This Hidden Treasures of India Tour was an incredible experience! Everyday was packed with a fascinating assortment of activities. I enjoyed exploring ancient temples, botanical gardens and historic sites, and most particularly strolling along the beautiful beaches of Bengal Bay as local fisherman hauled in their catches of the day- the birding on the magical Chiliki Lake was truly spectacular.The famous holy festivals were surely a highlight with throngs of worshipers, holy men, and tourists but our visits to the small villages of local tribal communities were equally engaging as we had a unique opportunity to observe the daily routines of many different indigenous people. Our accommodations at the end of each day were always a delightful surprise - my favorites were converted palaces, jungle resorts and heritage hotels. HTO makes traveling in India effortless.
