Jim Corbett with Nainitaal: Nature’s Bounty
The oldest national park of India, made famous by the tales of its man-eating tigers, holds myriad lessons for the nature lovers and thrill seekers.
The Sisodia clan of Rajputs ruled Mewar and Chittorgarh was initially their capital. It was eventually shifted to Udaipur by Maharana Udai Singh. The Kingdom of Mewar became part of Rajasthan in independent India. Apart from its historical relevance, Udaipur has emerged as a popular tourist destination known for its Rajput- era palaces, especially the marvelous Lake Palace that occupies an entire island on the lake.
This journey covers the history of the Kingdom of Mewar and most significantly, the story of Maharana Pratap – the man who made Rajput clan synonymous with bravery. Students visit the famed Haldighati Battleground where Maharana Pratap stood up to the numerically and technologically superior Mughal army. The Haldighati Museum offers them a unique opportunity to relive the battle. Lastly, Udaipur’s Lake Palace and other forts offer a marvelous lesson in Rajput architecture.

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.
