  • We returned from India a week ago and wanted to share some photos with you, and also let you know that we had a marvelous experience. IJ and his staff were very attentive and helped my

    family experience an unforgettable trip. We visited both the Golden Triangle (New Delhi, Agra, Jaipur) in the north, and regions in Kerala and Karnataka in the south. We all left India

    loving it and wanting more. Attached are some of my favorite photos I wanted to share with you by the way we all gained weight.... food was great and no-one got sick :-) ! India is completely

    full of surprises, an assault to all senses, and more diverse than can be imagined. The people were lovely. I will copy IJ onto this email and also take the opportunity on behalf of my family to

    Introducing the TigerPaws Catalogue July 2014 December 2015. Life altering journeys India, and her wonderful neighourhood.

    It is our endeavor and commitment at TigerPaw Adventures India to ensure that we take you to places, ecosystems and people yet unchanged, in

    this rapidly changing world. Our constant ability to discern what is "different, unusual and rewarding " ensures that you have an unforgettable, one-of-

    a-kind adventure. Having first incorporated in India in September 1982, TigerPaw Adventures has crossed the 25-year mark in the Sub Continent.

    TigerPaw Adventures India-Mission :

    To aim to be the best in the field of sustainable eco tourism and pure travel adventure combines, capturing those diverse segments of the

    national and international exotic holiday market, that seek singular services, and the pure travel experience.

    Further: to accomplish the above by building on our record of excellence in offering multiple destination venues, and trip missions deploying

    diverse ground knowledge skills and theme objectives, and by inculcating in our staff a sense of pride in our unique abilities, achievements,

    international repute, and their role in this.

    We hope you will entrust us with the responsibility of creating and conducting a memorable discovery trip and adventure holiday for you.

    India is a nation which has over twenty two official languages, fifteen hundred and seventy six classified mother tongues, and four hundred

    and fifteen living languages, representing a tremendous potpourri of people and cultures with their roots all the way from Central Asia, to Africa, as

    well as Europe, and one where a clash of civilizations brings about transformational change on a near daily basis. India in 2014 once again deserves

    the close attention of the world. In the closing phase of the year past, a singular accomplishment made a certain set of experts around the world

    suddenly sit up and take notice.

    These experts were space scientists from around the world, for rarely had there been a successful first launch to Mars the Red Planet.

    Western experts remarked and waxed eloquent on the remarkable financial thrift along with the scientific skill displayed by Indias Space Research

    Organization.

  • Not many in the west, and indeed few Indians are aware of the far seeing scientific vision and acumen made by the father of Indias Space

    Program Dr. Vikram Sarabhai. Few abroad know too, the story of Indias 11th President, a muslim aeronautical expert who played a key role in later

    years in Indias space research. Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalaam helped make India a recognised expert in the launch of space satellites, launching infact for

    European nations amongst others.

    As showcased on CNNs GPS Program by Fareed Zakaria, in the event the Indian democratic experiment works, it will give much hope to

    numerous other countries because of the passing of power to the people. This, in sharp contrast to the China model. Few know that countries like

    Switzerland and England, only allowed voting for the female population long after Indira Gandhi became one of the worlds first female prime

    ministers! Or that in Indias north east, a matriachal society ensures that title and lands pass onto the eldest daughter of the house and that a man

    assumes the wifes surname!

    This is the unique contradiction that is India and the many social ills, gender, and regional imbalances, food deprivation and poverty defy

    at times the unique accomplishments that India and Indians represent. Infact the ancient values and skills, posess an eternal quality which is what is at the root of successes as those achieved by India, in space. For, the realm of space is one which is discussed at length in ancient Indias holy

    texts.

