Educational Tour
We went for an Educational Tour for 5 days starting from 27th May, 2024 (Monday) to 31st May, 2024 (Friday). We went to Coorg, Chikmagalur and Belur. Rana Ma'am, Aby Sir and Sister Monica accompanied us in our tour. We started from Adoor at 4:30 p.m. and reached Edapally at 9:30 p.m. for dinner.
On Day 2 (28th May), by 8 a.m. we had reached Hotel Gateway Inn, at Coorg. We had breakfast and went to Harangi Elephant Camp. Later we visited Harangi Dam and then went for lunch. We also got to visit the Golden Temple (Tibetan Monastery) which helped us know more about Buddhism. Last spot for the day was the Bamboo forest (Nisargadhama) which had a hanging bridge at the entrance, lush bamboo groves, tree houses and bird park. We also got to do a lot of shopping that day. We had dinner and stayed at the hotel.
On Day 3 (29th May), we checked out from the hotel and started from Coorg by 5:50 a.m. We reached Chikmagalur and had breakfast from J.K. Homestay. Then we went for Jeep trekking and visited the Siri Statue and Honnammana Falls. Climbing the peaks of Baba Budangiri was a breathtaking experience. The view of mist clad hills, the cool breeze and the climb was something one must experience. We also visted the cave shrine in Baba Budangiri which is a sacred place for both Hindus and Muslims. After lunch we went to Mullayanagiri and Z point. By 6:30 p.m. we reached our homestay and had dinner at 8 p.m. There was also a campfire at 11 p.m. We stayed at the homestay that day.
Day 4 (30th May) was the last day for visiting places and shopping. We had breakfast at 8:30 a.m. and checked out of the homestay, moving to Belur. We visited the Chennakeshava Temple in Belur. Later we went for water activities like kayaking, banana ride, rafting and speed boating. We had lunch at 1 p.m. and started our journey back to college by 2:30 p.m. By 9 p.m. we had reached Wayanad and had dinner from there.
On Day 5 (31st May) we reached Adoor, after the beautiful tour, at 8:30 a.m. Our parents and families had come to receive us. That was the last day of an amazing journey. We had some health issues during the journey but we managed to overcome them with the consistent support of our teachers and friends. It was a memorable tour.
