Description :
One of the best memory, we carry of our school life is certainly the school trips, outings, and picnics which were full of fun and learning.
The students of grades six to eight at the HDFC School, Gurgaon went on a school trip to Amritsar. A trip to this enchanting city is bound to leave you in absolute awe. Draped in rich history, culture, and traditions, Amritsar is one of the holiest pilgrimage sites for Sikhs across the world. The bustling streets, the aroma of food cooking in the open-air kitchens, and strains of devotional music embraced us as we entered the city.
The students visited The Harmandir Sahib, the famous Golden Temple. It boasts of stunning architecture, the dome on the upper section is gilded with about 100 kilograms of pure gold, which gives the temple its name.
The visit to Wagah Border shall remain in memories forever. The flag-lowering ceremony that takes place every evening where soldiers from India and Pakistan try to outdo one another as the crowds cheer on, is accompanied by an interactive patriotic session. Playing the National Anthem is the best part of the day and is enough to fill anyone with great pride. This is an experience not to be missed.
At Jallianwala Bagh Bullet marks on the garden, and walls are a testimony to the barbarity of an act that took 379 lives. The garden also encloses a well where many people including children jumped to save themselves from being shot.
The visit to Pushpa Gujral Science City was fun and dedicated to learning. The flight simulator, earthquake simulator ad Laser shows were a big hit among the students.
School trips provide children an opportunity to come out from the confines and groom themselves to get ready to face the challenges of life alone.
