Imagine your child waking up to the misty forests of BR Hills, greeted with the rhythmic chants of tribal elders and the laughter of new friends from the Soliga community. Picture them tasting a traditional forest meal, learning to weave with natural fibers, grinding coffee by hand, and extracting wild honey—while connecting with nature on deep forest treks. They'll explore waterfalls, decode animal tracks, and ignite their curiosity in a hands-on science park. This isn’t just a trip—it’s a magical immersion into culture, ecology, innovation, and self-discovery. Give your child the gift of unforgettable learning, confidence, and wonder.

 

INTRODUCTION TO THE PROGRAM: This immersive two-day educational journey from Bangalore to BR Hills and Shivanasamudram is designed to introduce students to indigenous wisdom, eco-sustainability, and the wonders of biodiversity through direct experience and cultural exchange.
