“Travel opens your heart, broadens your mind, and fills your life with stories to tell”
Since time immemorial, people travel to different places for different purposes. Travelling to new places, exploring new environments and meeting new people boost a person’s creativity.
We at Greenwood, are committed to explore new horizons of learning, creativity and development. In a continuous effort to provide best experiential learning, Greenwood Management facilitated an Educational Tour for class 10th students of both Residential and Day Campus.
Our journey started with the boarding of Andhra Pradesh Super fast Express from Warangal Station at 7.30 A.M. and reached Agra on early morning of 13th December. As a popular proverb says, happiness lies in the journey not in the destination; we were amazed with the glimpse of cultural, linguistic and geographical diversity of our nation right from the beginning. Inside the train, meeting new people, exchanging thoughts and sharing pleasantries, lots of fun filled moments are worth mentioning here. While were crossing Chambal River, we witnessed ravines of Chambal that has been shaped by the river over a millennia.
On 13th morning accompanied by tour guides we visited Agra Fort. The grandeur and magnificent view of the fort was astonishing. Encompassing more than 94 Acres, it share its own tell of history. Different structures within Agra fort which attracts the attention of visitors are Diwan-I-Aam, Diwan-I-Khas, Jahangir’s Hauz and Shish Mahal. The breathtaking view of Taj Mahal from Agra Fort shrouded with morning fog certainly makes someone lost in wonder. From entrance to exit, Agra Fort revealed its glorious past mixed with bravery and glory.
Taj Mahal
By afternoon we visited Taj Mahal (Built by Shah Jahan in the memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal) one of the modern seven wonders of the world. The majestic view of Taj Mahal along with its chahar bagh, Yamuna river view from its plinth and central dome that reaches upto 73 meters was a feast for eyes.

The next day i.e., on 14-12-2022, we visited FATEHPUR SIKRI, a city established by Akbar. Inside the Fatehpur Sikri there are different monuments such as Tomb of Salim Chisti, Panchmahal, Jodha Bai Mahal, Anup talab, Naubat Khana and Ibadat Khana. The biggest attraction of Fatehpur Sikri was Buland Darwaja.
MATHURA AND VRINDAVAN
On the way to Amritsar, the city of Golden Temple, we had a brief visit to Mathura and Vrindavan, the places associated with the glory of Lord Sri Krishna.The tumultuous past of Mathura with its chunk of history, linked with the heart of millions of devotees across the globe, the mere presence inside Krishna Janmabhoomi temple makes someone calm, composure and devotional.
Vrindavan, little far from Mathura is a place associated with the childhood days of Lord Sri Krishna. Though there are hundreds of Temples dedicated to the supreme Deity of Hinduism, Prem Mandir stands apart.
Made from Italian Marble, it transport its beholders to another level of experience. The play of modern lights on the shining marbles of the temple worth mentioning here. The Temple Campus of Prem Mandir has all the elements that glorifies the earthly as well as divine deeds of Lord Krishna, be it stealing butter, killing of demons, playing with Sudama, Kaliya Dalan and many more.
The experiences that we had after visiting to these places undoubtedly transformed us from merely a bookish learner to a learner with a new vision and new experience.
