 STUDY TOUR

DATE: 03/04/2025 - 08/04/2025

A study tour serves as a valuable tool to broaden knowledge, sharpen observational skills, and bridge the gap between theoretical learning and real-world application. Sabarigiri College of Education organized a vibrant and enriching study tour designed to offer students a unique blend of educational exposure, adventure, and cultural discovery. The tour aimed to rejuvenate students, foster peer bonding, and immerse them in the natural beauty, historical richness, and cultural heritage of Karnataka. With thoughtfully chosen destinations such as Coorg, Chikmagalur, Belur, and Udupi, the journey offered a perfect mix of sightseeing, adventure, and spiritual exploration—making it a truly memorable highlight of the academic year.




      Day 1 (03/04/2025)

Our much-anticipated field trip commenced on the 3rd of April, 2025. As planned, all students and teachers assembled at the college by 2:00 PM. The tour coordinator, Mr. Arjun, ensured that all the essential items and documents required for the journey were ready and in order.
We began our journey promptly at 3:00 PM. Some students joined us from various points along the route, including Punalur, Pathanapuram, and Pathanamthitta. The first leg of the trip was filled with excitement and enthusiasm. Around evening, we paused at Ranni for a tea break, where everyone refreshed themselves before continuing the journey.
The atmosphere on the bus was lively. Students played music and danced, setting a joyful tone for the trip. Day 1 was primarily a travel day, allowing us to enjoy the camaraderie and scenic views along the way.
By 10:00 PM, we stopped at Angamaly for dinner. After dinner, we watched a movie on the bus, and by the end of it, most of us settled into a sleepy mood. Our overnight journey took us through several districts of Kerala, offering glimpses of the state's natural beauty.
On the morning of April 4th, by around 5:00 AM, we reached Wayanad Churam. The winding roads, gentle breeze, and early morning chill created a magical experience. We were even fortunate to spot a group of deer along the roadside, adding a touch of wilderness to our adventure.
