What Makes This Trip So Special?

Our “Round the Globe” mini series idea started here, after creating the Naudic Campaign film “Love Story” Part 1. An adventure of a lifetime which continues, read and watch the Udaipur film here https://www.roundtheglobe.com.au/blog/udaipur

These experiences have been designed keeping in mind the principles of Sustainable Tourism that involve and benefit the local community and facilitate genuine cultural exchange. We have a community of over 90 cultural experts from different walks of life - weavers, food experts, musicians, dancers, poets, sculptors, painters, wrestlers, boatmen, shoemakers who are barriers of local art forms and who we work with for curating and delivering these experiences. This makes the experiences authentic and humane. At the same time, due to the empowerment of the community, you get an amiable vibe from the locals helping you feel at home in a foreign culture.

This trip is purely experiential and adventurous, mixing travel, leisure and business into one trip. It is open to all those who are ready to get out there, discover and explore India together in a small curated group.
