Finally our await came to a conclusion .On the first day of Explorer Fellowship we visited Kondapalli , a town 22 KMS from Vijayawada . We explored Kondapalli by foot and to our astonishment we were mind blown to see the toys that are famous there . Then we travelled to Puri , Konark , Kolkata , Howrah and we changed our gears as we entered the North Eastern part of India . We reached Guwahati and from there we took a bus to Shillong . We reached Shillong at about 11pm and we enquired at the hotels . That was the first sad part of our journey because we could not find any vacancies in the hotels . We did not lose hope and finally , a person helped us in staying that night . On that night we learn an important lesson i.e., at every moment we should be ready enough to face the struggles that face us . We did the same thing there .<\/p>\n<p>Next day , we visited the World\u2019s cleanest village Mawlynnong and also visited Dawki lake which connects India and Bangladesh . We had a splendid experience there and moved to Gangtok .We booked a 3 days 2 night package to visit and explore North Sikkim . We stepped on the World\u2019s highest altitude Lake , Gurudongmar lake . Next we went to Delhi , Agra and Manali . We were food poisoned at Manali and one of us was hospitalized .Then we took very much care about the food we ate then after .<\/p>\n<p>On visiting Rohtang Pass to Udaipur , Surat , Mumbai , Aurangabad , we reached Goa . We hired a bike at Goa and visited beaches, then pushed our feet to God\u2019sown country Kerala . We were mind blown to sea the beautiful rose harden , tea estates at Munnar and the Alleppey back waters . Next we visited Kanyakumari and just missed the chance to view the sun set there . We also visited Trivenisangamam , the place where three sea&#8217;s meet . Next , we moved to Madurai and Rameswaram and it was a splendid experience travelling on Pamban bridge that was but across the ocean . Then we headed towards Thanjavur and finally our journey came to a halt at Tamil Nadu&#8217;s capital Chennai .<\/p>\n<p>We covered 16 states and travelled about 14500 KMS on our 45 days trip . We surely believe that this trip will have a great impact on our attitude in our near future and also with the way of thinking . We heartfully thank IIT GANDHINAGAR for providing this wonderful opportunity to us . EXPLORER FELLOWSHIP helped us to dominate our abilities in every field .[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1527&#8243; img_size=&#8221;250&#215;250&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_rounded&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Gowtham<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Undergraduate<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1528&#8243; img_size=&#8221;250&#215;250&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_rounded&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Harsha<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Undergraduate<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1530&#8243; img_size=&#8221;250&#215;250&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_rounded&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Santosh<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Undergraduate<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1529&#8243; img_size=&#8221;250&#215;250&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_rounded&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Praneeth<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Undergraduate<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_gallery interval=&#8221;3&#8243; images=&#8221;1511,1512,1513,1514,1515,1516,1517,1518,1519&#8243; img_size=&#8221;1000&#215;600&#8243; onclick=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]From the moment we booked our train tickets and with our itinerary done , we were eagerly waiting for the Explorer Fellowship .
