Grameen Foundation/Journeys...with Purpose

India Program

January 29 - February 6 2011

India defies description. Its astounding diversity of religions, languages and cultures is unique and unparalleled. The society, varied and complex in its rich heritage, is among the oldest in the world. It is a place of vast extremes. One quarter of the population receives less than 40 cents a day. On the other hand, India also has the most millionaires in the world, the wealthiest people capable of living in the most luxurious of homes

We are offering a trip that will be a journey to the heart of the programs that “alleviate poverty for the world’s poorest citizens”. It is a unique opportunity to travel into the villages and urban communities where small loans are providing hope and empowering women. You will spend time with these women, see their businesses and meet their families.

This 9 day, 8 night itinerary is a journey in discovery. You will float down the sacred Ganges river in Varanasi, the holiest of Hindu cities with throngs of worshippers on the praying Ghats, and be welcomed into the palaces of the Maharajas, reliving the lifestyle of the former rulers of Rajasthan.

India can be at once enchanting and daunting. Journeys...with Purpose, in partnership with Grameen Foundation has marshaled it’s vast potential, incorporating a unique combination of culture, adventure, and education to provide you with a truly transformative travel experience.
