In today’s fast-paced world built upon the framework of a concrete jungle, it becomes crucial to take a break every once in a while and remember our roots. That is why the Nature’s Camp hosted by the Bengali Department of The Bhawanipur Education Society College is an initiative that the students lie eagerly in wait for. This year we had participation from fourteen students and four graduates accompanied by the teachers of Bengali Department (Dr. Mili Samaddar and Dr. Kasturi Mukherjee). The trip was scheduled from 24rd March to 28th March, 2024. The primary target was silk route and there were three major stops along the way, apart from resting for meals and waiting at viewpoints en route. The first stop at Rishikhola really set the mood for the entire trip. The homestay was adjacent to a beautiful little stream of fresh, flowing mountainous water right in the midst of a valley. The students got a glimpse of Mother Nature’s wild side and what was yet to come. Next up was Pedamcheng and the students were in for a bigger treat. The view from the homestay was ethereal. Looking through the mist, four mountains were visible, lying parallel to each other. At one point, some clouds wafted in the viewing area and it was time to share ghost stories. As the group bid Pedamcheng goodbye and ventured towards Zuluk, a stop was made at Rongli market. The students had a fun time picking out souvenirs to take back home. By the time the group approached Zuluk, the anticipation to see snow was unbearably overwhelming. As the cars made their way up the zigzag road, the students caught a glimpse of the mighty Kanchenjunga and life seemed to have come full circle. The cars came to a halt and what ensued was an epic snowfight with the snow deposited on the roadsides. The journey had officially reached its pinnacle. Overall, the experience was a great opportunity to look within and self reflect in the bosom of the mountains. The professors were great guides and encouraged the students to embrace their adventurous side. Needless to say, it was a great bonding exercise for the students and undoubtedly encouraged them to find their footing in the world.
