    South India & Rajasthan

    Take in the cultural heritage and temples of South India and forts and palaces of Rajasthan.

    It is hard to imagine India as one country when you think of the diverse cultures, religions and ethnic groups, who like here. Yet they seem to do it with great success, with often English (in its various forms ) being the only language that is commonly used!

    On this trip we have combined the two very different and contrasting regions of India on a cultural tour. The first part of the tour takes you to South India, for it lush green vegetation and Dravidian culture, where you see local dances, visit a nature park,amazing temples and experience a cruise on a house boat. The second half of the trip is in the north west region of India - to a region that has seen invaders bring in their culture. We travel to the desert fort region of Jaisalmer, visis palaces and forts and of course the famous Taj Mahal.
