An educational tour cum picnic to Daakpathhar and Gurudwara Paonta Sahib was organised by the school for the students of classes V to VIII on 20.10.22.
Brimming with enthusiasm and anticipation, students boarded the buses and left for Daakpathhar around 9:45AM.
It was a comfortable & enjoyable journey with picturesque landscape on the way.
The buses reached Daakpathhar around 11:30 where the students enjoyed themselves in the park. The snacks were distributed to them & they had fun and photo session. Thereafter, it was time to leave for Paonta Sahib, so the students boarded the buses and with their spirits soaring high with refreshed vigour , singing and playing games among themselves, while enjoying the ride.
The students were shown the Asan barrage and the Bird sanctuary . they were excited and inquisitive to see the migratory birds and asked several questions also about them which the teachers answered with equal fervor .
It was about 45 minutes journey to Paonta Sahib from there.
The children marvelled at the majestic view of the Gurudwara located in the vicinity along the banks of Yamuna river. They were brimming with quest about the river and its origin as well as the Gurudwara itself. Once inside the Gurudwara, the children prayed and worshipped there and proceeded to join the Langar which they enjoyed tremendously. Some of the students carried out Langar Seva of their own accord, reflecting their community service aptitude which was heartening for the teachers to witness.
It was now time for them to start the journey back which they did a little after 4 o’ clock. Still not exhausted, the children enjoyed the bus journey singing songs and playing puzzles. In all it was a very educative and refreshing trip.
