We are going to India this summer!  Follow me and my family as we travel to Delhi, Jammu, Jaipur, Agra, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Varanasi and Mumbai.  It's a crazy itinerary planned by me and a wonderful agent in India Trinetra Tours.

Indian Transportation

Planes, trains, automobiles, rickshaws, e-rickshaws, elephants, camels, boats, trucks...we experienced it all.  Driving through India is like being in a dance with many performers moving through the tiniest of spaces and somehow making it to the end.  Every arrival is like arriving at the end of a rollercoaster ride.  We survived, barely.

Jodhpur 2017

Maharajas from Rajasthan have a title but usually don’t work. They’re families recently have converted their private homes (palaces) into hotels. Ratan Villas is where we stayed last night. We met the Maharaj and he let me take these photos. He’s 85 years old and he has grandchildren in university. The hope is that they take over the family name and protect the homes for future generations.  We took our first Indian train ride from Jaipur to Jodhpur.

Varanasi 2017

Banarsi Silk weaving is an ancient tradition. It’s a dying art form and it’s anticipated once these senior artists stop working their skills go with them. These silk textiles are mostly made into sarees and scarves. The Bressler Silk House has been weavings skills for over 5 generations. The men I met today were extremely kind and gentle. One small scarf can take about 3 months to complete. Ganga Ghat puja is an evening prayer on the Ganges river. Walking towards the ghat, getting on the boat, face timing one of the pilgrims mom while traveling by the cremation ghats….priceless. A truly magical one of a lifetime experience. All of us are speechless.
