Theme of the week Swithzerland (The land of Alps)


Picnic to Dhola-ri-Dhani on 07/01/12



The students of Orchids- The International School went for a picnic on 7.1.12 to the Tourist attraction, Dhola-ri-Dhani, an ethnic Rajasthani village located far from the madding crowd, just 11 kms from Secunderabad at Kompally on Medchal Highway. The journey by the school buses was of excited anticipation.
  
The school was given a traditional welcome near the majestic entrance. Walking through the entrance that opens the door to a world of folk lore and culture, one experiences an ethnic fantasy and the true Rajasthani lifestyle. The students enjoyed the unique attractions like Camel ride, Puppet show, Magic show, Rajasthani folk music and the ambience of the ethnic Rajasthani styled resort. They shopped at the exclusive handicrafts showroom and participated in the amazing games. The lakes, the boats, the caves and the cottages formed an enthralling scene.

It was a complete fun-filled day for children at the mini Rajasthan.
