SICC: National Trip 2018

“Travelling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” – Ibn Battuta

Travelling gives a new dimension to life, it opens the mind rejuvenates the soul and overhauls the life mechanism. The students of SAI International College of Commerce went on a 7-day adventure and leisure tour to the picturesque Shimla-Manali-Chandigarh from October 10 – 17, 2018.

The journey

Day one was mostly travelling from Bhubaneshwar to New Delhi and then to Shimla. They reached Shimla early morning of the second day, after checking into the hotel and after relaxing a bit they went for sightseeing to Indian Institute of Advanced Studies, post lunch and also to the Christ Church in Mall Road. While on the third day they went to Kufri and the Jakhu Temple. Day four was a day travel to Manali. At Manali students went for sightseeing including Hadimba Temple, Old Manali, Naggar and Mall Road etc after the tiring day they enjoyed the DJ program at the hotel. Manali trip would have been incomplete without visiting the Rohtang Pass and the Solan Valley. The most adventurous and thrilling experience of the trip came, when the students did aerial river crossing over River Beas and visited Rohtang Pass on the eastern Pir Pranjal Range of the Himalayas around 50 kms in the mountainous tracks.

On Day 6 they reached Chandigarh and visited the famous Rock Garden, Sukhna Lake, Pinjore Garden and Elente Mall and put their head down at the DJ night in the Hotel. The last day was reserved for Delhi and they visited few places like Qutub Minar and Lotus Temple. The trip brought the students closer to the pristine natural beauty of the Himalayas.

The Excursion was the monotony breaker from the daily routine of the students. They came back with invigorated spirits and enlivened mind.
