Economical, group-friendly breakfast with options like idli, dosa, omelettes and tea; confirm opening time or arrange packed tiffins from school if needed.
Large landscaped garden famous for varieties of roses and seasonal displays — great for nature study, photography and a short guided walk; generally open from early morning until evening (approx 5:00am–7:00pm).
A unique sculptural garden created from recycled materials by Nek Chand — excellent for lessons on creativity, recycling and civic arts; typically open 9:00am–7:00pm, so a morning visit is ideal.
Board the bus for a roughly 40–60 minute drive east to Chhatbir Zoo (Mahendra Chaudhary Zoological Park) — keep attendance check and use the transit for a short educational talk about biodiversity.
Large zoo with mammals, birds and reptiles; ideal for wildlife education, observing animal behaviour and learning about conservation. Zoo hours are generally 9:00am–5:00pm — confirm current timings and pre-book group tickets if possible.
For smooth timing and hygiene, use pre-arranged packed meals or a booked group dining spot close to the zoo; allows students to eat together and rest before returning to the city.
View Le Corbusier's modernist civic architecture and the Open Hand Monument — a compact external guided walk is educational for lessons on planning and architecture; exterior visits generally possible 9:30am–5:00pm.
The Government Museum is rich in Gandharan sculptures and local art but is often closed on Mondays — since 2025-10-20 is a Monday, confirm opening; if closed, spend this time in Sector 17 Plaza for supervised free time and light snacks.
Gather students for a quick feedback session, group photo and headcount; hand out any prizes or certificates for participation and ensure belongings are collected.
If the return is late, pre-arranged packed dinners or a quick stop at a hygienic food outlet like Haldiram's is recommended for students; packed dinners are easiest to manage for large groups.
