Auden’s Col Trek: Sep 2019 by Ambika
When the natural world talks to us, it is usually in whispers that are often lost in the din of our own noise.

I count myself fortunate to…

Know Arunachal: Condé Nast Traveller
The vast, turquoise blue Siang runs through the heart of the valley it lends its name to, and is easily its showstopper.

Art on a Break – The Hindu
While treks are one of the best ways to escape city life, they are also a great place to teach your child to appreciate nature through creative activities. Ask them to draw, paint or even make a collage of the leaves, rivers, insects and animals they see around them. Children love to identify different cloud shapes, and a journal is a lovely way to capture memories of the camp fire, the tents and all the little things that make the trip special.
