Dear Visitor As you may know I have been to India again, this time for 6 months and I have now even more contacts to make our visit a memorable one.
It is still clear that a small group of 5 (6 incl. me) moves around the easiest and 10 days, excluding international flight time, are enough to experience it all.
Find below a travel itinerary and the cost per person with a private room. I found people adore me-time to retire to after the hustle and bustle outside.
Please Note: Itinerary can be customised for you!
Please Note: The only factor that might change the price is the cost of flight tickets by the time of payment after we confirmed our visas.
The next best time for visiting India and Kashmir is October 2015.
Group Visits to India - Delhi, Agra & Kashmir.
Mission India 2006 was the beginning of my relationship with India, although, maybe 11 years before that, a friend of my mom told me about Kashmir and said I must go there. After I returned and told her I saw everything she told me about, I asked her when she visited there and she replied, "Never, I just knew you had to go."
You might have had a similar message delivered to you or an unexplainable yearning in your heart to go to India but just did not feel up to facing it by yourself so...
"...Come with me!"
o Flight tickets to Delhi and Kashmir included and booked for you.
o Private, mostly en-suite accommodation included, bargained for and booked on your behalf! In India one's senses can become overly stimulated with the bustling crowds, exciting traffic and extremes in aromas and colours, so when one retires to rest and recharge, then privacy and peace is the only way to go.
o Free Visa (Agent costs apply now though – the consulate only accepts official agent’s applications now.) Applied for online only – I will assist in this process so that we remain a block-booking.
o All breakfasts and 5 traditional, home-cooked, Indian and Kashmiri dinners included.
o Shatabdi Express Speed Train from Delhi to Agra, return - Included and I'll stand in the queue on your behalf in Delhi.
o All transport costs in tuk-tuks and taxis included and bargained for by me.
o All Entry Fees and Tickets (Delhi by Night Tour, Sunset in Moonlight Gardens, Taj Mahal, Agra Red Fort, Sunset Meditation in Nishaat Gardens, Gulmarg's highest cable-car in the world ride and Shikara sight-seeing on Dal Lake) included and again... I'll queue for the tickets.
The only bargaining you will have to do for yourself is when you buy gifts and souvenirs - then you're on your own, baby! Bargaining is a skill, an art form.
With my experience you can feel safe and do what you came to do in India - Have an unforgettable time and enjoy the journey!
The visit to India is not without its spiritual experiences for those who seek it.
The Lotus Temple in Delhi is a place of meditation and prayer where people from all religions come together in Unity. This is my favourite place in Delhi for each time I visit here my heart chakra opens more...
From a wall at the Lotus Temple:
God grant that the Light of Unity may envelop the whole earth, and that the seal, "the Kingdom is God's", may be stamped upon the brow of all its peoples. - Baha'u'llah
Another happens at the Moonlight Gardens and the Taj Mahal, or as you will get to know it - Tejo Mahalaya. Here in this ancient vortex, where ley-lines cross, a Divine Feminine/Divine Masculine upgrade, balancing and merging of one's energy bodies and the two hemispheres of the brain can be experienced and integrated under my guidance.
In Srinagar's Nishaat Gardens one can meditate where the
Etheric Retreat of Master Kuthumi is situated.
Knowing Indian Spiritual Laws beforehand that...
1. Whomsoever you encounter is the right one,
2. Whatever happens is the only thing that can happen,
3. Each moment in which something begins is the right moment and
4. When something is over it is over...
...puts one in a space where one can prepare to be changed at a core level and...
BE changed.
Come with me - To India!
