India is diverse, like a rainbow where many colors come together. Come with us and be part of this diversity. You will get to know many of the Indian subcultures, their food, the languages, the lifestyles, the traditions and the connections between the diverse philosophies & religions. 

When we get touched deep within, we call it a spiritual experience. Be part of this journey where we immerse ourselves in sacred India, and at the same time discover ourselves.

During our trip, we will also experience the complexity of Indian culture and also have the chance for various spiritual experiences, such as the opportunity to volunteer in the large kitchen of a Gurdwara (Sikh temple) where thousands of people are fed freely every day. It is a very special experience and unique in the world. Participate in a puja in the Buddhist monastery in Dharamsala (the exile home of the Dalai Lama) - and many other impressive adventures and experiences in Sacred India.
