Why a Circle?
Some people walk with us once. Many keep coming back — third treks, fifth treks, birthdays in the mountains. The Circle is our way of honouring them: an inner community of people who don’t just join experiences, but belong to the journey. We are shaping it slowly, with the people it’s meant for — and this is the intention we’re building toward.
What the Circle will hold
Dates open to the Circle before anywhere else — and members shape which experiences run next.
A short gathering every month — in person in Vizag or on a call — so the bonds don’t go cold between trails.
Recces, exploration trips and small members-only departures that never reach the public calendar.
Clean-ups, tree walks and work alongside the village teams — giving back to the places that host us.
Learning evenings with our certified leads — outdoor safety, navigation, photography, first aid.
Long-time members are named, featured and first in line for volunteer and team roles.
Who it’s for
Returning trekkers. Volunteers, past and present. Friends of the Eastern Ghats who share our respect for the land and the communities who live on it. If you’ve walked with us and felt it, the Circle is already partly yours.
Until then, the fire is on WhatsApp
Our community already lives in one place — the EcoHikes WhatsApp Community, where dates, stories and meetups land first. Join in, and you’ll be the first to know when the Circle opens.
