Best Exotic Tour
Is anyone keen to come with me on a most excellent adventure to explore colourful, historic Rajasthan for 3 weeks at the end of September this year?
Essentially this is a fundraiser for children I have "inherited" after their Mum died in an accident. She put this tour together for family and friends to show us what delighted her most about India, where she had made her home.
We'll retrace her route, staying in guesthouses with old-world charm, meeting people who were inspired by her work with the underpriviledged, purchase handcrafted treasures and colourful fabrics to bring home, and be wowed by the architecture and history of the old trade route.
With everything taken care of while travelling with her husband and myself in India, including all meals so we can take care of your tummy, you can relax and thoroughly enjoy the magic and mayhem that makes India so special.
Time slips away ~ time to schedule in an exotic adventure this year !
