JIRS planned a student’s
trip to West Sikkim from 15th July to 22nd July from
Bangalore to Bagdogra consisting of 33 students. The trip was in association
with “ENVIRO TRIP” the professional
Duke of Edinburgh Team.
Sikkim is an amazing
nature bounty in abundance. The high mountain terrain & trekking experience
in Sikkim was a life time experience with temperature ranging from a high of 380C
to a very low temperature of 80C and very challenging mountain trekking.
This extraordinary trip
was filled with a wide range of experiences from a small village Rinchenpong to
Farm House stays, Community Service, Farming, Monastery, Interaction with
Tribes, Monks and Local people. The children then witnessed majestic Kanchenjunga mountains range with
a fascinating clear view. We were fortunate to travel to The Indian Chinese
border from Gangtok to Nathula Pass a very sensitive defence area at a height
of 14,140 ft.
It was indeed an LIFE
LEARNING EXPERIENCE for all.
