THE ESSENCE OF INDIA
North and South - Ancient and Modern
An Authentic Travel Experience
Led by Dr. Mukul Pandya

January 31 - February 13, 2009
Explore India for what it was thousands of years ago and what it is today
From lavish princely India, to the opulence of the Mughal Empire, the colonial legacy of the British Raj and the vibrant life of modern India, you travel through Indian history and culture as only Journeys of the Mind can take you. Discover the splendors of the north as India reveals her wonders and secrets. Travel across landscapes laden with sumptuous palaces, dotted with ancient temples, guarded by massive forts, and graced with unparalleled magnificence. Our journey continues to the textile capitol of Gujarat, then South to experience the vibrant, burgeoning city of Mumbai and the ancient religious archaeological wonder – the Caves of Elephanta.
Rural life captures the essence of India - Journeys offers a great opportunity
Let other tourists frequent the lofty splendors and silk-lined opulence of Rajasthan’s five-star resorts, which tend to keep the country and its people at arm's length.  Journeys takes you off-the-beaten-track when possible, to quiet rural areas where meticulously restored palaces and estates of merchants offer a retreat into an authentic environment. You will experience India's natural beauty, witness firsthand local village life, birding and wildlife, nature trails, working farms and plantations, and mingle with an amazing cross section of local people; making those rare human connections.
