Class III's Exploration of Kanheri Caves

The Class III trip to Sanjay Gandhi National Park was an extraordinary experience, enriching students’ knowledge of geology, history, and culture. Situated within the park, the Kanheri Caves provided the perfect backdrop for a day filled with exploration and discovery.

The majestic caves, carved from basalt rock, introduced students to ancient Indian architecture and Buddhist heritage. Guided by our faculty, the children learned about the caves’ historical significance.

In addition to the historical aspects, the natural environment of the national park captivated the students. The interconnectedness between nature and human history became evident as the children explored how the caves were carved using tools available in ancient times.

Along with the culmination of their 1st unit, the students kicked off the next unit 'Sharing the Planet' by exploring the Biodiversity Hot Spot Museum nestled within the park. The museum served as a captivating introduction to the importance of conservation and inspired our students to think critically about their role in protecting our planet.

The trip helped to instill in our learners, a sense of curiosity and responsibility towards heritage and the environment. The children left with a deeper understanding of India's rich cultural past and its connection to the natural world.
