OBT stands for outbound training, which uses outdoor activities and an experiential learning approach to improve team and individual behaviors as well as organizational performance. To find out more, we traveled to Suryanelli, Munnar for an OBT from 7th October  2022 to 10th October 2022. We looked into a variety of things and discovered the most thrilling adventure activities.Our class became closer and more understanding while traveling on this adventure.

Thus, it all began with a group of enthusiastic individuals congregating close to the bus. At 7:00 a.m.we left the college . It was a lot of fun on the bus. We arrived at the KALYPSO adventures training camp arranged by our college, which is surrounded by stunning hills and natural beauty.

We were given tea when we arrived, and then we addressed the rules and regulations that should be followed within the camp premises. Since we reached at night the camping program  was scheduled to start the next day.

The day began with a group activity. The activity was to make sure that we had group synergy and coordination. Most of the activities were focused on building good communication among the students. The activities included trekking, group activities, making a kayak for river crossing, etc. These activities included problem-solving challenges, trust-building exercises, and communication games. These activities helped participants develop effective communication, leadership, and teamwork skills.

The outcomes of these activities were
