Jaipur & Jodhpur

www.edterra.com

EdTerra's journey to Jaipur and Jodhpur is entitled simply, Impressions, which has several meanings in this case. We will explore with students the impression that Rajput rule (and more specifically Sawai Jai Singh II) had on the cities of Jaipur and Jodhpur, but we will also explore our own impressions of Rajasthan's rich culture as well as the impressions left on Rajasthani culture by heritage crafts such as puppetry making.

Students will engage in various fun and interesting educational activities throughout the journey which will not only test their existing knowledge, but allow them to learn for themselves through exploration and through asking well thought-out questions and searching for the answers to them.

Amritsar-Dharamsala

At the same time it exposes the students to the beautiful Sikh philosophy and the sense of parity that it promotes. Dharamsala on the other hand is the beautiful abode of Tibetan Buddhism. Students visit the spiritual centre and also get an exposure to Buddhist art and craft along with an interaction with Tibetan students from the Tibetan Children�s Village School.
