Smallgroup Travel INDIA HOLI GROUP ITINERARY MARCH 2021 SmallGroup Travel INDIA HOLI GROUP ITINERARY MARCH 2021 India offers a stunning variety in its expanse of about 3.3 million sq. km. You can wander from the chilly peaks of the Himalayas to the hot green Gangetic plains from the majestic Rajasthan deserts to massive mangrove forests to the famous sea and sand of Goa. And in each region, you will be greeted by totally different sound and colors, arts and crafts. The Golden Triangle circuit of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur is on most travel itineraries yet these cities still offer something to the intrepid traveler. Perhaps the word ‘golden’ denotes the alchemy of the elements; the waters of the Yamuna river, the stone and earth of the monuments that have withstood the test of time and the fiery zeal of rulers who sought immortality. Retrace the alchemy of a millennium, through art, literature, economy, architecture, food, stories and folklore to convey an essence of what India is today.

On arrival at the Delhi International airport TIKKA TOURS representative will receive you at the visitor’s lounge, with a paging sign bearing your name. To live is to Travel ………..share the experience! You will be then escorted to your hotel Maidens. Overnight – Maidens Hotel. Maidens Hotel – Straight from a Rudyard Kipling novel, the Maidens Hotel is one of Delhi’s oldest – originally built in 1903. Its simple white exteriors open into beautiful, traditionally decorated interiors with a touch of regal influences from the British Raj. The eight-acre property has beautiful gardens and trees, making it the perfect setting for an escape from the city noise, yet its central location works to its advantage. Each room is in soothing pastel tones and echoes the blend of traditional and contemporary elements, which this heritage hotel offers. Website | www.maidenshotel.com Room Category | Premier room DAY 02|10 MARCH, WEDNESDAY DELHI Meals Included – Breakfast, Dinner If trees and streets could talk, the stories that would pour out of Delhi would keep listeners mesmerized for years. With a history as a capital, Delhi has seen the tides of several rulers from those that people the pages of the epic poem, Mahabharata to the Tughlaq and Mughal empires from Persia, from the imperial colonial armies to the present-day government. Looted, plundered, and resurrected over the years, Delhi emerges from the ashes of her past to take her place in the world as a global capital – politically, culturally and commercially. To live is to Travel ………..share the experience! Start your day in Delhi with the following activities: Rickshaw Ride (Old Delhi) There is a lot to be said about a country, as diverse in its faiths as India, and as tolerant in its attitudes towards each. Today’s political factions and media warmongering may create tensions between India’s many religions; sow the seeds of dissension in the populace, yet the architecture of our cities tells a very different narrative. Head down to Chandni chowk which is partly by Rickshaw, partly on foot and palpably experience the sacred yet secular way of life that is so typical of India. Visit of Colonial Delhi The Colonial Delhi trail will take you past the India Gate, a monument commemorating the deaths of over 70,000 Indian soldiers in the British Forces during the World War I and older British buildings that house today’s Parliament and Secretariat Later drive to the famous Sikh Temple, Bangla Sahib Gurudwara in the company of your local guide. The highlight would be the visit to the community kitchen where volunteers work and feed thousands of devotees daily - the food is offered free to one and all. After lunch visit Dilli haat followed by visit of Khan Market. To live is to Travel ………..share the experience! Dilli Haat Before the notion that today's Delhi is just another beehive of power struggles and banal urbanity grips you, set your sights on a visit to Dilli Haat, a cultural exchange where artisans and craftsmen from India's myriad nooks and crannies come together in a resplendent spectacle of colour, skill and salesmanship. An open-air food plaza and craft bazaar, Dilli Haat is your opportunity to browse through the infinite varieties of cotton-weaves, pottery, woodwork, jewellery, brassware, and clothes brought to life by true masters of their respective crafts. This evening transfer to Connaught place where your dinner is organised at the historical and local favourite - United Coffee house. (7.30 pm) Overnight – Maidens Hotel. DAY 03|11 MARCH, THURSDAY DELHI Meals Included – Breakfast, Start your day in Delhi with the following activities: Salaam Baalak Walk: Stories of children rescued from street life. To live is to Travel ………..share the experience! The Salaam Baalak Trust City Walk is a