Summer Schools Himalayas 2015

About Us Based in Dehradun, Eco-Path is an initiative of young

development and hospitality professionals that have a passion for organizing educational and exposure tours which are not mainstream tourism.

The idea behind this is to develop a sustainable tourism aspect in Uttarakhand. At the same time, we ensure that the visiting students do not miss out on fun and adventure activities.

Being a local group, Eco-Path team has the added advantage of being able to provide grassroots/community experiences including voluntarism.

 

Why Us Organizing a summer school in India can be a

daunting job for anyone, and this is where Eco-Path can be a reliable and efficient resource group.

  As a partnering firm, Eco-Path takes care of the logistical needs that are required for organizing a summer school. Be it transportation, accommodation, and travel bookings. Eco-Path has a panel of eminent speakers on diverse themes that are relevant to the summer school.

Eco-Path partners with different local organizations (NGOs/institutions/Groups, etc.) that ensure students get in-depth experience and is economically viable.

Why Dehra-dunDehradun is the capital city of the newly

formed state of Uttarakhand in India. A small peaceful town at the foothills of Himalayas, Dehradun has a wide range of activities and places of interests to offer. Dehradun offers a peaceful environment, busy markets and good climate all the year round.

A popular hill station by the name of Mussoorie, also the summer capital during the British era, is just 30 km away and one can explore this quaint little hill station without spending hours travelling.

Topics of interest

Summer schools can be tailor-made on any subject and of any duration, as per Organization/University specifications.

Our experience, knowledge and contacts enable us to offer specialized summer schools that cover wide range of subjects varying from history, law, medicine, arts, media, etc.

Other Activities In addition to gaining knowledge, the

summer school has an in-built component of adventure activities like trekking, hiking, river rafting, visits to local places of interest and religious places.

The objective is for students to get a holistic perspective of Indian society and culture and helps them form a well rounded opinion of India as a subcontinent.

Our Clients University of Cologne ( Germany) organized

a summer school and engaged Eco- Path to take care of all their arrangements.

The Summer School was attended by not only students from the prestigious German University but a number of other Universities as well.

The summer program was a huge success and in the coming months Eco-path will be organizing more of such schools for our esteemed clients.