    What happens in India impacts its neighbours. It is little wonder that there were democratic movements in the Royal Kingdom of Bhutan and

    the Monarchy insisted the country go the democratic route. Along with these developments, far reaching social changes effected by changing many

    archaic law from colonial times, including law protecting women, food security for Indias poor, and anti-corruption were introduced in 2013. These

    signify the sweeping change desired by the public, another telling example of the metamorphosis that India has undergone, largely unnoticed in the

    west.TigerPaws therefore invites you to visit India in Fall 2014-Winter 2015, to see what makes this country truly tick. Today, ancient

    traditions and skills juxtaposed against the march of modernity. Most importantly, the three decade history and experience of TigerPaws, along

    with cutting edge travel programs which have social relevance, community elevation and biodiversity protection, hallmarks, that you, the TigerPaws

    traveller experiences, when buying one of our trips. This history includes the company's close association with the escape of the Dalai Lama from

    Tibet, the achieving of the prestigious 1995 BioDiversity Conservation Award,BCN Wash.DC and first descents on the Lohit River in ArunachalPradesh for the Indian Army Team it trained and conducted.See our website for our detailed history, achievements and awards.

    Here are a selection of trips which we hope you will find of tremendous interest. We look forward to letting us help you plan your visit to the Sub Continent which includes Indias neighbouring countries as well. The website will answer most of your other questions, else you merely have to ask.

    ANIMAL KINGDOMS OF CENTRAL INDIA, AND NORTHERN INDIAS GOLDEN

    TRIANGLE

    This itinerary explores the rich vein of biodiversity in the heart of India, spending nights

    at deluxe lodges. In the south, the tropical green is at contrast to the dry forests of the

    north especially in summer. Between the two zones, very special encounters with the

    royal Bengal tiger, the asiatic elephant and bird life of the region await. In addition,

    numerous smaller but equally interesting species of the Indian jungle ranging from sloth

    bear, spotted deer, nilgai or blue bull, rhesus macaque, and possibly, the rare caracal,

    civet cat and others, may just be spotted.

    Along with these highlights, the amazing monuments of a bygone era, including Jaipur in

    Indias desert Kingdom of Rajasthan with both its ancient grandeur as well as modern buzz, before the calm of the south, provide you with the contrasting shades, that India is

    all about.

    The entire trip was tremendous fun, including the elephant jungle safaris and seeing Indias spectacular wildlife. Seeing so many tigers in particular was something only TigerPaw could have pulled off!

    EAST INDIA

    The rich wildlife of Indias sanctuaries and national parks located in the different states include noteworthy ones in the central region or heartland of India.

    Madhya Pradesh (Central India) is the second largest State of India in terms of its size.

    Right in the heart of India. Blessed with thick green forests and a large variety of

    Wildlife Madhya Pradesh is nature's trough. Kanha and Bandhabgarh national parks

    have been very famous national parks around the world. The king of the forest may be

    easily sighted at Kanha and Bandhavgarh. Equally at home in the Jungles of Kanha and

    Bandhavgarh is the Gaur who does not fear the tiger.

    Dampa Wild Life Sanctuary which is a Project Tiger is situated at the western part of

    Mizoram along the international border with Bangladesh at a distance of 127Km from the capital of Aizawl.

    Dampa consists of moist deciduous forest at lower reaches and evergreen and semi-evergreen forests with natural grassland at higher

    altitudes. It is the largest sanctuary of Mizoram notified in 1985 covering an area of 500 Sq. km which later became a Project Tiger in 1994.

    The list of animals found in the area includes Tiger, Sloth Bear, Leopard, Elephants, Sambar, Barking Deer, Hoolock Gibbon, Giant Squirrel,

    Flying Squirrel, Wild Dog, Wild Pig, Porcupine, Slow Loris, Gaur, Leaf monkey, Capped langur, Rhesus macaque, and some species of small cats.

    So far 215 birds have been recorded here and an ardent birder is likely to find more.

    This Itinerary explores Kanha National Park, Bandhavgarh National Park, Khajuraho ,Shivpuri and Dampa Tiger Reserve.

