Two different Indias within one concept: North Indian cities and Tamil Nadu's temple culture. First Agra, Vrindavan and Barsana; then Arunachala, Chidambaram and Pondicherry's coast.

A private itinerary built around group interests. Choose the north or south alone, add architectural visits and encounters, or connect both sections with a domestic flight. A specific author or facilitator's participation is agreed separately.

PLACES AND EXPERIENCES

Proposed itinerary

The stages below outline a possible route rather than a confirmed departure schedule. Duration, transfers and visits are adapted to the chosen period and the group’s interests.

01 · Delhi: the journey begins

Welcome, check-in and an introduction to the capital according to arrival time.

02 · Agra

The Taj Mahal and Agra's architectural heritage; visiting hours and scope are confirmed during preparation.

03 · Vrindavan and Barsana

Temple quarters and Krishna culture. We choose the intensity of the pilgrimage programme together with the group.

04 · Flight south and Chennai

Airport transfer and domestic flight. A separate day for the regional transition avoids an excessively dense schedule.

05 · Arunachala

Tiruvannamalai, its temple complex and Ramana Maharshi's ashram; walks and mountain circumambulation suit participants' abilities.

06 · Chidambaram

Nataraja Temple and its living religious tradition, subject to visitor access.

07 · Pondicherry and Auroville

The seafront, Sri Aurobindo's legacy and Auroville's visitor programme. Special visits are booked separately.

08 · Return

Agreed transfer and departure from Chennai; an ocean extension can be a separate section.
