About Us
Creating thoughtful experiences & learning journeys
We aim to grow a generation of self-assured, compassionate young folks who trust themselves. In community, and in life’s unknowns.
At Young Soul Tales, we don’t see children as projects; they don’t need to be made ready. They just need conditions to become themselves. Sometimes in the rush to make them “ready,” we tend to take away their capacity to trust themselves. We exist to give that back.
Founder's Story
The seed for Young Soul Tales was planted on a quiet trek in the Himalayas. Watching my daughter, Aarya, find her footing on uneven ground, I saw something shift, not just in her steps, but in her spirit.
It wasn’t the landscape alone that changed her, but the challenges, the stillness, the shared laughter along the trail. That’s when I realised: real learning doesn’t happen inside walls, but in the open where life itself becomes the teacher.
Young Soul Tales grew from that moment of seeing a space for young souls to journey outward and inward, building resilience, empathy, and a deeper connection with themselves and the world.

The Journey so far
From a single spark, Young Soul Tales has grown into a living community of young explorers. What began as a few adventures in the wild has become a tapestry of journeys, each crafted to meet young minds where they are.
Along the way, we’ve seen subtle shifts take root: a quiet confidence, a renewed curiosity, a deeper sense of purpose.
Our work continues to be guided by one belief that when young people are given space to explore and be seen, they discover who they’re meant to become.
Values
Guiding Principles at the Heart of Our Journey
-
Fostering a Supportive Community
We create a safe and inclusive environment where every child feels valued, respected, and empowered to be their authentic selves. Our programs are built on mutual support, encouragement, and a shared sense of belonging.
-
Encouraging Self-Discovery
We believe every child possesses unique strengths, talents, and passions waiting to be uncovered. Through challenges, reflection, and supportive mentorship, we empower young minds to explore their potential and embrace their individuality.
-
Promoting Environmental Stewardship
We instill a deep love and respect for nature through immersive experiences in the great outdoors. Our programs foster environmental awareness and inspire action toward preserving our planet for future generations.
-
Cultivating Global Citizenship
We believe in the power of travel to broaden perspectives and foster cross-cultural understanding. Our programs create opportunities for young people to engage with diverse cultures, develop empathy, and become responsible global citizens.
The Difference
Why YST?
Young Soul Tales is designed for growth, not performance. Our programs are built with intention, shaped by the belief that young people flourish when they are seen, not measured.
Designed against competition
Every activity invites collaboration, instead of comparison. Because awareness matters more than winning.
Prioritizing depth
Small cohorts, unhurried journeys, and open pauses make space for reflection and real connection. Not every hour in our itinerary is planned because learning happens in the pauses.
We welcome the unfinished
We don't rush anyone to “achieve” something by week’s end. Opting out is met with understanding while we talk about uncertainty, confusion, and not-knowing; the real terrain of growth.
Communities that lasts
We nurture year-round touchpoints: reunions, online circles, and spaces for parents to keep learning too.
More than a team, we’re companions in discovery. Each of us at Young Soul Tales brings curiosity, compassion, and care to every experience we create.

Chief Inspiration Officer
Aarya’s own journey of growth through adventure inspired the heart of Young Soul Tales. Her love for nature, creative spirit, and belief in learning beyond comfort zones continue to shape every experience we create.
