The purpose of trips is for education, non-experimental research and to provide students with experiences outside their everyday activities, such as going camping with teachers and their classmates.Field trips are generally domestic, but for high school students, it becomes national and international.

In field trips, students visit a variety of cultural institutions, including art, natural history, and science museums, as well as theaters, zoos, and historical sites. The school gladly endures the expense and disruption of providing field trips because they see these experiences are central to their educational mission: schools provide economically useful skills in numeracy and literacy, but also produce civilized young men and women who would appreciate the arts and culture. More-advantaged families may take their children to these cultural institutions outside of school hours, but less-advantaged students are less likely to have these experiences if schools do not provide them. Field trips, work as the great equalizer in terms of access to our cultural heritage. Educational trips are also organized for places within India and abroad