    WILDLIFE OF SOUTHERN INDIA, AND ISLAND HOLIDAY IN THE ANDAMAN ISLANDS

    Andaman: The Andaman and Nicobar Islands were shrouded in mystery for centuries because of their inaccessibility. They are a paragon of beauty and present a landscape

    replete with scenic and picturesque splendor. The Islands are the emeralds of the Bay

    of Bengal. The dense forests covering these islands and the innumerable exotic fish,

    flowers and birds paint a most colorful landscape along with white beaches on the edge

    of a meandering coastline which has palm trees that sway to the rhythm of the sea.

    During the British Raj India's revolutionaries considered too dangerous to the interests

    of the Raj, and other dreaded criminals were deported from the mainland to the Cellular

    Jail an Indian Gulag, situated on the sea coast of Atlanta Point in the North-Eastern part

    of Port Blair. Thus these islands were infamously known as the 'Black Water Prison' or

    'Kala Pani'.

    The following itinerary explores the richest vein of biodiversity in the heart of India. In

    the south, the tropical green will be at in contrast to the dry forests of the north

    experiencing summer. Between the two zones, very special encounters with the royal

    Bengal tiger and the Asiatic elephant and bird life of the region await.

    In addition numerous smaller but equally interesting species of the Indian jungle ranging from sloth bear, spotted deer, nilgai or blue bull,

    rhesus macaque, and possibly, the rare caracal, civet cat and others, may just be spotted.

    The geo-climatic diversity of the Indian sub-continent has nurtured and sheltered a whole range of wildlife with over 350 species of

    mammals and 1200 species of birds in the country. While there is an overlap in the habitats of many species, each region has something

    special too. Two of India's most impressive animals, the Bengal/Indian Tiger and the Asiatic Elephant are found in most regions. Both, the

    tiger and a herd of elephants in the wild are an awesome sight!!! Today, most of India's wildlife finds refuge in over two hundred sanctuaries

    and parks around the country. The following Itinerary includes some of the more important ones in the South of India.

    Bharatpur, one of Asia's most outstanding wetland reserves, along with a

    productive stretch of the perennial Chambal River and the semi-desert of

    Ranthambhore, provides an excellent introduction to the resident and migratory

    birds of the north Indian plains.

    The tour begins in eastern Rajasthan at Ranthambhore National Park, where we

    have a good chance of Tiger on jeep drives in one of India's finest tiger reserves,

    while also enjoying an array of dry land species that thrive in the combination of

    acacia scrub, rocky outcrops and open plains. From here we move on to

    Bharatpur, undoubtedly India's most famous bird sanctuary whose artificial

    wetlands and the mosaic of habitats that surround them support an impressive

    number of water birds, raptors and passerines. We end the tour with an

    exploration of the Chambal River, one of India's cleanest waterways and of

    crucial importance to a distinctive avifauna, and Ganges River Dolphin, one of India's most endangered mammals.

    An interesting tour that samples a variety of habitats and their associated species, and provides a glimpse of a rich culture and history with a

    visit to India's most iconic monument, the Taj Mahal. Excellent opportunities for sightings of two if India's most sought after mammals, with

    birding particularly productive during the winter months when resident species are augmented by large numbers of migratory birds, whose

    presence is most conspicuous as large congregations of waterfowl that gather in the region's wetlands.

    The rich wildlife of Indias sanctuaries and national parks located in the different states include noteworthy ones in the central region or heartland of India. In the North East, the

    frontier wilderness of Assam is experienced on the vast Brahmaputra river cruise. The Son of

    Bhrama from where the river takes its name is often 20 or 30 km across, a world of sand

    spits and water with marvellous bird life and the occasional but Gangetic Dolphin. Off this

    cruise we are able to visit one of Indias greatest National Parks, Kaziranga. Between the central Indian and Assam regions one will have seen the royal Bengal tiger, sloth bear, stag,

    wild Asiatic elephant and the one horned rhinocerous.

    ASSAM CRUISES, BRAHMAPUTRA. Wildlife and wilderness are the main features of a cruise in Assam on the vast Brahmaputra river the river bed is often 20 or 30 km across, an empty world of sand spits and water with marvellous bird life and the occasional Gangetic Dolphin.

