MARCH 18 - MARCH 30, 2024
From the Yoga Capital of the World deep into the Sacred Himalayas
Indian civilization is one of the oldest in the world. The first settlements appeared around 6600 BC. in the fertile valley of the Indus River. Then large cities were built here - Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro. Excavations have shown that these cities had straight streets, brick houses, and even water supply and sewerage. There was also a written language, which, unfortunately, has not yet been deciphered. Now India is developing and moving forward towards the future. The capital of this country is the city of Delhi, with many attractions and beautiful places.
The official name of the country is the REPUBLIC OF INDIA, derived from the ancient Persian word Hindu. Since the time of the Mughal Empire, the name HINDUSTAN has also been used.

WHY CHOOSE THIS TOUR
6 REASONS TO VISIT INDIA
1.YOGA
India is famous all over the world for its ancient knowledge - yoga. The city of RISHIKESH is recognized as the capital of yoga. Since the 70s of the last century, this city has become the unofficial world capital of yogis. Hundreds of traveling pilgrims come there. Celebrities also visit India in search of spiritual awakening and yoga, including the Beatles.
2. SPIRITUALITY:
India has been the cradle of spirituality since time immemorial. It was here in India that Buddha and Mahavira achieved nirvana and preached spirituality. In India, Hinduism is practiced not only as a religion but also as a way of life
3.AYURVEDA
Ayurveda is the “science of life”, traditional Indian medicine. Created in India 5 thousand years ago. The basis of the teaching is the assertion that the human body is an integral system, and it is necessary to treat not the symptoms, but the root cause of the disease.
4.EXOTIC
This is exactly what Europeans come to India for, because absolutely everything you encounter in this country will be unusual and unusual. Seaside landscapes with Hindu temples, Portuguese medieval buildings and tropical trees, the air in which the aroma of exotic spices hovers, and even women in saris with caste marks on their foreheads will surprise you with their unusualness.
5.INDIAN CUISINE
Many people love India precisely for its gastronomic delights. Some people like the heat of food, others like its spiciness. Indians themselves prefer curry. Curry is an Indian spice that includes turmeric, cumin, coriander, ginger, and red pepper. An Indian breakfast is tea or coffee, a wheat, rice or lentil roti, a dosa rice pancake or deep-fried puri bread, sweet or savory porridge and perhaps a vegetable dish with potatoes and lentils. Egg omelettes and scrambled eggs are prepared for foreigners. The sweets are mind-blowing, made with honey, with nuts and fruits.
6.CHARITY
Another reason why you need to go to India is to help the poor, in other words, to do charity work. It's no secret that even today up to 25% of the total population of India are illiterate people

We go out to a stunningly beautiful place - Naddi - 4 km from McLeod Ganj, incredible views of the Himalayas and glaciers, a little further down we see the Anglican Church of St. John. The atmosphere around the temple is filled with some kind of mystery and mystery. The impression is that as soon as dusk falls on the mountains, the lights will come on in the temple and the secret service will begin... The church was built in the neo-Gothic style in 1852, one and a half kilometers from McLeod Ganj (Upper Dharamsala), which was then an English resort.
Of course this is not the British Museum, an old modest working church.
The most spectacular decoration of the interior decoration of the church is the stained glass windows,
presented by the wife of James Bruce Viceroy of India to the Eighth Lord Elgin and the Twelfth Lord Kincardine.
The Lord himself is buried next to the church. Relict Himalayan cedars, fifty meters high, no less, two girths thick, simply stun the imagination with their beauty.
