Students from Kochi's Global Public School scale Mount Everest
'In an era where teenage interests are often dominated by video games, fast food, and passive leisure, GPS chose to challenge the norm. With vision, planning and an unwavering belief in the potential of its students, the school curated this two-week Himalayan expedition in partnership with the Re-Live Adventure team, a pioneer in youth adventure experiences,' says Dilip George, dean and principal of the school
Far from being a spontaneous endeavour, the trek was the culmination of two months of intense training designed and executed by Binoy Boban from Re-Live Adventure.
'This journey represents the essence of what we believe education should be - bold, transformative, and deeply human. Students underwent structured fitness training, nutrition awareness sessions, mental conditioning, and team-building exercises to promote resilience, self-discipline and leadership,' says Dilip.
The intensive training sessions came in handy as they battled harsh terrains, high altitudes, and limited comforts. According to the school management, the experience has left the students not only with incredible memories but with a profound sense of accomplishment and personal growth. The group returned to Kochi on Sunday.

Freedom With Purpose and Poetry on Roads
1 2 Ranchi: In 2014, when Ranchi's Ankush Kasera set out alone to Raigarh Fort during his college days in Pune, he wasn't chasing a tourist checklist. He was chasing silence and found something far bigger. "At Raigarh, I understood life. It was poetic, spiritual, and also held a mirror in front of me. I went there alone but came back as a new person," he said. Since then, solo travelling has become his life's calling. From the cliffs of Meghalaya to the misty trails of Arunachal Pradesh, Ankush has wandered alone through the remotest corners of the Northeast. These journeys led him to pick up nature photography. "In the Northeast, I would trek alone in the rainforests, wait for the perfect light to fall on a bird's wing or a waterfall. Solo travel teaches you patience and sharpens observation," he said. Today, Ankush works closely with the Jharkhand govt, capturing forests, lifestyle, and tribal culture. He has solo-travelled to Gujarat's Kutch, explored Rajasthan's deserts, and continues to write poetry inspired by his journeys. Among Jharkhand's young adventurers, solo travelling is emerging as a powerful personal movement, driven by the urge to disconnect, reflect, and rediscover life beyond the routine. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Ultimate List: 30 Hidden Seaside Towns in Europe That Deserve the Spotlight Learn More Undo Some seek solitude, others chase a poetic high or spiritual clarity. For some, it's about bold storytelling; for others, it's about mental relief. Social media platforms have also opened many avenues. But at its core, solo travel is about freedom, self-love, and resilience, learning to be alone without feeling lonely. For Samir Ranjan, a Tata Steel employee from Muri, solo travelling started during a stressful phase of life but ended up becoming a lifelong practice. In 2019, after completing his apprentice training, Samir faced the classic transition pressure moving from student life to job responsibilities. Feeling stuck and tense, he booked an impromptu solo trip to Varanasi. "I was scared of this new life phase, earning, adjusting, and being responsible. But when I sat at Manikarnika Ghat watching corpses burn, I realised life will always be uncertain. There's no point carrying stress forever. That trip gave me clarity," Samir said. "In group trips, you're stuck between selfies, food debates, and time-wasting. I wanted to travel for clarity, not for social media posts," he added. Since then, Samir has solo-travelled to Ladakh, explored Odisha's hidden trails, and trekked alone to Pangarchulla Peak in Uttarakhand, a high-altitude summit that tested both his endurance and mindset. In a remarkable feat of endurance and courage, Kanchan Ugursandi, a senior pharmacist with the Govt of India, has emerged as the first solo woman rider from Jharkhand to cover 22 Himalayan passes, including some of the world's highest motorable routes all on her trusted Royal Enfield Himalayan 411cc motorcycle. Originally from Ranchi, and currently posted in Delhi, Kanchan's journey began from the Rann of Kutch, Gujarat, and stretched to the Uttarakhand-China border, passing through Gujarat, Rajasthan, Punjab, Jammu, Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand. Among her most notable milestones are: Umling La Pass (Eastern Ladakh) at 19,024 ft, the world's highest motorable pass; Sasarla Pass (Siachen Sector) at 17,250 ft; Nurbula Top (Eastern Ladakh) at 17,421 ft Lipulekh Pass (Kailash Mansarovar Road, Uttarakhand) at 17,500 ft, near the Indo-China border. "I received immense support from the Ministry of Defence and Border Roads Organisation (BRO). Security forces ensured I had the guidance and safety needed to access restricted terrain. I want to encourage women to travel on their own," she said. While navigating treacherous terrains, unpredictable weather, and altitude