An inspiring and enriching Indian Journey
As well as travelling the famous route between, Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, our Golden Triangle itinerary provides a rewarding stay in Aravali, providing the opportunity to experience rural life. Time here is spent learning about sustainability, customs and traditions by visiting local villages, farms and schools. Students benefit a great deal from this, not only is it hugely rewarding, and engaging, it provides them with a new found interest in different people across different cultures.
“The local guide leaders were absolutely outstanding and we cannot praise them highly enough. We felt fully supported and looked after by them and they interacted very well with all our students, ensuring the needs of all were met.”
