SCOUTINDIA’S TREKKING
Trekking encourages team bonding by using a challenging activity to develop an important close-knit relationship between colleagues and their superiors. Focus is on learning to lead by example, slowing down to help those in need, understanding the importance of following orders to get ahead, and most of all, maintaining a pace of movement that is comfortable with the whole group. A trek helps you always stay alert, communicate efficiently, develop resilience, think critically, stay calm.
Trekking has proved to be one of the most popular outdoor team building activities favored by many MNCs. Most treks are organized during cooler weather such as the monsoon or winters to help those who are new to the sport get acclimatized to the activity and enjoy it. So, whether your team consists of seasoned trekkers looking for challenging terrain, or you want a comfortable relaxing stroll through nature, Scoutindia has something exclusively for you.
We have categories all the treks in 3 grades i.e. easy, moderate and difficult. This categorization is based on criteria like trekking duration, trekking inclination, season of trekking and so on. However personal fitness levels, trekking skills & past trekking experiences, group size and average age of a group are the variable things which can sometimes make the difficult trek an easy one. Trekking grades are subjective. It totally depends on many variable parameters. Hence you can get in touch with our experts and get consultation for choosing a right trek for your team.

The Source of the Ganga Trek
The River Ganges or the Ganga is the most sacred river in Hindu religion and its source at Gaumukh on the Gangotri glacier is one of the holiest destinations for Hindu pilgrims, who come here to witness the birth of Mother Ganga. Our trek takes us to Gaumukh, the mythological source of the River Ganges, which is at the snout of the Gangotri glacier. At Gaumukh, blocks of glacier fall into the river and pilgrims dip themselves in the freezing water to “cleanse themselves of their sins”. The Gangotri glacier’s melting waters form the Bhagirathi River and at this point the river sparkles and starts its rapid descent through the mountains. A combination of the trek and the Bhagirathi rafting expedition is an excellent introduction to the adventure opportunities, the colorful culture and the traditional village life of the Himalayas.
