Highlights:
DETAILS:
Spanning 5 Saturdays, this trip can be experienced virtually from the comforts of schools/homes. On this trip, children will tour enthralling monuments, visit exciting landmarks and get acquainted with the rich Indian heritage. Besides being a culturally rich trip that gives children an orientation and appreciation of India, this program has been designed to build social, empathetic and leadership skills amongst children.
Students will have one-on-one interactions with schoolchildren in India enabling them to build meaningful connections beyond borders. They will also join a food bank charity that provides for underprivileged children. One student’s participation in this trip, contributes to 100 kids getting a meal each. Children will be able to spend time in the kitchens to see how the meals are made and packaged and then be part of the distribution drive where they will tangibly see the impact they are making.
The tour covers India's famed ‘Golden Triangle’ which includes the three most visited cities in the country's North-west - Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, roughly forming an equilateral triangle on a map. This triangle has been aptly been dubbed "golden" for the extraordinary wealth of cultural and historical splendour on offer in each of the three bustling cities. Jaipur, the capital of the desert state of Rajasthan, is home to magnificent forts and brims with some of Asia's best bazaars. You could spend weeks in Delhi, the sprawling, fascinating Indian capital, admiring the starkly different old and new parts of the city and yet not see it all, while Agra, once the heart of the Moghul empire, boasts of the unparalleled beauty of the Taj Mahal, a spectacular mausoleum adorning the banks of the Yamuna river.
The tour is conducted over five days starting at 9 am and ending at 3:00pm with each day comprising of a mix of live, interactive tours to exciting places and monuments in the Golden Triangle, informative talks and activity sessions.
