Northern India & the Ganges travel

A journey to Northern India begins with Kolkata, the city of arts and letters. An essential stop for any artist aspiring to national recognition. Film festivals, exhibitions, theatre, and dance all bring life to the city of Rabindranath Tagore and Satyajit Ray. The journey continues along the Bay of Bengal, in Odisha: land of tribes, temples... and silkworms! A trip through Bhubaneswar, Puri and Khajuraho for the magnificence of their temples: the Sun Temple, the Erotic Temple, the temple dedicated to the god Jagannath, the avatar of Vishnu. Rayagada, Jeypore, Kunduli for the tribal villages lost in the hills and high plateaus. And a detour through the Tibetan enclaves where prayer flags flutter towards the sky. A brilliant testament to the splendour of the Great Mughals, the Taj Mahal reflects the perfection of Indo-Islamic architecture. Varanasi, the great holy city of Hindus, famous for its ghats along the Ganges, is one of the oldest cities in the world. For centuries, pilgrims have come here seeking salvation and spiritual comfort. Mumbai, finally, the gateway to the south, the “city that never sleeps”.
