Rural Charms

The heart of India lies in its rural countryside, where the earth is still worshipped and old traditions have survived the test of time. Meet the nomadic cattle herders of Rajasthan and Gujarat, experience the utopic township of Auroville, pluck and sip the world’s finest tea in the tea plantations of Darjeeling or stay in a village of bamboo craftsmen in Kerala’s hill country. As you get off the beaten path in India, you’ll open yourself up to a sustainable way of life, grasp man-nature conflicts and experience a side of India that doesn’t feature in regular India trip itineraries.
