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.
India is respected world over for its culture of tolerance and the hospitality it extends to its guests. Dharamsala is probably one of the best enduring examples of Indian cultural strength of not just offering shelter but embracing a set of people displaced from their land. In Dharamsala, nestled in the Kangra Valley of Himachal, lies the refuge for the Tibetan government in exile and Dharamsala’s suburb, McLeodganj, serves as the abode of the Dalai Lama in India.
Dharamsala is also known as ‘Little Lhasa’. The beautiful abode of Tibetan Buddhism offers students a chance to visit the spiritual centers of Buddhist culture that the Tibetan people have established here. This serene journey also exposes students to the philosophy that guides Buddhism, and provides an introduction to the dynamic Tibetan people – their culture, lifestyle, arts and crafts.

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!"

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.
Students explore the impressions that Rajput Rule (specifically Sawai Jai Singh II) imprinted on the city of Jaipur and on Rajasthani artistic tradition.
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.
