Udaipur & Chittorgarh: Beauty and Bravery
These marvelous historic cities resonate with the stories of honor and valor of Mewar Rajputs, whose battle cries can still be felt and heard at Haldighati.
With respect to India’s ascendancy in scientific innovation, ISRO’s Sriharikota High Altitude Range is the location for students to delve into what goes into the planning, execution, and implementation of India’s space program. Moreover, Chennai is a large metropolis with rich cultural heritage. Rooted in British colonial past and bustling maritime trade, Chennai offers a combination of tradition and modernity in one homogeneous space. The union territory of Puducherry, once again, provides a glimpse into French colonist rule and practice of ancient meditation techniques, now being acclaimed at the global level.
A guided and interactive tour of the ISRO facility at Sriharikota lets students gain an in-depth understanding of India’s accomplishments in outer space exploration. Besides learning about its coveted history, the visitors will also get a chance to know the developments made in the present decade and what has been envisioned for the future.
Visiting Chennai’s major landmarks such as Marina Beach and San Thome Cathedral will enlighten the students about the region’s history and cultural traditions. Further, students will be able to study different aspects of ancient temple architecture at Mahabalipuram. By visiting Auroville in Puducherry, students will be able to observe the practice of Supramental Yoga as popularised by Sri Aurobindo.

Any student of your school in the age group of 7-17years (Class II- XII) is welcome to join this program provided the child faces no serious medical conditions which may be difficult to address satisfactorily during the journey. Also, any adult who is not a member of the school staff or management is not allowed to join the school group.
As teachers are the legally appointed guardians of the students for the entire course of the journey, it is advisable that the selected teacher/s are experienced and have the capacity to address issues related to student safety, well-being and behavior. Physical fitness and travel experience are added advantage as most programs are fast-paced and hectic.
The accepted industry practice is of 1 adult per 10 students (1:10).
Underpinning each EdTerra journey is the concern to address student safety at all levels. Being an ISO 9001: 2008 company, EdTerra complies with globally accepted standards for efficient processes, including rigorous safety standards.
The accompanying EdTerra Journey Mentor provides daily updates on the EdTerra Facebook page (like us at edterraindia), along with photographs of the day’s activities for parents to keep a track of the journey progress. Parents are also provided with contact details of the hotels where students will be staying during the journey. The school may permit students to carry their mobiles or share the number of the lead teacher.
On account of student safety, EdTerra does not allow any child to meet/visit any relatives during the journey. For every EdTerra journey the rule is simple, you move out of your school/city as a group and you return as a group.
EdTerra provides wholesome and hygienic food during the journey. An ample variety of local cuisine is provided as a part of the travel experience.
Depending on the location and time/season of travel, EdTerra will provide an exhaustive to-pack list, enabling students to pack appropriately for the journey.
Depending upon the program selected, distance from home city and duration of the program, overnight travel may be considered as an option for travel to/ from the destination.
EdTerra journeys operate on a minimum group size of 30 paying pax, and multiples thereof.
"EdTerra is an education company. The entire US Edventure was a testimony to their commitment... Such an inspirational journey!"
