Secondary School Trips

Rishikesh is in the state of Uttarakhand, and in the foothills of the Garhwal Himalayas. Our hotel, on the banks of the River Ganga, oversaw some of the most stunning views in India. Here, we witnessed the Ganga Arathi ceremony, and were entertained by some local folk dance performances. We also visited the Lakshman Jhula and Neer Garh waterfalls, and spent a day rafting and swimming in the River Ganga. Before heading to our second stop, we all enjoyed some extreme sports including bungee jumping, giant swinging and gliding from a three person flying fox!

En route to Delhi, we spent a day at Jim Corbett National Park, 150 kms from Rishikesh, to do some animal-sighting. Early in the morning, we jumped into Jeeps to witness many amazing animals in their natural habitat.  These included elephants, deer, bison and a huge variety of birds such as peacocks, parakeets, the great Indian Hornbill and vultures. Sadly for us, the illusive tiger remained so. 

After a day of travel, we arrived in New Delhi, 240 kms from the park. Here, we visited the Qutub Minar where we were treated to the gorgeous Mughal architecture. We also visited the Kingdom of Dreams, a live theatre. It also had an indoor themed art and crafts boulevard that showcased architecture as well as decor from various states across India. From here, we flew back to Bangalore after four fun-filled days.

"I had a life changing experience in Wayanad. It was a short and comfortable trip. The rooms were incredible and the food was scrumptious. We had so many memorable experiences like the exhilarating obstacle course, and the amazing zip-line and pool. We also learnt a lot. We went to Asia's largest earth dam as well as a wildlife safari. We also took a walk through Wayanad on our way to the Edakkal caves where we could see carvings from the Stone Age. Wayanad was undoubtedly one of the best experiences of my life and one that I will never forget."

"My trip to Wayanad was a memorable one. We travelled to many exotic locations in the city while learning about unusual objects and new innovations. The safety of the students was the supervisor's number one concern, and she did a fantastic job of making sure that everyone felt included and had a great time. It was among the best trips I have taken."

"Exploring Wayanad was a true adventure! From lush hikes to discovering hidden waterfalls, every moment was a treasure of nature's beauty. Memories of that trip always bring a smile and a longing for more outdoor escapades."
