“India is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grandmother of tradition”
- Sumant Tyagi

We leave today for India. Today is a travel day and possibly a brutal one. Nineteen hours of plane flights, security lines, customs, and stale peanuts await us. And after all of that we arrive in Dehli, the capitol of India. It is ten and one half hours ahead of us here so we should be fighting jet lag as we arrive in a city of nineteen million people. 

​

India is a huge country with multiple wildly diverse regions. We could not possibly see all of this country in several years, much less six weeks. We will be focused on the Rajasthan (Land of Kings) region in the northwest of India. 

​

After all the research for the trip one word keeps recurring about India – INTENSE. So we have nothing specific planned for the first few days while we adjust to our new reality.  (swallows some Motrin) I think it is going to be amazing
