Botanical Orchid Biology Lepidoptery Entomology Study Scopes in Sikkim Tour Details
Sikkim has a vast set of flora and fauna. Here in this tour itinerary, we are presenting how high school and graduation school/college students can do botanical, and zoological excursion tours accompanied by their college professors. We have experienced local support teams, those who have worked with different university associates. An educational excursion is a cardinal and crucial piece of activity that the center of learning provides to all its trainees.
A botanical or zoological study tour or college excursion program organized by the departments of the universities in general spans for 4 to 7 days. The basic itinerary for the educational excursion program goes as follows. A general itinerary for the Botanical Study Tour can be conducted in Pangolakha WLS in East Sikkim; where the research guides or instructors can cover the altitudinal range from 2,000 ft (at Rhenok) to the height of 13,400 ft (at Gnathang Valley). This vast expanse of the Sikkim Himalayan Botanical Study Tour will be fruitful. If the group is planning for a specific season, then also it can be done. Apart from the village areas, our local support team personnel can guide you through the trekking trail of Pangolakha Wildlife Sanctuary. Where the students can spend nights at forest rest houses in the different types of forests and vegetation to varying altitudes with all support logistics.
: Itinerary for Sikkim Himalayan Botanical Study / Excursion Tour for College Students in Pangolakha WLS :
The subject Botany is the study of plant species. Sikkim has 36 species of Rhododendrons, 26 species of Bamboo, 523 species of Orchids, 480 species of Ferns, and many more. If you need a subject to study here, you are always welcome. There are more to explore like - Fungi & Mushrooms, Mosses, Lichen diversity, etc. The scope of such projects undertakes an exceptional and favorable career for students and research fellows.
| First Day | The participants for the Sikkim Botanical Excursion or Study Tour will be received by our guides and drivers team from Bagdogra Airport and from there we will drive up and enter Sikkim via Sevok Rangpo road and arrive at the sanctuary after driving 150 kilometers or 4 hours of drive. We will arrive at the campsite in the afternoon. As per the college instructor's decision or the research guide's decision, we will make visits to specific destinations. Overnight can be planned either in Village Homestays at Pangolakha WLS or Forest Rest Houses inside the wildlife sanctuary. |
|---|---|
| Intermediate Days | The instructor's or the guide's decision will be full and final. The purpose of the visit will be a thorough study of the different elements of the jungle and we will respect their words. We will whole-heartedly try to procure the basic research equipment if instructed beforehand. |
| Last Day | Our journey is over. Post breakfast check out from the campsite and drive to Bagdogra. |
: Itinerary for Sikkim Himalayan Zoological Study / Excursion Tour for College Students in Maenam WLS :
Zoological study tours require meticulous planning and execution. Herpetology (or study of snakes), Entomology (or study of butterflies), Lepidopterology (or study of moths), Batrachology (or study of frogs), and Ornithology - there are no limits to study the different Phylum in Sikkim Himalayas. Since the 1800s, many scholars and researchers have worked on multiple domains of Zoology in Sikkim. Keeping those references and anecdotes, the scope of the limitless study will generate a high-standard academic portfolio for the fellowship holders.
| First Day | We will meet with the team of Zoology Students or research fellows at Bagdogra Airport and from there we will drive via Melli-Jorethang road and arrive at Maenam Wildlife Sanctuary. |
|---|---|
| Intermediate Days | For reference only, we are suggesting Maenam WLS. However, if someone has a specific subject to study, they can discuss us in person and we will suggest them better. For the whole year, our naturalists spend time in the field. Thus, being guided by a full-time naturalist will improve the scope of work and will reduce redundancy and errors in the project. |
| Last Day | The study tour is over. After breakfast, we will drive to Bagdogra as per the flight or train schedule of the participants. |
