Duration : 18 Days / 17 Nights
The MEMORABLE INDIA ACTIVITY TOUR OF INDIA is an experience liked by the first time visitor to India wanting to enjoy the diverse culture of the country and its main monuments & famous sites. The tour includes most importantly the famous monument of love - TAJ MAHAL in AGRA and the most ancient HINDU CITY in the world – VARANASI. You would be arriving through the historical city of Delhi, which is also the vibrant capital of India while departing through the financial capital of India – Mumbai. We have not only tried to include some of the most colourful & culturally vibrant cities of North India but have tried to present you a couple of off beat experiences to give a true INDIAN tour. The tour makes it possible for you to come in close contact with the real people of India on a daily basis and though you still do the famous sites and stay in lovely and comfortable hotels you still get to see the real India - the Indian way. We call it "the Indian way" since the tour is escorted by a local man all through who has a royal background but has stayed in the village through most of his youth - thus havingknowledge of the royal estates and the common people.
COMPASS is experienced in private and customized holidays but over the years we have come across a lot of requests for group travel from travellers of various age groups. Last year we organized a few "fixed date holidays" for some of our like-minded travellers and based on their feedback and experience have now launched the MEMORABLE INDIA ACTIVITY TOUR as the first of a series of FIXED DATE TOURS FOR THE YEAR 2008 - 09.
Depending on the strength of the group we provide luxurious air-conditioned van / coach for transportation and sight seeing while the other highlights and inclusions of COMPASS remaining same as in the case of private travellers. And yes, the expert local escort travelling all through with you will be making every day an eventful day.
A couple of activities that we plan during the tour for our travellers are:
- A stop in a village school on the way (books and stationary sponsored by COMPASS) for an one hour interaction and story telling session. Our aim is to increase their exposure to the world and increase their awareness.
- A visit to the common kitchen of a village where all of you learn and help in the making of Indian bread. Our aim here is to give you an idea of how the villages work as one family and we sponsor the bread for the village that evening with a special meal.
- A "daily marketing" experience where you are given some change and a list of things to get from the local market. It is not simple since the local language is written in English but the pronunciation is not given.
- A meal with the royal family of an erstwhile state at their palace in full dress code of past years.
We have realized that travelling in a group is a good idea and could be fun too - it is really enjoyable to travel with your family, friends and the like-minded people. It will take you back in time to your school days of enjoyable school picnics and excursions. Travelling in a group is a good financial decision even since the cost of accommodation as well the cost of transportation come down drastically though there is no compromise on the same.
The tour starts on the 4th of DECEMBER 2008 and you need to arrive in Delhi latest by the 3rd of December. It is middle of the week and you end the tour on a Saturday. This has been done keeping in mind a working day before you start the tour for your last minute shopping at home for the tour. You could extend the tour and add an experience in SOUTH INDIA or a relaxation in a beach destination like GOA. You could also arrive early and do a WILDLIFE EXCURSION or NEPAL HIGHLIGHTS.
A tour itinerary of a country like India can never be DETAILED since there is so much to do everyday and so many things happen all around you at all times - but we have tried to get the highlights down in a detailed plan as below.
