Customised trip Designs

This journey through Gujarat is designed to spark curiosity and deepen students’ understanding of the region’s natural, cultural, and historical richness. From exploring the unique wildlife of the Little Rann of Kutch and observing traditional salt pan livelihoods, to discovering ancient architecture at the Modhera Sun Temple and Adalaj Stepwell—each experience offers a window into the state’s diverse heritage.

A heritage walk through Old Ahmedabad brings history to life, while a hands-on art workshop encourages creative reflection on the journey, tying together themes of ecology, tradition, and innovation.

Conservation Concerns

Gujarat’s growing industrial and tourism activities are putting pressure on its unique ecosystems—from the coastal marine life in the Gulf of Kutch to the endangered Asiatic Lions of Gir. While these regions are vital for biodiversity, they also support local livelihoods through fishing, tourism, and forest-based work.

For students, this trip offers a chance to understand the balance between development and conservation, and the importance of protecting species like coral reefs, wild asses, and lions in a changing world.
