Planning of our Dehradun trip began with a social story narrated by the special educator at Ananda. On 5th March, 2022 residents got the information that all are going for a Dehradun trip from 9th-12th March. Everyone became very happy and excited for the trip and started packing their bags.
On 9th March 23 people of us started the journey at 6:20 a.m. with full of happiness and excitement. We had our breakfast on the bus with sandwiches and fruit juice. On the way we stopped for a tea break at Bhainsi. After having tea we had a photo session at that spot. Then we started again towards Dehradun with extra energy. We played fun games and sang songs on the way. Finally we reached Dehradun at 2:30 p.m. and went to Pizza Hut for lunch. After lunch we reached the hotel around 4:00 p.m. All our residents and assists went to their respective rooms to take rest after a long journey.
On the second day of our trip we went to Mussoorie. Everyone got ready and boarded the bus with full of excitement. Dehradun to Mussoorie road trip was a great experience for all of us. All our residents enjoyed the scenic view. We reached Mussoorie around 12:00pm. First we went to Kempty Falls keeping Mussoorie mall road aside. But after reaching there everyone became a little sad. Because boating was not available on that day, but everybody enjoyed the view of the falls. Some of our team members went for a walk up the hill and some played in the cold water and some had photo sessions amidst the scenic beauty and pleasant weather!
After lunch we again got on the bus and came to mall road. The beauty of "Queen of the Hills" was in front of us. It says "Travelling leaves you speechless then turns you into a storyteller". The scenic view of Mussoorie left us speechless for some time. Everyone enjoyed it a lot. It was a lovely experience for all to stand in front of this scenic beauty with an ice-cream in hand! with full peace of mind we started our journey to the hotel. On the way we stopped at Doom Gaon for a tea break. We felt energetic after having tea in an open air tea shop and viewing the sunset from there.
On the 3rd day of our trip we went to visit Maldevta . This mountain river soothed our souls when we put our feet into the water. So peaceful was the world around us. Suddenly, we discovered that a film shooting is going on nearby and the hero is Rajkumar Rao! it was a great surprise for all of us..
On the same day we visited "Arunima Cafe" which is a cafe run by an assisted living facility. We had tea and snacks there and returned back to the hotel.
On our last day everyone was feeling a little sad. Time came to go back to Ananda. We had our breakfast, packed our bags and boarded the bus. We came back to Gurgaon in the late evening.
The overall trip was very exciting and joyful. It was a great experience for all the team members.
