Travel & Tours, India - Grand Challenges 2011 and Keystone Symposia

India must easily be the most enchanting paradox the world has ever known. Even as it moves into the 21st century (as the world's 10th-largest industrial power with the world's 4th-largest reservoir of scientific and technical manpower), replete with the newest generation of computers, giant steel plants, an automobile industry racing to catch up with the world – in many parts of India time stands still (as it has for over 5,000 years) in its vast and varied countryside, in its monuments of incomparable grandeur, in the splendor of its music, dance and drama, in the exquisite delicacy of its handicrafts.

It is often said that to travel in India is to expand one’s notion of the possible configurations of human society. As the world’s largest democracy, no single country on Earth is so multi-faceted, so laden with extremes and contradictions, so mind-boggling in its amazing diversity of cultures and religions. India remains, as John Mandeville wrote in 1360, a land of "many diverse countries."

India is a richly rewarding place to travel, but it demands great care and fanatic attention to detail to design trips that are hassle-free. Our in-country ground operator partners possess decades of experience and are renowned for their intimate knowledge of India’s cultural heritage and wildlife. With their assistance, we have compiled an assortment of pre or post meeting itineraries that include the iconic (e.g., Agra and the Taj Mahal) and exotic (e.g., India’s Kerala region, known for its spice plantations, ayurvedic medicine and backwater lifestyle). For those who have very limited time, we also offer a variety of full day and half day excursions around Delhi. And we can also custom design itineraries in India, Bhutan, and Nepal.

The itinerary options listed here are examples of the most popular tour options for day excursions in Delhi as well as pre- and post-meeting tours in India. Please don't hesitate to contact us with any special requests or special interests or itineraries tailored to your time constraints and budget. Regardless of which option you select, you can be assured of an authentic and safe experience that will immerse you—however briefly—in the rich and vibrant diversity of India and its Himalayan neighbors.  Contact us for more information.

Custom itinerary services are also available for travel within India, Bhutan and Nepal.
