About Educational Programs & Excursions
Why Step Out?
A lesson inside four walls is just a start. I’ve seen how students light up when they’re trekking through hills, getting muddy, or catching their first crab. These moments of nimmadhi (peace) and pure josh (energy) stick with them longer than any textbook fact. Real learning, for me, means bringing that spark back into education through outdoor experiences.
What We Do
- School programs go beyond the usual picnic. Students trek, explore caves, learn crabbing, and build skills you won’t find in a classroom.
- Team activities aren’t just games. They teach teamwork, push comfort zones, and include time to just breathe and be mindful.
- Nature-based educational trips and adventure skill development camps are core to our approach.
For Colleges
I don’t just talk theory. As someone running adventure travel, I give practical seminars on stuff like restoring mountain ecosystems and sustainable tourism. Students get to connect what they learn in class to what’s happening on the ground.
Workshops & Safety
- Guided treks in Namma Karnataka (Our Karnataka) where students learn about biodiversity and local history.
- Rock climbing at Badami, plus heritage tours for that mix of thrill and culture.
- Watersports weekends in Mulki, all logistics covered.
- All programs run by pros, with safety as non-negotiable.
Learning should be real, messy, and sometimes a little wild.

My Story
We’re Chethan and Abhinav, just two guys who love adventure and our Karnataka. That ‘climb that goddamn mountain’ line? That’s us. We started Monks on Wheels to show off our state’s magic, not just as a job, but because we care. We even do college talks about keeping our hills safe. What keeps our josh high? Seeing strangers turn into friends, solo travelers feeling at home, and everyone going home with mad stories.
