Boasting a colorful calendar of festivals and fairs,
India is packed with fun and excitement as every season
brings with it new celebrations. The birthdays of gods
and goddesses, saints and prophets, historical events
and the advent of the New Year are all depicted in
vibrant festivities.
India is also a shopper’s paradise and is particularly
renowned for its arts, craft and textile skills. Beautiful
cotton and silks and delicate embroidery can make
perfect gifts. The country is a world leading tea
producer so why not return with some flavors to
share with friends. While on this trip, foodies can
look forward to savoring a seductive smorgasbord
of specialties, including quidgy South Indian idlis
(fermented rice cakes) to zesty curries.
