Hello, my name is Ashish Kumar. I am a new employee of Asian
Adventures. On the 28th of June, I was informed that we are going on a SOP
training program (standard operating procedure) to Pangot near Nainital in a
couple of days, I was really excited.
On the 30th of June, we left the Noida office at 5 PM, and
our journey was wonderful, the weather was enjoyable. We stopped at 2-3 places
en route to Pangot for tea and some delicious pakoras. We reached Pangot by 2
PM we were not in a hurry so. We told the driver not to rush as our Indian
railways say "durghatna se der bhali" (Rather late than never) we
followed that principle. We arrived at Pangot late at noon, we went to our
respective cottages at the Jungle lore birdinglodge.
The cottages were lovely, cosy and comfortable beds so, we slept in a
second.
Next day, we woke up at 6 AM some people had already gone
for birdwatching so, we had our breakfast at Guldar (Restaurant of Jungle lore,
Pangot The food was very delicious and cooked in Kumaoni style every one enjoyed
it and had a great time at the restaurant. We started our 1st-day training at
11:00 AM it was very informational. Our Boss explained to us about different
aspects of tourism and what problems can occur in a tourism company and how to
solve that effectively, and efficiently, we were free around 8:00 PM we had some free time so, we spent time
chitchatting. Employees and various Lodge managers of from different properties
had joined the training program so. It was nice catching up with colleagues who
we had only exchanged emails and spoken over the phone earlier. Post lunch we
went to our respective rooms.
On day two, we have to be present for the next session at
seven so. We woke up by six, had our breakfast, and prepared for our second
training session. It was an excellent training session we get to know a lot
about ourselves, and the question that was asked was -
Where do we see our self in the next five years? Then we got
to know no one was that sure about their future. We were thinking about that
one question the whole day. later we found the way with the help of our mentor
and Boss Mr. Mohit Aggarwal, he told us how we could be confident about our
future goals and objectives. Our second session got over and we were free by
6:00 PM. Pangot is a serene spot and a haven for birdwatchers, so we went for
some photography session and appreciated the serenity of the place. We came
back around 9 pm had some local 'Pahadi' food with a delicious dessert at
Guldar.
Day 3 We all were very excited on day 3 because it was our
last day in Pangot. Our morning started with some videography and photography.
Then around 8 o'clock, we started our training session this day was more about
the management of lodges. We went through different aspects of tourism
promotion. We discussed various ideas and activities that could be implemented
at our lodges. After having lunch, we talked about cross-promotion, which could
be very beneficial for the company.
after that, we clicked some group photographs. A certificate
was awarded to each and every employee for their successful completion of the
SOP training session. We had some great time together and left for our
respective rooms as we had to leave Pangot at 4 in the morning.
