This journey takes students into the heart of South India’s greatest empires—Vijayanagara and Chalukya. Through temples, markets, monuments, museums, and interactive activities, learners discover how ancient cities were built, how people lived, and how art, trade, and stories shaped kingdoms. From the Stone Chariot to cave temples, each day blends history with exploration. Reflection circles, scavenger hunts, and guided heritage walks turn the trip into a hands-on learning experience that connects culture, architecture, and mythology in unforgettable ways.
