Jogi Bhadak

Classes VI and VII went to Jogi- Bhadak on 8th August. This water fall is located in Manpur. It was really a trek full of fun, enjoyment and excitement. In bus we played antakshri, we sang a lot of songs. When we reached Manpur it was around 11:30. When we started the trek, at first we saw a lot of mint (podinhara) planted around. Then some of my friends and I started to collect some stones present over there. The one which I picked up looked like a crystal! On some stones fungus was also there. Then as we moved beyond, I was very scared because the area seemed a bit dangerous also. But our mentors were with us and they guided us. Then we stopped in between for some rest and to have lunch. At lunch time we were feeling very hungry. We had brought our own food and some of us had already started finishing our lunch boxes while we were still walking!. After lunch we walked for some more time and then we were almost near the river. Then the real fun began. Within no time, all of us were in the river, splashing water at each other. We had a lot of fun in the river. We continued playing in the river for nearly three hours and then we changed and came back to the school, this time also we were busy playing antakshari in the bus. One lesson that I did learn is that I need to be both mentally and physically strong. This was a good test of my stamina and endurance.
