Small Group Travel : Max 10 – 12 Pax
WOMEN OF INDIA travels into diverse communities meeting Indian women from all walks of life. It does so with intelligent and empathetic facilitators who have vast experience in negotiating the complex protocols of Indian society. That the women with whom we talk and connect love the experience so deeply is testament to the program and to our facilitator’s ability to put these women at ease.
This is not a journey with a treatise to prove or a philosophy to support, it is a journey of connection to another culture. The conversations, the time spent together, the warmth and joy that we experience are the point of the journey.
Well, that and exploring some of India’s most fascinating and culturally rich places – the Golden City of Jaisalmer, the Blue City of Jodhpur, the spiritual heart of India – Varanasi, while starting and ending in Delhi.
If real travel is a journey into another world, then WOMEN OF INDIA is real travel at its most profound, its most joyous and its most human.
Women of India picks the jewels out of the Indian cultural treasure trove. Beautiful havelis & hotels give the traveller respite from the movement and energy of India.
Women of India is part of the Story Hunters roster of programs that AJA Events has pioneered. It relies on the simple but profound idea that for travel to be meaningful travellers should meet and engage with the people of that country. It should attempt to leave everyone a little better off for the experience.
