LEARNING VACATIONS at Bhimtal 

When I first heard about the idea of learning vacation, I was pretty sure it is going to be interesting, and it turned out to be more than that. It was a treat full of fun and learning, difficult to say which one was more, fun or learning. At an altitude exceeding 1300 meters, we were surrounded by towering peaks and Spellbinding views. The wilderness, close by, was home to many species of wild life and food to various animals, birds and reptiles. It provided a rare opportunity to study the wildlife in an open area. Nearby was the Asia’s largest butterfly collection by Frederick Smetacheck. We saw rare butterflies from deep inside the Himalayas. Places like Nainital, Naukuchia tal, Sat tal and Mukteshwar are all close by. The best thing about the whole trip was that it never gave a feeling of being in a hotel. It felt like home; the place and the people gave a feeling that we were staying in our own ‘holiday home’ in the hills or what we call ‘farm house’ back in Delhi.   Each day began with the learning and the second half of the day was spent enjoying the vacation. The first morning of our Learning Vacation started with getting to know about the basics of filmmaking, and then there was no looking back on consolidating our knowledge and skills on filmmaking.   We were a group of six on a ‘never before vacation’. Greenery all around; and a tranquil atmosphere provided us was great inspiration and made it the best place to learn the art.   Doing film courses are expensive and even vacation packages don’t come cheap. I can’t believe that I got both at an unbelievable price. It was a never before vacation. It’s a unique idea executed extremely well by Vikas, the mastermind. My advice to all who are looking for an experience that is different from a mundane holiday is to try this one out. It’s refreshing and exhilarating.
