TRIP TO AMRITSAR-DALHOUSIE
A school trip had been organized for the students of class XII to Amritsar and Dalhousie from 27th May 2023 to 1st June 2023 by ITL Public School.

Fun activities also reduce stress, improve overall well-being, and foster a love for learning that lasts a lifetime.
The school trip inculcated visits to important historic and adventure-based landmarks in the northern states of Punjab and Himachal Pradesh.
On the first day i.e. 27th of May, the students assembled at the school campus in great excitement at 8:30 pm for attendance.

After 4 hours of a fun-filled bus ride, kilometers of straight uninterrupted straight road contrasted by the twisting and turning asphalt laid onto the hills of Himachal, the students appreciated the beauty that surrounded them. After 1 stop at a local dhaba, including evening tea and a photo session students and teachers boarded the bus once again to complete their journey. The rain had begun in the second part of the journey and as the sun set, violent winds and raindrops surrounded the bus. No one minded the delay in the journey because they got to see the beautiful rain and thunder in all its glory. The sky burst so close to them that they could feel the thunder around them. It was an exhilarating experience for all of them.
The buses arrived near the hotel, ‘SS Resorts’ at 9.30 and students were transported to the dining area for dinner. After this, they were escorted into their rooms where they got to rest after a long journey and recharge for another fun-filled day. Their first morning in Dalhousie started with breakfast at 8.30 am. The students then took a drive to Khajjiar, a valley surrounded by green rolling hills. Students stopped at a local shelter nearby due to heavy rains, however, the mood wasn’t soured as students went back to the hotel and reached around 10 pm to finally rest and end the day.
The next morning, 29th May, the students were up and about at 7 am and were gathered for breakfast around 8 am. The students were assembled for a visit to the holy Golden Temple and Jallianwala Bagh.

The Father of the Church greeted students with his wise words telling them the importance of religion, culture, and tradition as well as the values of selflessness and honesty. He conducted a quick prayer that echoed in the silence of the church into the minds of students and teachers. At 12.30 students journeyed back to the hotel. The plan for the waterfall had been replaced to ensure student safety in weather conditions. Instead, the students themselves considered alternatives and after a zesty debate, in the end, students ended up enjoying each other’s’ company for a few hours to put a close to their stay at Dalhousie. Around 2 pm students gathered in the hotel reception with their belongings to start their journey back to Delhi. The bus stopped around 4 pm and 5 pm respectively for breaks.
