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 and professional journey, 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 and visit and stay at some of the hotels that helped him fine tune his skills.

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.

Travel Deeper

India is not a single story — it’s millions woven together. It’s ancient and modern, chaotic and peaceful, intense and 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 the sacred and the joyful, and experience moments of stillness that stay with you long after you return home.
