ARA---------------------------A group of students from Sambhavna Residential High School, located in the Majhauwa area of ​​the city, has departed for the Valmiki Tiger Reserve to take part in a nature study camp. Organized under the joint auspices of the Youth Hostel Association of India (Shahabad unit) and Sambhavna Residential High School, this two-day nature study camp is being held from October 23 to October 25.

Accompanying the students to the camp are the school’s Principal, Dr. Archana Singh, along with Art Teacher Sanjeev Sinha, and Sports Teachers Kanhaiya Singh and Nisha Kumari.

Principal Dr. Archana Singh noted that the Valmiki Tiger Reserve, situated on the banks of the Gandak River, is a region of immense natural beauty—often referred to as the "Kashmir of Bihar." This place is also renowned as the *tapobhumi* (land of penance) of Maharishi Valmiki and the birthplace of Luv and Kush.

During the 'Nature Study Camp,' students will visit several significant sites, including the Bhainsalotan tourist spot, a jungle safari, the Kauleshwar Nath Temple, Jatashankar Temple, Naradevi Temple, Triveni Ghat, Valmiki Ashram, Sheesh Mahal, and Gajendra Moksha Dham.

Dr. Kumar Dwijendra, the school director, explained that the objective of this camp is to provide students with practical knowledge about nature, the environment, and historical heritage, alongside the experience of tourism. He stated that upon returning from the trip, students will be required to write a travelogue within three days, detailing what they learned during the camp and the inspiration they drew from it.

He added that the three best travelogues will be selected, and the respective students will be awarded special prizes.