    The cruises here also give access to a number of Indias National Parks, including Kaziranga, perhaps the finest of all, and Manas, a Project Tiger reserve on the Bhutan border

    Madhya Pradesh (Central India) is the second largest State of India in terms of its size. Right in the heart of India, it is blessed with thick

    green forests and a large variety of Wildlife Madhya Pradesh is nature's trough. Kanha and Bandhavgarh national parks have been very

    famous national parks around the world. The king of the forest may be easily sighted at Kanha and Bandhavgarh. Equally at home in the

    Jungles of Kanha and Bandhavgarh is the Gaur who does not fear the tiger.

    From her second trip The entire trip was tremendous fun, including the elephant jungle safaris and seeing Indias spectacular wildlife. Seeing so many tigers in particular was something only TigerPaw could have pulled off!

    The coastal regions of Kerala have a network of waterways, inlets, estuaries, lakes

    and natural canals connecting coastal towns. This interlinked body of waterways is

    known as the backwaters in Kerala, over 900 km of which is navigable. Travelling in

    traditional houseboats along these backwaters to enjoy the scenic landscape is a

    wonderful experience.

    The leisurely cruise along the famous backwaters of Kerala gives one a first hand

    experience of the village life style in the state and its rustic activities like coir-

    making and prawn farming. You cannot miss the breathtaking view of the water,

    land, birds and human habitation on the water side, coexisting peacefully.

    On a cruise, your world is a spacious houseboat all your own, your senses filling

    with silence and space, at their purest and most alluring. So lean back on a cushion

    and glide beneath the inverted bowl of the sky. Look outside, look within. Look beyond both. The Japanese call it Satori. And it is available here at your leisure.

    The following itinerary explores the richest vein of biodiversity in the heart of India, spending nights at deluxe lodges. In the south, the tropical

    green will be at in contrast to the dry forests of the north experiencing summer. Between the two zones, very special encounters with the royal

    Bengal tiger a the asiatic elephant and bird life of the region await. In addition numerous smaller but equally interesting species of the Indian

    jungle ranging from sloth bear, spotted deer, nilgai or blue bull, rhesus macaque, and possibly, the rare caracal, civet cat and others, may just

    be spotted.

    RAJASTHANS BANESHWAR TRIBAL FAIR

    AN ENCOUNTER WITH THE FOREST AND NOMADIC TRIBES OF WESTERN INDIA

    Baneshwar Fair is organized in the month of January-February at a small delta

    formed by the river Som and Mahi in Dungarpur District, from Magh Shukla

    Ekadashi to Magh Shukla Poornima. The name Baneshwar is derived from the

    Shiva Linga in the Mahadev temple of Dungarpur, Rajasthan. Majority of the people

    who attend the fair are Bhils, a tribal community of Rajasthan. Bhils or tribal

    people from Dungarpur, Udaipur and Banswara constitute the major part of the

    gathering. The fair is very famous and is organised at a very large level. The pran-

    pratishtha ceremony of the idols to the temple was performed on Magh Shukla

    Ekadashi. Since then onwards a fair is organized every year to celebrate this

    auspicious event. The other celebrations of the Baneshwar Fair include magic shows, folk dances, acrobatic feats and animal shows.

    The Baneshwar fair is a combination of two fairs. One fair is organised to pay tribute to the Lord Shiva, known as Baneshwar Mahadev. And the

    other fair is held to celebrate the completion of the construction work for the Vishnu temple by Jankunwar, the daughter-in-law of saint Mavji.

    The priest or Mathadish arrives in a massive procession to the fair site from Sabha and takes a dip into the river. Then Aarti of the Mathadish is

    performed and Raslila are reenacted at the night in the Lakshmi Narayana temple.

