FIELD VISIT@ THENAMALA

       Our college has organised a Field Trip to Thenmala Ecotourism as part of the BEd curriculum on 25 Feb 2022. Field Trips are essential to deepen social and historical knowledge, to develop critical thinking skills and to supplement classroom instructions. Thenmala is a tourist destination in the eastern side of Kollam district in Kerala, India.

 We met at the MT theatre at 7:30 am. There were 2 buses for the 1st years and the 2nd years. We set out for the journey at 7:45 am. We went for the trip with four teachers, two non-teaching staffs and 106 teacher trainees. The 1st years and the 2nd years were divided as 2 groups. The 1st years went to visit the Thenmala Adventure zone and the 2nd years went for the boating at Shendurney Wildlife Sanctuary with each group consisting of 1 teachers and a non- teaching staff.

 It was a very nice experience for us. First we walked through an elevated walkway which was a little frenzied task as the walkway was shaking as we moves on. There were various adventurous activities such as Boating, River crossing, Aerial Net walk, Balancing Planks, Valley crossing, Flying Fox and Trampoline. 

By 1pm we left the adventurous zone and went to the Deer Rehabilitation Centre. Here we saw many Sambar deer, Spotted deer and Barking deer.

 After the lunch we went for the boating in the Shendurney Wildlife Sanctuary at 3pm and our seniors left for the adventure zone. Boating was a wonderful experience. We were divided into 3 groups and each group went in separate boats. The sound of the birds, music and the wave of the waters makes it a more interesting experience.

        We left the Shendurney Wildlife Sanctuary by 4pm. Both the groups gathered at the parking slot of the Kulathupuzha Sastha Temple to have the tea and snacks. After the tea we set out to home. The buses reached Pothencode by 7pm.
