Bengaluru, Mysore and Ooty together surprise you with ecological proliferation, which is evident in their well-maintained Botanical Gardens. Also, Bengaluru and Mysore are indispensable to South Indian history. They offer a peak into the Kingdom of Mysore, from the Wadiyar Dynasty to the period of Tipu Sultan’s reign. Ooty’s significance as the Queen of Hill Stations keeps it at the top of the list of many a Southern sojourn.
The Southern Triangle allows students to discover the important palaces and forts of the Wadiyar Dynasty. They learn about Tipu Sultan’s role in the Mysore Kingdom as a master administrator and a pioneer in the use of rocket artillery. Lastly, the journey offers an enlightening exploration into ecological richness. Botanical Gardens of Bengaluru alone house the largest known Cotton Silk tree and a 20 million year old fossil tree along with many indigenous and foreign flora.

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.
