After Lunch there are lectures on rules of Trekking, Rope knots, map reading, etc. Various games are conducted in the evening. Before dinner usually there is a lecture or a slide show on Himalaya / wild life / Environmental conditions. Every day each group by rotation goes to the near by jungle for night stay in the tents, which is a safe but thrilling experience to the participants. On the last night they enjoy the camp-fire. Finaly on the last day they undergo a small exmination on the subjects taught during last 4 days.
