REFLECTION

NAINITAL
TRAVELLING EXPERIENCE

8:00 pm ,porbandar - Rajkot express, a sleeper class, when I first

saw it was like a nightmare. I had never travelled in a non-ac train
before. We were standing in the queue to board the train. It was
very dirty and we were not sure if all of us could get proper seats.
Wether our journey will be as safe and fun as we imagined. But
once we were on the train in a minute with a little bit of chaos all
the friends and teachers were together and we had already
started enjoying and thinking that if the start was so exciting than
the whole trip will be such fun. We had our dinner and slept late
that night.
Next day some people boarded the train. At first sight we were
afraid of them but actually they were very helpful to us. We had
to change our trains within 2 mins but it became really easy for us
with the co-ordination with one another and we boarded the train
within 30 sec. a little disturbance occurred due to some locals
which created a little bit of fear amongst us and we couldnt sleep
peacefully that night. During the night one more difficulty we
faced was the dinner for us was exactly half than that we had
ordered but we shared it among ourselves and felt that a little
less was even better.
Next morning we reached kathgodam at 5 am. We started
travelling by bus, enjoying the beauty of Himalayas. On our way
back we had to wait at a station for 8 hrs we all were very hungry
and our teachers went out to bring something to eat for us. They

gave us many food packets and we all sat together and relished
it, it was very delicious. This experience changed my perception
about people travelling journey, team work and time

management.

STAY EXPERIENCE

Our stay at nainital was scheduled at Shervani hill top a very

luxurious hotel we were freezing but warmed up by hot coffee.
After, we were allotted just 5 rooms instead of 10 so we ere 9
peoplein one room instead of 4 but we enjoyed a lot. We were
served delicious dinner and then we had karaoke where we saw a
singer in our lead learners that is sarvashreshth sir and jaydeep
sir. The hotel was surrounded by beauiful garderns and it also had
an amazing clubhouse where we enjoyed to our fullest.
Our next stay was at jucasso resort Corbett where there was an
amazing play ground wnd the cottages were also very good. We
were happier when we got to know that the stars of movie kaal
had stayed in this resort .it was near river kosi and the manager
told us that during the uttarakhand floods much part of the resort
was damaged. It was between the jungle and we were warned not
to leave in the night. Many of us were scared and few started
crying so we decided to stay all 9 in one room which was very
scary and amazing. In the washroom we did not get hot water and
we had to bath in chilling water in a low temperature. I
experienced that small sized rooms brought us more closer and
that we all can fight fear when we are together.

SHERVANI HILLTOP - NAINITAL

TREKKING EXPERIENCE

According to the itenary we had 2 treks , first one was to Tiffin top
but as I wasnt well on that day I and one of my friends stayed at
the hotel . After when my friends came back they told that the
trek was a bit tiring but was an amazing experience. Then I
realized that I had missed something really very good which was
worth all the pains. the next day we had the trek to china peak
which was double higher than Tiffin top but then our lead learners
cancelled the trek because of our low stamina and instead of that
they planned Himalaya darshan . Even on that day I was not
well but I didnt want to miss may be the last trek with my friends.
At that time I had the attitude of come may what, I wont give up
and so did I prove myself. And that trek may be was one the wow
moments for me. I enjoyed it thoroughly and of course now I can
fight my physical weaknesses. I also got to know that we can do
anything even when not well only if we are determined to do so.

SHOPPING EXPERIENCE

Shopping has always been a pleasure. And obviously girls are

obsessed with shopping and so are I. shopping with friends
without parents was a great experience. We had to go around
anywhere we wanted to by ourselves our teachers had told us to

meet at a place after three hours. I with my 8 other friends

started to roam and shopping. For the first time in my life I argued
with the shopkeeper to bargain and I succeeded in doing so. After
we were done with shopping we went for boating and that was a
very unique, soothing and peaceful experience in itself. We were
in the heart of nainital the Naini Lake from where we were able to
see the very beautiful Himalayas.

JUNGLE SAFARI - CORBETT

It was freezing there and we had to get up at 4:00 am and reach

at the reception before 6:00 am . it was very cold there and we
were all very sleepy as we were up till 2:45 am so we had almost
no sleep . we departed for national park and then after reaching
there we were shifted into the open gypsies . and in there the
gypsy driver was driving very fast thus, we were feeling very
cold . but we all bared that chilling temperatures as we were

excited to see tigers . suddenly we saw the footprints of the tiger

so our curiosity starts to increase and the patience started to
decrease . we were all hoping to see tiger but we were unable to
see even one . we were all very disheartened but then to we
enjoyed the jungle safari with friends . we were all very hungry so
after reaching our resort we pounced upon food . but one thing I
noticed was that all of our hope of seeing a tiger never died .

RIVER CROSSING
This was the actual wow moment of our trip . who would have
ever thought that we all would have crossed almost more than
half river where the flow is very rapid ,where the ground is full of
pebbles , where the surface is very slippery , where you always a
fear of falling and flowing away with the river . this for me was
something unimaginable , something unbelievable
I was really proud of myself . and one more unbelievable thing
that happened was that I had held moss in my hand . this was
may be a lifetime experience and even our lead learners were
proud of us . so that moment was a really special mment for all of

us .

AT MORADABAD
Unfortunately our trip had come to an end and we were all upset .
but who knew that new challenges and new experiences awaited
us . MORADABAD may be as soon as after hearing this name the
trip students get a smile on their faces . this was a never
happened before experience , a tiring one but very memorable
one .
After reaching delhi we had a connecting train from Moradabad to
ahemdabad . we had a halt at Moradabad for 2-3 hrs . we were all
stuffed into a small waiting room with our luggage . we were all

tired and bored in just 2 hrs and as soon as the 3 rd hour was on
the verge of completion we heard that the train is late by 2 hrs .
we were all stressed after hearing this . one of our lead learners
jaydeep sir pitied us and then he bought us some food packets
and some soft drinks , for his other colleagues he made tea
himself at the stall . it was so thoughtful of him . our train was
further delayed and it finally arrived at 7:00 am . we waited at the
moradabad station for around seven hrs and those 7 hrs were
really special to me .

Overall it was may one of the best trip of my life . I

will always replenish the memories and will always be
thankful to all those who made my trip a memorable
one .
