India Update

Issue 2 | Jan 2011
 

Season’s Greetings!

We are delighted that many of you have sent us back encouraging words for our India Updates. It is indeed very motivating as we continue to strive harder towards giving you the very best of travel experiences and services in the region.

We had one of our groups spend time at one of our Social projects and we have covered it under ‘Signature Experiences ‘ of this issue. The feedback was great and we will like to encourage you to send more clients to see and experience them.

In this edition, we bring to you contrasting landscapes of India; the quaint serenity of Dharamsala , the delightful blue waters of Andaman Islands and a signature experience in the historic Toy Trains of India. What’s more ….the exclusive Kangra Fort’s Maharaja Chandra Museum, the newest royal experience in Udaipur – Fatehgarh and the Apsara backwater luxury cruises at Allepey. Adding to the flavor of the week is information on India’s Republic Day & Beating Retreat and the vibrant Camel Festival of Bikaner.

Have an incredible week!


Most Warmly
