Quietly yet confidently, a group of trekking enthusiasts has been positively impacting the state's fragile forest ecosystems. By organizing treks, the passionate group, which calls itself ITREK, not only explores the state's breathtaking landscapes but also works tirelessly to conserve them.

Their efforts also extend to supporting the tribal communities that depend on the forests, providing them crucial assistance in the form of medical treatment, housing and education.

"From humble beginnings in Thiruvananthapuram late in 2020, we have now grown into a statewide network of over 500 members in the age group of 18 to 75," said Suresh Sam Chandy, founder, ITREK.
