Ramesh D. Kalicharran’s vast knowledgeof travel in general, and of India in particular,confirms that often times the journey is as mem-orable as the destination. For on such an excit-ing journey to India, the traveller needs not justthe assurance that he is in good, experiencedhands but that he is entertained, enlightened,

and made to feel at home.Because Kali travels have been conducting Bharat Yatras for over

three decades and because every one of them has been personallyplanned by Kali himself, he has established himself as the pre-eminentIndo/Caribbean pioneer in this saga where East meets West.

For the Indo/Caribbean peoples Bharat Yatra is infinitely morethan just a journey to Roots, it is a moment in time for them to havea glimpse of India’s legendary mysticisms.

The visitor therefore needs, more than just a tour guide, he needssomeone who is not just familiar with India, but who, like Kali,embodies what India stands, for. Also tourists from North Americancontinent are equally at home with Kali.

Ramesh Kalicharran has over the years become synonymous withBharat Yatra. You think Bharat Yatra and Kali travels inevitablycomes to mind. Bharat Yatra and Kali Travels have a psychical link.
