What do you think about when you hear “India?” Most people think of the Taj Mahal- a dreamy, almost mythical place. Some people think of dirt and poverty. I was one of those who had no desire to visit India, but when my husband and I found ourselves with round trip tickets to Mumbai, how could I say no?
What a surprise I had! Our three week tour of India not only filled me with the most magnificent sights and sounds, but introduced me to a culture and people who were so very special that all I could think of was how much I wanted to return.
Being tour guides, we are among the luckiest people in the world… the company that arranged our tour, India Kosher Travel, Â was willing to hire us to lead tours to India!
I want to share with you some of the amazing places we visit and sights we see on our tours to India.
Our tour begins in Udaipur, a very beautiful city in the state of Rajasthan, that is blessed with lakes and gardens and a magnificent city palace. It is the former capital of the Mewar Kingdom. Because of the beauty of the city, it has become a favorite resort of the Indian people as well. Some of the most magnificent and extravagant weddings take place there- using the City Palace and an island in Lake Pichola as venues for the wedding- both of which are lavishly decorated for the weddings by hundred of people. These weddings are attended by thousands of guests and the partying goes on for days!