sickness, Kanchan says mental strength was as important as physical preparedness. For women aspiring to travel solo, she advised: "Always inform your family about your route, carry satellite navigation tools, and wear full riding safety gear. Confidence is key, but preparation is non-negotiable." For 25-year-old Abhinav Yadav, solo travel is not just a hobby; it's his way of life. A resident of Sahibganj, Abhinav said he found his true calling not in classrooms or corporate jobs, but on the open road. "I shifted five jobs between 2018 and 2019. Nothing made sense to me. Then I took my first solo trip to Darjeeling and Sikkim, and I realised I didn't want to travel like a tourist, I wanted to explore as a traveler," he said. In the last five years, Abhinav has covered nearly 1.5 lakh km on bikes and another 20,000 km through hitchhiking. His hitchhiking routes have taken him from Kanyakumari to the Kartarpur Corridor in Punjab, the visa-free entry point for Indian pilgrims visiting Pakistan's Gurdwara Darbar Sahib, and also to African countries. Pranay Sinha, a passionate biker from Ashok Nagar in Ranchi, has become the first solo rider from Jharkhand to reach the world's highest motorable road in Chumar, Eastern Ladakh, a region secured by the Indo Tibetan Border Police near the China border. Pranay's biking journey began in 2017 with a group ride to Darjeeling. Motivated by travel shows and a deep interest in India's border cultures, he started solo riding in 2018, completing trips to Ladakh, Srinagar, Sikkim, Bhutan, Nepal, and Himachal Pradesh over the past 7–8 years. A mechanical engineering graduate from Delhi, Pranay originally aspired to join the Army or Merchant Navy. However, during a long waiting period, he began exploring remote terrains on his own, using self-drawn maps and riding gears. "Solo travel gives you a blank canvas. There's no one telling you where to go or how to feel. You create your own story," Ankush added. Samir agrees, "It teaches you that you're enough. You don't need a crowd to validate your happiness."

Tea-loving Nepal is warming up to coffee
Coffee hasn't always been an easy sell in Nepal. The Himalayan country is a major tea producer, as well as a major consumer. When people greet each other in the morning, they don't ask 'how are you.' They say 'have you had your tea?' Tea — usually served with as a sweet, milky beverage in a piping hot glass tumbler — is as much a part of Nepal's culture as rice, a constant presence at homes, meetings and social gatherings. But a growing number of Nepalis are warming up to coffee, as trendy cafes spring up street corners in cities and towns across the country. One cafe in the capital, Kathmandu, is widely seen as the pioneer. Gagan Pradhan began Himalayan Java as a single cafe in an alley, and it's grown to a chain with 84 locations the country. Pradhan estimates there around 7,000 cafes across the country, although so far international brands like Starbucks aren't in Nepal. 'There are lot of tea shops throughout the nation, but the kind of set up they have is still kind of old fashioned,' Pradhan said. 'I think with investors and people like us, when it comes to coffee shop we are more serious not only with machines, we are serious with everything like the lighting, the set up, the furnishings, the location.' Pradhan said tea shops usually offer just black tea or tea with milk, whereas a typical coffee menu has 10-15 hot beverages and about 10-15 cold beverages, he said. Pradhan said it's an appealing business because the initial investment to open a cafe is very low, they're clean and simple enough for a single to family to run, and customers are willing to pay more for coffee. Several of eastern Nepal's tea plantations in the mountains of east Nepal, famous for the tea, are joined by coffee plantations now. Nepal is part of a regional trend. Coffee consumption has soared across traditionally tea-drinking countries in Asia as members of growing middle classes seek out novel flavors and adopt international trends. Coffee is a premium drink in Nepal: it costs about $2 at Himalayan Java, which is enough to buy a meal at a local cafe in Kathmandu, or five cups of tea. Still, cafes bustle with officers workers on breaks and students looking for places to study. 'I think the idea of drinking coffee (in Nepal) was first triggered with people thinking it would elevate their standard of living, but then once they tasted coffee many people just liked it and continued to drink it,' said Deep Singh Bandari, a social worker who is a regular visitor to the coffee cafes. Most of the coffee drunk in Nepal is imported, but in the country's famous eastern tea-growing regions coffee plantations are springing up. According to Nepal's National Tea and Coffee Development Board, about 400 tons of coffee was produced in fiscal year 2021-22, the most recent for which data is available. That's a drop in the percolator compared to the 26,000 tons of tea produced the same year, but the board predicts rapid growth. 'Both young and old people in Nepal just love coffee, and the number of coffee drinkers is growing every day. This trend is just going to grow,' said Pradhan.
