Rural Rajasthan and Tribal Gujarat

After you have seen the Taj and visited the “Golden Triangle;” after the forts and palaces of the glorious Maharaja period; maybe even after you have visited beautiful South India - return to India to see the traditional rural lifestyles of the people. This tour ventures away from the chaos and congestion that India’s cities are known for as we step into the vast heartland of the fascinating states of Rajasthan and Gujarat. Each tour coincides with tribal festivals.

Group Departure: February & November Duration: 21 days Feb & 22 days Nov Priced From: $5570-$5750 (USD)

Now that you have visited the palaces and forts of India’s Rajasthan and the temples and waterways of South India, it is time to travel to India’s tribal regions. Embark on tours to Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam in the Northeast, Odisha (formerly called Orissa) in the Southeast and Gujarat in the far West. Immerse yourself in tribal village life in India and encounter India’s captivating range of cultures.

Arunachal Pradesh and Mon Village in Nagaland have been closed to foreigners for much of the past 50 years. As a result, their lush landscape and native cultures have remained virtually untouched. Our Odisha Tour includes Chhattisgarh, the new frontier, where many of the oldest tribes of India reside. In Gujarat we marvel at the extensive textiles heritage of the local tribes as well as enjoy Gujarat’s abundant wildlife.

These ancient cultures are virtually untouched by westernization; each of the tribes of India has certain distinct characteristics in language, dress and cultural mores. They present an astounding array of tattoos, hairstyles, embroidery, and costume. Visiting the tribal regions is a step back in time and a true “off the beaten path” experience for the adventurous traveler. Accommodations have improved quite a bit in the past year!

    The drivers were excellent and Sanjay is super! I appreciated the smoothness with which he revised our program when the road to Tawang closed. I loved the remoteness of the area wth no other foreign visitors.
