January 18 - February 4, 2008
This 18-day journey includes India’s most wonderful sites and cultures. We begin in the coastal town of Mumbai (Bombay), where we see the 1,200-year-old Elephanta Caves. We visit Kanha and Bandhavgarh National Parks, India’s signature wildlife areas. Here we look for a variety of wildlife, including the country’s prize sighting — the tiger. Observing tigers from an elephant’s back is half the fun!
We’ll then explore the extravagant, renowned carvings of the temples of Khajuraho, and in the great cities of Delhi and Jaipur, we’ll see stunning architecture and historic sites. And of course, we’ll visit the Taj Mahal, one of the world’s most beautiful monuments and quite possible the most architecturally perfect building. Fine accommodations are an integral part of the experience. We’ll stay in outstanding jungle lodges, luxurious hotels and historic palaces.
