscape of the region.
Students engage deeply with the coastal fishing communities to understand their struggles—particularly the challenges posed by commercial fishing practices, changing seasonal patterns, and the resulting impact on traditional livelihoods.
A key ecological highlight of the journey is the observation of Olive Ridley sea turtle nesting, offering students a chance to reflect on marine conservation and coastal biodiversity.
The journey culminates in Gokarna, where students explore the town’s spiritual heritage and layered history, witnessing firsthand the intersection of ecology, culture, and faith along the coast.
