Celebrating its first anniversary, it has set a benchmark in eco-tourism with plans to expand and engage educational institutions in experiential learning.

Trek Tamil Nadu, a trailblazing initiative in eco-tourism, has marked its first year with a commendable increase in trekking activity, particularly in the Yelagiri-Swamimalai circuit, which attracted 2,209 participants.
