ADVENTURE

Travel is a basic human urge, a chance to discover something new about oneself and others. We know that our style of adventure travel appeals to people who want more out of their journeys, than cheap wine and a suntan. Typically, the people who go with DISCOVERY JOURNEYS enjoy good health, are reasonably active, and want to see the world the way it should be seen. India is a land where nothing has been left undone, either by man or nature. It is the most extraordinary country that the sun visits on his rounds. Therefore our “Adventures” include a wide range of activities – walks, treks, bicycling, camel safaris, river rafting et al. So we attract a special kind of person – the one prepared to tackle remote, off the beaten track areas, and cope with the infinite variety of experiences from day to day. Our trips have no place for rigid attitudes, cultural prejudices or false preconceptions. Each tour description gives you a pretty good idea of what to expect. Somewhere in this varied tour programme you will find one or more trips that appeal to your sense of adventure. Please do not hesitate to contact us for more information so that you can best decide your adventure of a lifetime, guaranteed!
