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!
