Fun, Learn and Immerse - Kids' Day out at Hindol Farm

-

Kids grow full of inquisitiveness having a sense of wonder. Their innocent minds have tons of questions, many rooted with deeper ideas. However, in our educational system most of the time either they are suppressed to ask or not created a conducive environment where they are nurtured to ask questions. 



When they are your travel companions provide them with the opportunities to unless the questions that flow through their minds, allow them to share their experiences unconditionally. It is not important the quality of the questions that they ask or the quality of the experience that they share, but it is essential to nurture the questioning skills, even though they appear to us illogical. 




Travel Sarna not only have a strong belief in educational tourism for kids but is also determined to implement it.  



Here is a travel story of our recently conducted tour to a farm in the dense forest of Hindol Range in Upland Odisha. 



Kanha (Shrehyansh) and (Dudul) Shiv Shailesh, both students of class 3 in Bhubaneswar had an opportunity for a day out to the farm.  Here are their experiences - fun, learn and immerse. 



It is unfortunate that many of us who are concerned about travel only talk about serious content or share experiences that do not include kids. However, kids are an integral part of travel. Apart from having fun, kids learn a lot about life's lessons, biodiversity, cultural issues in informal settings.

However, on a sunny post-monsoon October afternoon, we were thrilled to sight territorial fights among crocodiles in the dangerous creek waters of Bhitarkanika. In the breeding season for saltwater crocodiles, competition among the female for territory is not only intense but also violent. Saltwater crocodiles are the most territorial among all crocodile species. Adults are particularly intolerant of other adults and this territoriality is displayed by both male and female crocodiles.     The territory size of female crocodiles is smaller, about one km in radius associated with nesti...

Slow travel brings you closer to nature and its rhythm, not necessarily it is always spectacular sceneries, but humble actions that are filled with stories and learning.   You become a child filled with curiosity to know how nature works.

You find them in a cluster extracting salt from the floor while in a jungle track.  Watch here:
