On December 16 and 17, 2023, 43 first year BA History students from KAHM Unity Women's College, accompanied by three staff members, embarked on an experiential learning trip to Vagamon, Idukky. The purpose of this trip was to provide the students with a hands on understanding of the environmental and historical significance of the region. During the visit, they explored several notable sites in Wagamon, starting with the enchanting Pine Forest. This lush green forest provided an ideal setting for the students to connect with nature while immersing themselves in the environmental context of the area. Students also visited Kurishu Mala, a hill known for its religious significance. The students were fascinated by the ancient cross located at the top of the hill, which served as a testament to the rich religious heritage of Wagamon.

These visits not only deepened our students' understanding of the region's environmental history but also provided them with a chance to appreciate the diverse cultural fabric of Wagamon.
