For the last 15 years, I have been leading trips across India, Nepal and Sri Lanka for several companies and I have made friends from across the globe. It is these friends who have encouraged me to launch a personalized travel service company, which I am to run with the help of some close friends and family members.
From the most exclusive hideaways and destinations to the Forests & Nature reserves, from rafting down the cascading rivers to trekking on un-spoilt and breathtaking terrain, from sampling the exotic and diverse cuisine to simple walks in the wilderness……
I will be happy to plan a most interesting vacation for you in India, Nepal and Sri Lanka. Based on your wishes and my firsthand experience, you can pack your bags for a ‘Perfectly Planned Journey’.
Every person who tours with me tells me that a real (and unexpected) highlight of their tour was the gaining a much better understanding of the people of India, who are generally very charming and content with their life.
Kumbh Mela
The Kumbh Mela (or Grand Pitcher Festival) is a huge Hindu religious festival that takes place in India every 12 years. In 2001, 60 million people attended, breaking the record for the world’s biggest gathering.
The mass of people was photographed from space by a satellite.
Indian flag
The Indian flag has three horizontal bands of color: saffron for courage and sacrifice, white for truth and peace, and green for faith, fertility, and chivalry. An emblem of a wheel spinning used to be in the center of the white band, but when India gained independence, a Buddhist dharma chakra, or wheel of life, replaced the spinning wheel.
Rivers
Rivers have played a vital role in India’s popular culture and folklore—they have been worshipped as goddesses because they bring water to an otherwise dry land. Bathing in the Ganges in particular is thought to take away a person’s sins.
It is not unusual to spread a loved one’s ashes in the Ganges.
Taj Mahal
The Taj Mahal is a white Marble mausoleum located in Agra, India. It was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal.
The Taj Mahal in India is perfectly symmetrical, except for one thing. The two tombs inside are not equal in size. This is because the male tomb has to be larger than the female tomb.
