Meaningful learning experience happens many times in lifetime, some teaches minor lessons whether some teaches important lesson. I learned a meaningful experience on a religious and historical tour that I went with my friends. The author of "The Banking Concept of Education"  Freire Paulo describes the learning experience as a problem posing and critical thinking, which somewhat relates to my experience. The concept of Percy Walker in "The Loss of the Creature  shows the learning through sovereignty and exploring is more similar to my learning. I learned the meaning of people's lifestyle that differs according to the person and the places they lived and also the problems that they have on getting the basic needs that everyone has right to get it. Sovereignty doesn't require being alone on or only few people. In 2010, my friends Prashant, Sujit, Pradhu, four others and me made a plan to go motorcycle tour on a religious tour for four days.

In My opinion it doesn't matter the place is discovered or not but should be something new and interesting that you had never experienced before. I was so excited that I was not even the half of the way and saw so beautiful places. How would be that places that we were going? What would I see on the way? As the Freire brings the concept of critical thinking on his writing, some questions arose on my mind and started thinking deeply on to it. After a long drive of 10 hours, we reached a city called Pokhara, which is one of the most beautiful city of my country Nepal. We decided to stay there for a night visit some places, eat food and sleep at night. We went boating on Fewa Lake from where we could see a clear view of mountain piled up with the snow. Th
