School Trips

Questrails is a specialist in school group adventures to some of the most captivating destinations. Our experience in organising school group adventures spans twelve years. We have especially designed programmes for schools wherein we promote the concept of soft adventure combined with learning activities. The outcome, a tour utilized for learning purposes.

The idea is also to promote areas that have no attractions like a metro hill station, but are blessed with abundance of nature in its untouched form. We are passionate about immersing young people in environments that offer unique experiences and which are bound to have profound, life changing effects.

But Questrails takes this a step further by involving students in a ‘hands on’ project that will help an underprivileged community leaving a positive and permanent benefit for the peoples of that community. Students will experience the joy of giving without the expectation of reward or reciprocation when they give their time and physical effort to those less fortunate.

Our adventures also teach students the important values of teamwork, building self-confidence, cultural understanding and an interest in natural environments.

They will experience the world beyond computers and shopping malls to where the power of an adventure experience is enjoyed in all of its components.

Questrails has its own permanent camps set up in pristine areas of Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh . These are adventure based camps in the wilderness, away from regular ‘touristic’ places. Strategically located, they afford opportunity for a variety of activities and give the participants a close contact with nature and a true taste of adventure.

Itineraries designed also act as an educational supplement along with making it a great holiday.
