From time immemorial, the fragrance of sandalwood has delighted the connoisseurs
of perfume. Mysore, India’s‘ Sandalwood City’ also known as the ‘City of Palaces’ is
the cultural capital of the state of Karnataka. For nearly 6 centuries, the kingdom of Mysore was
ruled by the Wodeyar dynasty, who were patrons of art and culture. An enlightened dynasty, the
Vodeyars contributed significantly to the cultural and economic growth of the city and the state. In
Mysore city, an ‘old-world’ ambience prevails. One can almost see the ghosts of years gone by,
hear a faint battle-cry, the clash of weapons, or the boom of a cannon.
The Camp:
The purpose of the camp is to create awareness on environmental issues affecting this city,
Gaining first-hand agricultural knowledge from local farmers, and intercultural exchange are
some of the highlights of this camp.
Education: is to make a difference to the existing educational system by introducing
creative learning methods to the schoolchildren and to improving the facilities of the school,
to create better learning facilities for the children in schools and to provide good
community service along with the camp activities.

Lage und Freizeit

Mysore palace is the official residence of the Vodeyar family and was the administrative seat of the
kingdom of Mysore for centuries. Built mainly in the Indo-Saracenic style of architecture, it houses
a treasure trove of beautiful paintings and objects d’art, collected over the years by the royal
family. Antique lovers will find it hard to budge from here, with such a visual feast at hand.
In Hindu folklore, Mysore was plagued by the demon-king Mahishasura, a buffalo-headed monster.
An ancient stone staircase of 1008 steps leads to the temple of the goddess Chamundeshwari, who
fought and killed the demon, thereby liberating the city from his tyranny. Halfway to the shrine is a
huge statue of a Nandi bull, carved out of a single piece of black granite. Hiking up this historic hill
is a pleasurable experience, from the top of which lies a breath taking view of the city of Mysore

Dharamshala holds a very significant position as the second (winter) capital of Himachal Pradesh. It
is also the abode of the Tibetan spiritual leader, the 14th Dalai Lama, and the capital of the Tibetan
government-in-exile, with a considerable Tibetan settlement. It is one of the most beautiful, scenic

insights into the peace-loving Buddhist philosophy. If you are in the right place at the right time,
