Learning outside the classroom is a concept that seems new but is an age old concept in India as it facilitates the process of learning and nurtures creativity in individuals. Taking a cue from that, what could be better than educating self around the country with India travel tours and packages? In India, the land where great scholars like Aryabhata and C. V. Raman were born, education is an ever-growing phenomenon and travelling for education is the sole touring, which is liberally accepted by kids. Here is a list such Indian cities that can be considered for such educational tours.
Science City – Kolkata
A unique blend of leisure and education, the Science City of Kolkata houses in it a Science Centre, Amusement Park and Convention Centre. One of the most distinguished constructions on the grounds of Kolkata, the Science City is the largest science centre in the Indian subcontinent and is a must-visit attraction while on India travel tours. It features five awe-inspiring galleries including the astonishing Dynamotion Hall, which demonstrates the laws of science with a practical twist. The Evolution Park talks about the human evolution through robotics and Space Odyssey, which pans across the universe and its extraordinary journey.
Indian Habitat centre – Delhi
The most extensive convention centre in the country, the Indian Habitat Centre is located in the heart of the national capital of India – Delhi.

It is also home to many non-profit organisations that share a common interest and concern for the habitat, and also holds cultural performances and fine dining options.