guided tour of almost 2 hours conducted by children who used to live in the streets of Delhi before coming under the care of the Trust. These are adolescent children who have been fully trained as local guides and who want to improve their communication and speaking skills. These walks are designed to give people a view of their world through their eyes. The walks take you through the streets of Paharganj where these children lived not long ago, invisible to the taxis, the commuters and the sleeping strays in the shadow of New Delhi's Railway Station. These walks are a reflection of their past and the change that SBT has brought in their lives by empowering them and helping them to join a mainstream life. Rest of the day will be at your leisure. Overnight – Maidens Hotel. DAY 04|12 MARCH, FRIDAY DELHI - VARANASI Flight detail – Indigo Airlines Flight 6E 906 (Dep: 0815 Hours Arr: 0940 Hours) Meals Included – Breakfast, Dinner After breakfast TIKKA TOURS representative will escort you to Delhi airport. Board your flight for Varanasi departing at 0815 hrs. On arrival at Varanasi airport at 0940 hrs our representative will receive you at the airport. Straight you will drive to Sarnath. Sarnath, located on the outskirts of the city where the Buddha is said to have delivered his first sermon after achieving enlightenment. It’s here that he preached his first five disciples on the four noble truths who then carried his message to the rest of the country. To live is to Travel ………..share the experience! Visit Buddha’s school of smile. Buddha’s Smile School (BSS) serves children from local slums and villages in north India, delivering primary education with love, care, and motivation since 2003. You will be then escorted to Taj Ganges. Rest of the evening will be at leisure. Dinner & Overnight – Taj Ganges Taj Ganges –is located at Nadesar Palace grounds and set amidst 40 acres is constructed like a Swastik - an ancient symbol which represents good fortune and blessing. With its garden or pool- facing rooms and suites, the hotel is an oasis of greenery, world-class style and contemporary comforts in the oldest living city of the world. Website | www.tajhotels.com Room Category | Superior room DAY 05|13 MARCH, SATURDAY VARANASI To live is to Travel ………..share the experience! Meals Included – Breakfast At the confluence of two tributaries of the Ganges river, Varanasi, is a city of many names, bearing a history of over 3000 years, and had reached its zenith as a centre of religion and learning in the 7th century BC. A city steeped in spiritual sanctity and knowledge, which three great world religions – Buddhism, Jainism and Hinduism, acknowledge as a place of homage. Later named Benares, the city saw the establishment of the Benaras Hindu University, a pre-eminent center of Sanskrit language, culture, philosophy and learning. As a thriving trade post for many centuries, Benaras was also an important center of crafts and culture under the patronage of various rulers, and is world-renowned for its Benaras silk weaving motifs, metal and brass work, and for its wrestling tradition! Rise early and head to the river to board your small boat at dawn.

    ISSN: 2249-7196 IJMRR/June 2015/ Volume 5/Issue 6/Article No-6/390-396 Pardeep Kumar et. al., / International Journal of Management Research & Review JAIN PILGRIMAGE DESTINATIONS AND THEIR POTENTIALITY IN HARYANA TOURISM Pardeep Kumar* 1, Shishpal 1, Pardeep Singh 2 1Faculty of Tourism Management, K.M. Govt. P.G. College, Narwana, Haryana, India. 2Asst. Prof. & Head of Department of Tourism, K.M. Govt. P.G. College, Narwana, Haryana, India. ABSTRACT Pilgrimages are the part and parcel of tourism activities and the concerned places are known as pilgrimage destinations in the tourism domain. Haryana, the pioneer state of India to introduce Highway tourism does also have pilgrimage tourism to show and sell. On the other hand, it is a well known fact that numerous towns and cities of the state were associated with the great religion of Jainism which led the mushrooming of Jain temples and other monuments dedicated to the great saints of Jainism. The systematic study of these areas and concerned Jain sites provide an input for designing and formulation of the Jain pilgrimage destination with mainstream tourism in Haryana. In this regard, the present study focuses on the Jain pilgrimage destinations of Haryana that has an appeal to attract large number of tourists from every nook and corners of the country. Keywords: Jain pilgrimages destination, Haryana tourism, Temple, India. INTRODUCTION Haryana a state in north India was carved out of the state of Punjab in 1966. It is bordered by Punjab and Himachal Pradesh to the north and Rajasthan to the west and south. Eastern border to Uttar Pradesh is defined by river Yamuna.
