Dive deep into the spiritual core of India by exploring aspects of both Hinduism and Buddhism. Our Spiritual Adventure in Northern India is sure to be better than ever! Begin the journey in Dharamsala for an immersion into Buddhist culture in the Dalai Lama's hometown. Activities include interaction with monks, a Tibetan museum and cultural center, a cooking class, and a Himalayan hike to an important stupa. From there, travel to Rishikesh, the yoga capital of the world, for the 2011 International Yoga Festival at Parmarth Niketan Ashram. This ashram is our favorite and each day is filled with yoga classes and lectures by teachers and Swamis from around the world. For a break from the fest, activities include a hike to a temple, a swim in the Ganges, river rafting, a visit to the Beatles Ashram, and a dance performance and games with a school for young children. From there we journey to Agra for an unforgettable visit to the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. Finally, end in Delhi with a visit to Ghandi's memorial, the Spice Market, bustling Chandni Chowk, and Connaught Square for last minute shopping.
