An educational trip was organized for all Grade 6 students to the Corbett Interpretation Centre, located at Dhangadi Gate in Ramnagar. The students, accompanied by their class teachers and checkers, boarded the bus in the morning with great excitement.

The journey began on a joyful note with students engaging in fun games and activities on the bus. The cheerful atmosphere set the tone for the day ahead. Upon arrival, the students enjoyed their lunch before diving into the educational part of the trip.

We were warmly welcomed and introduced to Mr. Deepankar Khulbe, a naturalist, by our esteemed Director, Mr. Anant Erickson. Mr. Khulbe guided us through the Corbett Interpretation Centre, where students explored various ecological zones including grasslands, woodlands, and wetlands.

One of the highlights was the “Feel the Music” zone, where students listened to realistic night- time sounds of animals in the forest, giving them a deeper understanding of jungle life. This was followed by the immersive “Feel the Jungle” experience, where the sounds of different birds could be heard by pressing buttons—an interactive and engaging way to learn about the wildlife.

The visit continued with a theatre session that provided detailed information about Jim Corbett and the Corbett Reserve area. Students also got the rare opportunity to see preserved animal foetuses and learn about the life cycles, habitats, and conservation efforts for various species.

After the enriching experience, the students boarded the bus and were safely transported back to the school.

Conclusion:

Overall, the trip was a great success. It not only provided students with an enjoyable outing but also enriched their knowledge about wildlife, ecology, and conservation in an interactive and memorable manner.
