India makes one wind down. Some try to see it all in a couple of weeks, that is almost running away from India. Many tours and even backpackers are focused around mega cities, shopping, tourism hubs, pilgrimage centers and historic sites. India's treasure, however, is it's culture and it shines through it's people. The simple daily life of rural villages and towns reveals this reality.

Letting go of a fixed itinerary and merging into the Indian tempo is a key. Otherwise one is likely to grow frustrated: looking at their minimal ways of living as poverty, considering their flexible schedules as incompetence or relating to the natural living as primitive. To really experience the Indian 'Shanti', the liberation of enjoying the moment, one better stop racing for the next. This public program is meant to get you there.
