Coastal Trek of The BSS School

Soma's Camps | 21 Jan 2019

Trekking is a fairly popular means of getting away from the daily mayhem of our modern lifestyle. Treks along the mountainous routes are common, but not many people can boast of a trek on the coastal route. But we, a group of 20 students from The BSS School can reasonably claim that we did it. Close to 50 kms of walking along the coast of the Bay of Bengal was no easy task. But with a little bit of hard work and a pinch of motivation from Soma Ma’am and our instructors, we did it.

Chandipur to Talsari Coastal Trek : A Journal

Soma's Camps | 21 Jan 2019

Well, the heavy rucksacks were there. As were miles of walking and the beautiful sceneries and the photos. Only that this wasn’t in the mountains. For four days, we trekked along the beaches of Orissa enjoying each other’s company, cracking silly jokes and most importantly, just enjoying the true beauty of Mother Nature during The BSS School Coastal Trek organized by none other than Soma’s Camps.

Cycling Trip to Bakkhali

Aratrika Bhattacharya | 15 Jul 2018

After a four-hour train journey from Sealdah station to Namkhana station, we were finally ready to start our cycling trip. Soma’s camps had organised a cycling trip from Namkhana to the beaches of Bakkhali. It was a 2-hour ride starting from a starting point inside Namkhana where we would all be delivered our bicycles. After a jittery cart ride through the lanes of Namkhana, after a boat ride and another cart ride from there, we finally reached the starting point of our trip. 10 bicycles were hired by soma from the locals of the area and though they were not racing track material, they would do for the purpose. It was 12 in the afternoon by the time we started.

My Barsey Miracle With Soma’s Camps

Soma's Camps | 10 Jul 2018

Real life, however, is different from fiction, but it did spring a surprise lately, when I joined a trekking expedition with Soma’s Camps – to journey through the Rhododendron sanctuary of Barsey in the Singalila Range of the Himalayas. The range forms a natural border with Nepal in the West and is one of the most sought after trekking routes because of the views of the Mount Everest and the Kanchenjunga it offers.

Call from the Wild

Soma's Camps | 05 Jul 2018

Amidst all the chaos of work, career and ambitions we often lose track of the real adventures of life. In such a state we push hard to keep up, but fail to stand out. Being humans it’s very natural to feel down at times, but to reinforce ourselves is the hardest task, that is what I feel. Months back I was in the very same situation, running blindly in some stupid, aimless race, until I heard the call from the WILD.

Phalut Trek : Some Moments

Mishal Sanghvi | 14 Jun 2018

We live for too long and do many things over and over again. It is unlikely that we can recall in vivid detail, for example, each cricket game we played, or the start of each school term, or each movie … Continue reading “Phalut Trek : Some Moments”

The Mountains Are Calling, And I Must Go

Deepanwita Roy | 19 Apr 2018

Around the month of October just after the overwhelming Durga Pujas, Soma’s Camps organised a trek to Kheerganga in the Parvati valley region in Himachal Pradesh. To get out of the monotonous city life, this was my best opportunity. And … Continue reading “The Mountains Are Calling, And I Must Go”
