If you are not a Painter or Textiler do not be put off, as many people who are neither have travelled with me over the years and have found the tours very rewarding travel. Its good to travel with a focus.
I often have people from other countries on my tours, which adds flavour and makes for a social mix. It is stimulating travel, with most people making firm friends, it is the rule that almost all groups stays in touch and we meet up socially from time to time. Many people come again and again with me.

Travel is a great source of inspiration. We leave our securities behind us and see with fresh eyes. Never underestimate the creative energy it can produce and the lasting pleasure such travel bestows.
India is a slow country to travel in. On the tours we have our own transport throughout, which means we can go at our own pace. I make use of good hotels, not always 5 star (which can be the same the world over) but one, two or three star. Indeed in the villages we stay in basic accommodation. The September Safari will be a very well run tented camp put up just for us. All the accommodation has been chosen for practicality, to give variety and to experience different aspects and ambiences of the country. Some are colonial in feeling or are maybe Havelies (these are noblemans residencies) and on some of the tours we stay in Palaces and Forts.

The tours are full and vigorous. So you will be asked to make some early starts to get everything in. Please bear in mind that travel in India does not always match European standards, so a reasonable degree of fitness is required, as well as tolerance and patience if things do not go as planned. It is my aim for you to absorb as much of the Indian Culture as possible. Remember travel with a focus is a real plus, even if you are not an expert.
Customs are different, for instance expect to bargain - it is expected of you. If you come with a spirit of adventure you will not be disappointed.
