India

Challenge your thinking on a rewarding educational tour of India, where variety is literally the spice of life. The first thing you’ll learn is to embrace the unexpected. Travelling through the world’s largest democratic state, you’ll be immersed in an incredible mix of people, customs, languages, landscapes and ideas. A sensory experience awaits. 

Travelling to India is your chance to explore diverse topics – from architecture and urbanisation, to equality, development and environmental issues. In India’s megacities, for example, you’ll see the growing rich-poor divide play out between skyscrapers and slums. You’ll become adept at understanding social patterns and trends, and learn to recognise different spiritual rituals and cultural practices. 

When you need time out from the hubbub of life among 1.3 billion people, India’s national parks offer the perfect salve. India is one of the world’s most biodiverse places and is home to over 7 per cent of all recorded species. There’s no better way to learn about its wildlife than in the company of local ecologists and conservationists.
