Manipal, 29th July 2024 – In a city celebrated for its educational excellence, a unique initiative is transforming how prospective students experience college life. Introducing “Destination Manipal,” the first and only enterprise in Manipal dedicated to offering comprehensive, student-led campus tours. Destination Manipal bridges the gap between conventional campus visits and immersive, informative tours, aiming to provide prospective students and their families with an authentic glimpse into daily life at Manipal’s prestigious institutions.

Unlike traditional campus visits, Destination Manipal’s tours are guided by current students who share their personal experiences and insights. This peer-to-peer approach allows prospective students to ask candid questions and receive genuine answers, helping them make informed decisions about their future.

“We wanted to create a platform where prospective students can feel the pulse of campus life,” says Lt Gen (Dr) M.D. Venkatesh, VSM (Retd), Vice Chancellor MAHE, Manipal. “Our tours go beyond the usual landmarks and delve into the student experience, academic culture, and social environment. We believe that experiencing the campus through the eyes of current students provides a more realistic and relatable perspective, which is crucial for making such an important decision. With Destination Manipal, we aim to showcase the holistic development environment that MAHE offers. Prospective students and their families will have the opportunity to visit our state-of-the-art facilities such as the Experience Theater, Food Courts, Marena Sports Complex, and Hostels. These tours are not just about seeing the campus but understanding the vibrant community and dynamic lifestyle that define Manipal.”

Through its innovative approach, Destination Manipal not only enhances the decision-making process for prospective students but also empowers current students who serve as tour guides. These guides, trained to deliver engaging and informative tours, gain valuable communication and leadership skills. With its unique offering and student-centric philosophy, this initiative is poised for growth.

Destination Manipal is a community-driven initiative that celebrates the spirit of Manipal. By offering unparalleled insights into campus life, it stands out as a beacon of innovation and support for prospective students and their families.
