Bengaluru, Mysore and Ooty: The Southern Triangle
The Southern Triangle is your ticket to explore the history of the Wadiyar Dynasty and all the way down to the reign of Tipu Sultan.
Nowhere else in India is ancient history so accessible to students. Sanchi and Bhimbetka are two of the most famous UNESCO World Heritage Sites. And while the Sanchi Stupa, which was commissioned by King Ashoka, takes you back to the Mauryan Empire, the caves of Bhimbetka show a glimpse of the Stone Age. Even Bhopal, which is known as the City of Lakes has its roots in history dating back to 1,000 AD. Bhopal is also a testimony to common people enduring one of the worst man-made disasters in human history.
Whether it is a perspective of what an ancient Indian civilization was like or exploring the story- telling caves of Bhimbetka, or marveling at the Stupas of Sanchi, the journey offers students a unique experience of their Indian roots. On this journey students travel through time discovering Stone Age culture through cave paintings and the great Stupas of Lord Buddha whose architecture teaches them the basic human values through the depictions of Jataka Tales.

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!"
