A year we will always remember.
When news of the pandemic first trickled out, a small group and I were touring the heartlands of India. We wound our way to Delhi and managed to board the last flights out. Arriving in Canada was like landing in the middle of an apocalypse: deserted roads, unbelievable gas prices, quarantine, and no knowing what would happen next. Only upside? Plenty of time to reminisce about three India 2020 tours we were fortunate to complete before travel ground to a halt. Here are some highlights.
Gujarat-Kutch: Salt desert, shipbuilding, village visits, natural dyeing
Jaipur : Block print workshops, natural indigo dyeing, and Jaipur Literary Festival
We plan to return to Gujarat-Kutch-Rajasthan in January 2022 with an added attraction: the incredible stepwells of Gujarat. More here.
Orissa: Indigenous lands, rural markets, village-to-village walks
Orissa: northern temples, weaving villages, ikat everywhere
Orissa stole our hearts. Unlike anywhere else in India. We hope to repeat this tour in 2023. Write us!
Essence of India: Goa, Badami, Hampi
Essence of India: Art Deco Mumbai
Essence of India: heart of India in Maheshwar, Ajanta, Ellora
Essence of India: Tribal art museum, Orchha, Sanchi, and coming back home
Zigzagged through little-trodden and spectacular heartlands -- the very essence of India. Indophiles, rejoice! Write us for more info.
