The scent of roasted cumin seeds floats through an outdoor bazaar in Delhi ... a young girl's bracelets jangle on her arm as she prepares for a festival ... Hindu pilgrims descend ghats into the holy Ganges. In India, every moment brings new stimulation for the senses and the spirit, from the excitement of the well-known "Golden Triangle" cities of Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur to the tranquility of the unexpected retreats that lie between them. We explore it all with expert Trip Leaders who add meaningful narrative to your journey with their intimate understanding of India, past and present.

In a place as vast, varied, and ancient as India, you must concentrate on the details to comprehend the whole—which is why seeing it in the intimacy of a small OAT group makes so much sense. You'll visit local homes and schools ... encounter exotic wildlife ... enjoy camel, train, boat, and rickshaw rides. Come discover Mother India—in all her exoticism.
