The Wipro earthian participant teams from Kohima District successfully conducted the Happy Trail .3 Camping Trip from February 27 to March 1 at Dzuleke Village. The three-day camp brought together 18 students, 3 teachers, 2 mentors, and community members for an immersive learning experience rooted in ecology, culture, and sustainability under the Wipro earthian initiative.

The camp offered hands-on activities designed to connect students with nature and indigenous knowledge systems. Participants learned traditional cane basket weaving from a local artisan, explored biodiversity through a bird watching session, and undertook nature walks to Dzulekiechie Falls, Khwukhabadze, Mezhazhu, and the surrounding paddy fields. Students also foraged wild edible plants and learned to cook traditional dishes, gaining insight into sustainable food practices and local livelihoods.
