India tour – Sept 2016

We’re mounting another Mother Ganga Indian tour this year, in September.

There are places still available.

Last year’s tour was a hoot.
Everyone had a great time.

This year’s tour will be the same, with highlights being:

  • Visiting the Taj Mahal

  • Last day buffet lunch at the JW Marriott in Mumbai – the best buffet in India!

Accommodation is luxury – except for the ashram – but we do offer a view of the Ganges from your room!

And food is excellent!  You’ve never had Indian food until you’ve visited India, and Jennifer and I know the best places!

We make visiting India safe, healthy, and fun!
Here are some testimonials from the last tour…

Two wonderful weeks. I’ve adored every minute and will live many over and over again in the coming weeks and months, even years!
Britta
Heartfelt thanks.  It was an extraordinary couple of weeks. Thank you for sharing the India you love with me. Really appreciate all your’s, and Jen’s efforts to make this such a special journey.
Janet
You and Jen are FIVE Star tour guides. We had a super time! The food (especially the JW Marriott buffet), the Beatles ashram at Rishikesh, made especially PERFECT with the music, the monuments, temples, the Ganges, Aarti (very moving), Ganpati, shopping. The tour will be a lifetime memory!
Lynda
India, with hosts extraordinaire Bill & Jennifer, is not to be missed. The Bennetts know all the right places leading you on a spiritual adventure of a lifetime. The ceremonies we were allowed to partake in were spectacular, the sights fabulous and no worries with food or accommodations – all top notch! Joining millions of onlookers on the beach in Mumbai during Ganpati will never be forgotten nor will sitting amongst the monks on the steps of the Ganges river during the Aarti ceremony. Thank you Bill and Jennifer!

  1. Gorgeous photos Bill – what wonderful memories these photos would bring back for everyone from last year’s tour. And of course there’ll be memories to treasure from this year’s Mother Ganga tour too.
    Best, best wishes to you and Jen –

  2. OH yes, all those wonderful times and memories! Forever embedded in my consciousness. All thanks to you Bill and Jennifer 🙂 I LOVE that first photo of us striding away from the Taj – the joy of that morning, testing out our new Indian clothing 🙂 Not too sure about the last one of me; I always thought it made me look like the proverbial crone, but then I guess here well on my way to 70, that’s what I am!!!

    • Ah Britta, I think that last shot has mystery and delight in your face. It’s like you’re beckoning us to join you in discovering the wonders of that amazing country…

    • Watch it my dear friend Britta! I’m less then 10 months from being what you are calling a crone’s age – 70! I do not intend to be a crone and neither should you!

  3. Ah Bill,
    So many memories in those photos. I had the time of my life. Meeting the others from the blog, the ceremonies, food, the temples, mosques and the special bonds with the group that were formed – all are still held very dearly in my mind. Anyone going on this tour will form some of the best lifelong memories.
