— Magical Mystical Incredible India Tour —

(Feb/March 2025)

A Magical Mystical Incredible India Tour to one of the oldest civilizations in the world. India has a rich heritage with a plethora of diverse landscapes, wildlife, cuisines, arts, music, faiths, festivals, people and exotic cultural traditions. An India photo tour is one of the most colorful and enigmatic visual adventures you will ever embark on. From bustling open markets to serene mountain vistas in the northeast, to arid deserts surrounding Rajasthan in the west to the fabled mountain villages along the trade routes that traverse the Himalayas in the north, to the tropical sun-drenched beaches of Kerala and the jungled waterways to the south.

Imagine walking though narrow streets, into an ancient bustling bazar, meandering through a crazy maze of lanes of colorful people and merchandise. Each city, state or region has a distinct story to tell, histories that continue to unfold in an endless profusion. It's a living museum that has an abundance of authentic opportunities, especially for photographers. As with all Off Beat Tours, Mick will consistently get you and your camera into the soul of an unforgettable moment.

This tour will include an unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the world's largest religious gathering, and the most sacred Hindu festival, the Magh (Kumbh) Mela. Young and old, fit and frail, from every region of India, irrespective of caste, color, creed or religion; all join together at the confluence of India's three great rivers — the Ganges, Yamuna and Saraswati rivers. On the most auspicious day of the lunar month, millions of pilgrims from all over the world will take a holy bath to clean their sins and bring pureness to their lives. According to UNESCO, the Kumbh Mela is the largest and most peaceful religious gathering in the world.
