Culture Tours India - A wide range of customised culture tours in India

No other country juxtaposes Stone Age cultures and Post-modern groups almost at the same time and space. In Indian towns and cities there is a constant struggle between the ancient, medieval and present, rich and poor, and traditional and modern. And not surprisingly, Indian cities are a cornucopia of images. As one walks through them, one is awed by the ancient structures strewn around, the vibrant markets, the variety of street food, the colourful people, the multi-cultural mix of mosques, churches and temples, and the sheer throbbing energy of the country.

Nowhere else in the world are people as colourful as the inhabitants of India — they are forever ready to celebrate life, living it differently but always joyously. Their numerous fairs and festivals occupy a prime place in their lives and are window to the true spirit of the society and the vibrant culture of this ancient land.

GIVEN BELOW ARE SOME OF OUR SIGNATURE CULTURE TOURS IN INDIA. FOR A CUSTOMISED ITINERARY, PLEASE WRITE TO US.

Introduction to North India

India is as diverse a landmass as any can be. The land is a lesson in geographical terminologies, a chronological survey of human history, a collection of all race types and a study in culture. It is a 'museum of anthropology', as a 19th century British scholar commented.

Indeed, it is impossible to explore India in a short few weeks’ tour; but definitely an introduction to India can begin with North India.

The destinations you will visit in this tour include DELHI, VARANASI, KHAJURAHO, AGRA, JAIPUR, JODHPUR, UDAIPUR, and MUMBAI.

Rural Rajasthan

Rural Rajasthan is all about stunning rugged countryside of the Aravalis, ancient temples, colourful inhabitants, and medieval structures strewn all around. It is also a perfect destination for soft adventure activities like walking, hiking, jeep safaris, horse riding and cycling.

The charm of rural Rajasthan can be explored from close quarters thanks to the availability of a number of small heritage hotels which are scattered throughout.

The destinations you will visit in this tour include DELHI, AGRA, KARAULI, BUNDI, UDAIPUR, DEOGARH, JODHPUR, and JAIPUR.

Visit the only matriarchal society of the Khasis in a painfully patriarchal India; see the one-horned rhinos of Kaziranga; enjoy soft cultural heritage of Majuli Island; interact with the fierce Nagas on the border of India and Burma and end the trip in lazy Dibrugarh… at a lovely tea plantation bungalow.
