What Will I Be Doing?

* Introduction Week
The first week is designed to introduce you to India: inviting you to understand and appreciate her mysteries and complexities and helping you to settle quickly, enabling you to get the most out of the rest of your India Experience. During this week you will learn about the history and culture of India, as well as an introduction to the different languages that are spoken and guidelines on social etiquette. You will try your hand at cooking a traditional Indian meal and have the opportunity to visit local sites of cultural interest.

* Cultural Week
The second week will be an opportunity to delve a little deeper into traditional life in India, with yoga and meditation classes taught by a true Indian master and visits to a number of important sites that have defined and driven the evolution of this part of the world. One such site is the historical town of Srirangapatna, made famous by the Tiger of Mysore, Tipu Sultan, who made his last stand against the British Empire from his fort in the town.

* Adventure & Trekking Week
Wild India comes alive as you explore the Mudumalai National Park, escorted on your environmental trek by experienced local guides. Waterfalls and lakes, and mountains and elephants will stimulate your senses and you will feel a million miles away from home, dwarfed and humbled by your magnificent surroundings and the overall India Experience.

* Beach Break
What better way to reflect on what you have seen and done over the previous weeks than spend your days relaxing on the beaches of Goa? The popular traveller's destination is renowned for its luscious landscapes, dense palm groves, whitewashed churches and perfect sandy beaches. If you have the energy you can rent a bike and explore your surroundings, if not simply read a book and laze your days away, bathing in the unique atmosphere of India.
