Trails for the vacation!

Do you remember when summer holidays meant unlimited fun and carefree times, maybe visiting your grandparents at the ancestral family home, lazy afternoons spent - chasing butterflies, climbing trees to pluck raw mangoes, or throwing stones into the village pond?

This summer, Storytrails announces a set of enjoyable trails for children.
How about a day spent at a village, soaking in the atmosphere, trying a hand at farming, getting to know that eggs don’t really come from the fridge nor rice from the supermarket?

Or a walk on the wild side, literally through a forest?
And for all the movie buffs, how about a peep behind the scenes to discover the movie making process itself?
Doesn’t a day spent camping out, running amok amongst trees and playing games with friends their age, sound enticing?

Cinema Trail, Forest Trail, Bazaar Trail, Culinary Trail, Village Trail or the Storytrails camp-out – take your pick.
For children between the ages of 6 and 12, and a special overnighter for young teens completing their 10th exams this year.
For details, call 99400 40215 or mail to storytrails.kids@gmail.com
