Lessons from the Hills of Koti 2026

This blog is about our journey to Koti, Chail in Himachal Pradesh. Koti is not just a small village but rather it is a place with abundant natural beauty. Surrounded by green hills and fresh mountain air, Koti offered a peaceful escape from the busy city life.

Upon reaching Koti, we arrived at our resort where we witnessed the breathtaking beauty of nature. Soon after, we went on a trek to another hill to explore nature to absorb the goodness of the surroundings. We also participated in Nature Mandala Art, making use of leaves, flowers, stones, and twigs helped us appreciate the beauty hidden in nature. This activity taught us patience, creativity, and the importance of using natural materials responsibly.

Once we were done, we went into the forest and showed our gratitude towards nature by collecting plastic waste. After finishing, we went back to the resort to have lunch and rest. In the evening, we participated in various activities. One of them was Fireless Cooking. The activity encouraged teamwork and innovation as we worked together to prepare healthy and delicious dishes without using fire. It showed us that cooking can be both fun and educational. Then we moved to our cottages to rest. The following morning, we did some exercises to refresh ourselves. On the last day, we took part in numerous activities as a team, one of them being zip lining. By the end of the day, our journey came to a conclusion and so we packed our luggages and went back home.

Overall, the journey was an unforgettable experience that helped us understand the importance of nature and develop respect for village life. It also taught us that adventure builds courage, confidence, and enhances the spirit of teamwork.
