Our first day began with a visit to various waterfalls in Munnar. The cascading streams amidst the picturesque landscapes left us in awe. Munnar is renowned for its tea plantations. We explored the sprawling tea estates, witnessing the meticulous process of tea cultivation and plucking.The thrilling jeep safari through the rugged terrain allowed us to immerse ourselves in the natural beauty of Munnar. The mist-covered hills and winding roads added to the excitement. After an eventful day, we arrived at our resort. The evening was filled with relaxation and camaraderie. The resort’s pool provided a refreshing escape. We splashed around, enjoying the cool water, gathered around the campfire, we shared stories and bonded with fellow students. A sumptuous dinner awaited us, followed by a comfortable night’s rest.
Leaving Munnar behind, we returned to Kochi for an insightful day of industrial visit.We started our day with an industrial visit to Infopark, a hub for IT companies. It was fascinating to see the modern workspaces and technological advancements.We enjoyed a hearty lunch, discussing our newfound knowledge.We explored the historic Fort Kochi, marvelling at its colonial architecture, ancient churches, and the iconic Chinese fishing nets. A leisurely walk along Marine Drive allowed us to soak in the views of the backwaters and the bustling cityscape.
In the evening, we boarded a DJ water cruise, dancing to lively tunes as the boat glided through the serene waters. Our final stop was Lulu Mall, one of India’s largest shopping centers. We browsed through a variety of stores, picking up souvenirs and memories.
As the day wound down, we had dinner before embarking on our journey back to Mangalore. We bid farewell to Kochi and boarded our bus back to the Talapady Toll Gate. The winding roads took us through lush plantations and sleepy villages. Reflecting on our educational tour, we realized that travel is a powerful teacher. It exposes us to diverse cultures, history, and geography. It fosters friendships and broadens our perspectives.
The educational tour to Kannur and Kochi was more than a trip; it was a journey of discovery.
