The Gujarat Trip

The Gujarat trip has been one of the best trips of our life. We left home and gathered at the school by 11:30 PM. From there, we took a bus and arrived in Mumbai by 4 AM, from where we boarded a train to Vadodara.

Upon arriving in Vadodara at ten in the morning, we headed straight to the Laxmi Vilas Palace. Inside the palace, there was an impressive collection of armour and weaponry, which was supposedly also used by Shivaji Maharaj. The palace also featured many statues made with Italian marble.

After an insightful visit to the palace, we headed to our hotel for lunch. Afterwards, we visited the Sayaji Baug Zoo and were amazed to spot lions, tigers, monkeys, and leopards. We also explored the bird aviary where we observed a variety of beautiful birds.

On the second day of our journey, we visited the Baroda Museum, where we admired a gigantic exhibit of jewellery. We also spotted the largest Mandala art piece in the museum, along with countless pots and numerous statues. We also visited the Statue of Unity, where our guide informed us that its height is 93 metres. The visit was both interesting and insightful. On the third day of our journey, we enjoyed exploring the car museum, which featured many vintage cars.

This trip was one of the best experiences of our lives because we had a lot of fun with our friends. We would like to thank EdTerra Edventures for organising such a wonderful trip.
