Led by Jennifer Wilkinson, the group comes together in India’s capital, Delhi before travelling to Chandigarh and on to Amritsar to experience the magnificence of the Golden Templeis not only a central religious place of the Sikhs but also a symbol of human brotherhood and equality. We continue on to Shimla in the foothills of the Himalaya, with the greater Himalayan range, often referred to as the “roof of the world”, towering above. We explore the hill station of Shimla to discover the remnants of the British Raj, now blended with local traditions and way of life. We delight in the luxury of the beautiful Wildflower Hall for three nights where we can explore the foothills of the Himalaya in some beautiful day walks and indulge in their luxury spa treatments.
We continue on to Kolkata, a city steeped in colonial history and architecture but with a vibrant and captivating cultural and culinary core. It exudes charm and character with its decaying mansions, abundant street food and lively markets. It was home to many freedom fighters and intellectuals during India’s battle for Independence and this strong and proud character continues today in its people.
After spending time in the magnificent tea country of Darjeeling and the stunning Glenburn Tea Estate, we return to Delhi for two nights.
