Study Tour
Memories of Educational trips are among the most prominent of the formative years, largely because they are a welcome break in the routine for both students and teachers. While their purpose is essentially to educate, they can also be a fun bonding experience for everyone involved.
An Educational trip is a short trip for pleasure to a beautiful place. Educational trips add spice to our lives. They provide the much sought-after relief from our routine life. They refresh our tired nerves. Educational trips give students temporary relief from their studies. After enjoying an Educational trip, they feel fresh and renew their studies with renewed vigor.

Educational trips should always have a major educational element, but the impact of Educational trips can extend much further. The importance of Educational trips includes giving students the chance to build closer bonds with their classmates, experience new environments, and enjoy a day away from the classroom.
Educational trips are important in many ways
Curiosity
Students who go on educational trips find that they want to learn more about the subjects on which the trip is focused.
Retention
The type of memories that Educational trips create, called “episodic memories”, helps children retain information for longer periods.

Beauty
A picnic usually happens in the lap of nature thus bringing us closer to its serenity and awesome beauty. Nature acts as an open health spa by allowing us to breathe fresh air and generate euphoria
Reinforcement
The trip can reinforce what a teacher has been instructing in class about a subject and help students understand the topic better. Engagement Teachers turn trips into mobile classrooms, instructing students to collect data, then quizzing them or assigning a project based on what they learned during the outing

Socialization
Taking students into a new environment gives them the experience of traveling in a group and teaches them to be respectful of the locations they visit. This can be particularly advantageous to students who don't have the opportunity to travel. By coming into direct contact with a different environment or even a new culture or language, students can better understand their place in the community and develop an openness to differences in others.
New Sights
When students and teachers are together outside the classroom, new educational environments and experiences are possible. Students may have the opportunity to observe many things that are not available in the classroom, including exotic wildlife, and rare plants

Bonding
Getting away from the everyday atmosphere of the classroom allows students to spend time with each other in a new environment. Students may be able to spend much of the Educational trip day in small groups, observing, chatting, and learning about each other. Having an Educational trip in the early part of the term is wise since it will allow students to bond with classmates they may not know very well.
Informal Learning Environment
Educational trips provide valuable educational opportunities away from the classroom, without using textbooks and other tools. A student is learning informally and becomes motivated to learn more in-depth when he returns to the classroom. If the Educational trip destination has staff members who do hands-on teaching with visiting students -- such as at a science center or historical museum -- the children will be excited to learn from someone new.

Fun
No matter how much students learn during an Educational trip, their favorite memories may be based on their enjoyment of the day. Getting away from the classroom for a day or even half a day is always exciting for students, and Educational trips are always highly anticipated. Students will have fun with their friends and they also may return to the classroom with a renewed focus on their classwork.
Reward
Before an Educational trip even takes place, it can begin to produce benefits for students. By not allowing students with behavioral or academic problems to participate in an Educational trip, teachers can encourage good behavior and motivate students to work hard with the prospect of an Educational trip looming as a reward.
