- We acknowledge that there are many who are giving memorable experiences to travel-hungry individuals. However, we desire to stand out as specialists in planning an enthralling travel experience for students and adults alike. Travel to different destinations is in itself a great teacher, but as our name suggests, the invaluable time we get with you is infused with knowledge about the havens of our rich culture and heritage, that dot our itinerary.
How about a meaningful get-away? Pack your travel bags. We at “Heritage Tours” are ready and waiting!
- India is a treasure trove of culture, developed over thousands of years and manifested in the form of arts, works of literature, customs, traditions, linguistic expressions, artifacts, heritage sites, and more. It is this cultural and natural wealth that truly makes India, “Incredible India”, as per India’s tourism slogan.
The Policy recognizes that the knowledge of the rich diversity of India should be imbibed first hand by learners. This would mean including simple activities, like touring by students to different parts of the country, which will not only give a boost to tourism but will also lead to an understanding and appreciation of diversity, culture, traditions, and knowledge of different parts of India. Towards this direction under ‘Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat’, 100 tourist destinations in the country will be identified where educational institutions will send students to study these destinations and their history, scientific contributions, traditions, indigenous literature, and knowledge, etc., as a part of augmenting their knowledge about these areas. Children should be given periodic exposure to activities outside school through visits to places/monuments of historical, cultural, and tourist importance.
