February 11 – March 10, 2018

INDIA…what an amazing, mysterious, vibrant & diverse country! Judi Dench, Maggie Smith & Bill Nighy all fell in love with it while filming The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel & we know you will, too! Join us for 28 wonderful days as we discover colourful Rajasthan, see bustling Delhi, admire wildlife in world-famous Bandavgarh Tiger Sanctuary & Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary, visit Agra, the Taj Mahal, Varanasi, Uidapur, Jaipur, explore the waterways of Kerala by houseboat & more. And as a special treat, we’ll celebrate the colourful “Holi Festival” with the locals in a desert village at full moon! Wow! There will be bazaars, restaurants, markets & cultural performances to enjoy as well as lots of fun activities. You’ll be immersed in the traditional lifestyle, learn about the fascinating history, admire crafts & architecture & enjoy the delicious cuisine. And, of course, we’ll visit the Marigold film sets! We’ll travel by coach, train, 4WD, rickshaws, houseboat, even camels & elephants! We’ll stay in luxurious 4 – 5 star accommodation - some hotels are former palaces! – on a twin/share basis with most meals included. And if you have special dietary requirements we’ll do our best to cater for your needs, even if you’re a bit of a ‘curry coward’!

Personally Escorted by Global Gypsies The tour will be personally escorted by Jeremy & Jan of Global Gypsies with local English-speaking guides. It will be our third visit to India with Sanjay & our partners at Delhi-based Kipling Travel & we can’t wait to get back! The country has a vitality, rhythm & fascination all its own & is a must-see destination. Yes, some situations can be confronting but it’s all part of the social & cultural fabric.

Inoculations & Health Please consult your GP about inoculations & personal medications you may require. You need to have a good level of fitness & be able to walk three kms & climb steps unassisted to participate. If you have any health concerns or serious pre-existing conditions, we may ask you for a medical certificate.

Security As with many countries, visitors to India should exercise caution. However, when you join a Global Gypsies tour you’ll be in the capable, caring & professional hands of an award-winning company with over 40 years’ combined touring & travel experience. Don’t miss this opportunity to share the wonder & excitement of India with a small group of like-minded travelers led by expert guides!

Visas & Insurance Australians must obtain a visa before travelling to India. You can apply on-line for a single-entry e-Tourist Visa for visits of 30 days or less; the fee is approximately USD$50.

Air Fares Please note that the tour package does not include international air fares to/from India. Clients should make their own arrangements to arrive in Delhi by 5:00 p.m. on February 11, 2017. (For budgeting purposes allow about AUD$2000 return for economy air fares ex-Australia).

What to Pack Dress will be informal. Lightweight, quick dry, non-crushable fabrics, a few warm things & comfy walking shoes are recommended with perhaps a couple of nice outfits for special occasions. We recommend soft suitcases with wheels & a maximum of 15-20 kgs – bring only what you can carry yourself! And leave some room in your case – the shopping is brilliant!
