Adventures With Marigolds | India March ‘19

SOLD OUT SORRY!

3 March – 15 March 2019

India. Vibrant, beautiful, incredible India. Would you like to come with me? For 12 magical days and nights of adventures with marigolds.

India is a land of colour, chaos, and humility. It is steeped in history and ritual. Passionate and provocative, challenging yet captivating, and completely seductive, all at the same time.

Serendipity led me to India, and in turn to meet my friend and guide Annpurna, and together we have curated a magical Indian experience to share with you.

Our marigold adventure will take us from the hustle and bustle of Delhi to Agra, the city of love and home to the Taj Mahal. From there we will travel to the beautiful pink city of Jaipur, before venturing to a castle in the countryside, and on to the magical city of Udaipur, city of dawn.

Palaces, spice markets, havelis, flower markets, elephants, ancient forts, vintage textiles, the most delicious food, masala chai, camel carts, temples, perfume, shopping and marigolds. If ever there was a transformative travel experience this is it.

'We had an amazing tour to India with Amanda's Adventures With Marigolds. Amanda's passion and knowledge of India, along with her guide Annpurna, was reflected in all aspects of our trip.
The accommodation was great - from beautiful small boutique hotels to a family palace. We ate and drank locally, rode on rickshaws and camel carts, visited palaces, bazaars and walked through small villages.
It is a cliche to say India is a visual feast, but it truly exceeded all expectations.' Andrea

'If you have ever thought about going to India....... this is the way to do it. India is more colourful, exotic and vibrant than you could ever imagine. From the hustling, bustling, beautiful flower market at dawn, to the frantic, fragrant spice market at dusk. Travelling as part of Amanda's Adventure With Marigolds was fabulous. Everything that could have potentially been difficult was made easy, allowing you to really enjoy everything that India has to offer. And the Marigold's guide, the amazing Annpurna, filled our heads with stories and dramas of the past, while we visited the most wonderful historical places. It would be impossible not to be moved by what we experienced inside ancient ruins, regal palaces, forts, step wells, temples and mosques. Travelling as a group of like-minded women became just a touch more thrilling as the pace picked up riding rickshaws through the narrow, chaotic lanes of old Delhi, or racing each other in tuk-tuks in crowded streets on the way to yet another fabulous place to eat. If I could, I would do it all again tomorrow.' Donna
