A Journey to India Like No Other
An 11-Day Guided Experience with Vivek & Monica | March 2026
A new adventure is calling — one layered in colour, flavour, and soul.
This March, join Vivek and Monica on a journey to discover India — not through the lens of a tourist,
but through the eyes of someone returning home. This intimate, 11-day experience will take you through
Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, and Varanasi — four extraordinary cities woven together by history, hospitality,
and heart.
But this isn’t a whirlwind of monuments. It’s a journey of meaning, stories, and connection — a chance
to see India not only as it looks, but as it feels.
The Story Behind the Journey
For years, Vivek has dreamed of bringing friends, family, and guests to the India he knows and loves — the one
that shaped his upbringing, inspired his worldview, and continues to ground his sense of self.
“This journey is more than a tour — it’s a dream I’ve carried for years. After decades abroad, it’s been on my
bucket list to one day show the India I know, the one beyond the postcards and guidebooks.”— Vivek Sharma
This trip is an invitation to join that story — to walk the streets where he grew up, taste the foods that define
his memories, and connect with the people and places that live in his heart.
The Journey
Over 11 unforgettable days starting March 15, 2026, you’ll travel through some of India’s most iconic and soulful
destinations:
Delhi
A city where ancient temples stand beside modern art galleries, where every corner hums with energy. Vivek will
introduce you to his personal India — the hidden eateries, bustling spice markets, and quiet moments that most
visitors never see.
Agra
Home to the Taj Mahal, yes, but also to centuries of Mughal heritage and deep culinary traditions. Watch the sunrise
cast its first light over the marble dome, then enjoy a home-style thali that tells stories of generations past.
Jaipur
The “Pink City,” bursting with colour, craft, and creativity. Explore royal palaces, meet local artisans, and
discover the city’s art and architecture and how it reflects Rajasthan’s spirit of beauty and resilience.
Varanasi
India’s spiritual heart. Here, you’ll experience something timeless — watching the sun rise over the Ganges as pilgrims
gather for morning prayers and witnessing ancient rituals that have continued for centuries.
Along the way, you’ll share meals prepared by a local and friend, celebrate Holi — the festival of colours — with locals,
and find yourself swept into the rhythm of India’s laughter, music, and generosity.

welcoming all at once.
This trip invites you to go beyond the postcards — to see the contrasts and connections that make India unforgettable.
You’ll taste food prepared with recipes passed down through generations, witness festivals that blur the line between
