Set against the rich natural backdrop of the Western Ghats, students dive into geological exploration at ancient caves, witness hydrological engineering at Supa Dam, and reflect on the delicate balance of forest ecosystems during immersive nature walks and safaris. Whether documenting rock formations at Senthil Rock, analysing force and motion during ziplining, or observing biodiversity in action, each moment is guided by a clear academic lens.

 

Introduction to the Program

This immersive journey takes students from the classrooms of Bangalore into the vibrant wilderness of Dandeli, Karnataka. Through nature walks, cave explorations, and adventure activities, students will experience real-world applications of science, geography, and environmental studies—while building teamwork, confidence, and a lifelong love for learning.