    Dear Surjit & Inder Jit

    THE GOLDEN TEMPLE OF THE SIKHS:

    The Golden Temple , also known as Harmandir (also Darbar) Sahib was the inspiration of Guru Arjan Dev Ji the fifth Sikh Guru. In keeping with

    Sikh the pir to lay the foundation of Darbar Sahib in Jan, 1588. Characterised by its unique entrance doors facing all your directions of the

    compass, the Golden Temple welcomes everyone regardless of the religion or faith and services langar (free food) throughout the day. The

    sunning sanctum, shimmering in the water of the holy tank (sarovar), flanked by spotlessly clean marble walkways makes it breathtakingly

    beautiful.

    Dear Inderjit, Thank you so much for these greetings. I did forward your earlier email re the Sikh soldiers in World War ! on to some friends. And Sikhs have even been in my local newspaper. They printed a wonderful photo of a Sikh worshipper in the sacred pond at the Golden Temple in Amritsar. I think I am probably the only person in Port Angeles who has actually been there! It was a high point of my trip with Leslie and you. Best wishes to you and your family for 2014. Laurie Reeve

    NAGALANDS HORNBILL FESTIVAL

    The hornbill festival held in the first week of December shows that with its stunning

    natural beauty and great cultural traditions, Nagaland can offer a rich fare to

    tourists.

    NAGALAND, with its diverse tribal culture, is a land of festivals. A narrow strip of

    mountainous territory with rugged hills, emerald valleys, sparkling streams and a

    rich variety of flora and fauna, the 16th State of the Indian Union has salubrious

    climate throughout the year. It is bounded by Assam in the west, Myanmar in the

    east, Arunachal Pradesh in the north and Manipur in the south. Sometimes referred

    to as the `Switzerland of the East', Nagaland represents unimaginable beauty, moulded perfectly for a breath taking experience.

    The least explored and arguably most beautiful region of India, the northeast is connected to the rest of the country by a narrow stretch of

    land between Bhutan and Bangladesh, and was all but sealed off from the outside world until relatively recently. Arunachal Pradesh shares

    an extremely sensitive frontier with Chinese-occupied Tibet and, together with Nagaland, Manipur and Mizoram, a 1600km-border with

    Myanmar.

    In KOHIMA itself, whilst visiting the HORNBILL VILLAGE, we would be able

    to see typical village huts of all 16 Naga tribes living in NAGALAND and

    Border areas. We get a good idea as to how they all live. Their staple food

    is rice, generally cooked with meat or vegetables. They are fond of beef,

    pork, chicken, dogs, cats almost any living thing! Chillies are used in good

    quantity; milk is only now becoming popular. Rice Beer is produced locally

    and drunk by everyone. Salt is only now available.

    Naga villages were built on hilltops, a defensive strategy against inter

    village rivalries, and are fortified with stonewalls, bamboo spikes and

    wooden gates. The village always came first and the society was so organised that the basic requirements of food, clothing and shelter are

    guaranteed to all the members. There are no absentee landlords, and no

    class of landless peasents.

    Nagas are of sub-medium height, the facial index is very low, the nasal

    index corresponds to a medium nose, the hair is generally straight, the

    skin is brownish yellow. The eyes significantly do not show Mongolian

    form. Every group of Nagas has theories about their origin. The Angamis,

    Semas, Rengams and the Lotha's subscribe to the Kheza-Kenoma legend.

    Tribal dances are performed mainly during festivals, marriages and harvest. War dances, dance during festivals of each tribe and bamboo

    dance are some of the commonest. When the ritual is performed, the dancers are usually clothed in colourful costumes and jewellery.

    The tribes had been maintaining a life and tradition of their own different to other race. Contrary to the fact that they might not open up to the

    outside world, the Nagas' striking characteristics is their hospitality and cheerfulness.

    ISLANDS

    The Andaman Islands are a group of Indian Ocean archipelagic islands in the Bay of

    Bengal, between the Indian peninsula to the west and Burma to the north and east.

    Most of the islands are part of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands Union Territory of

    India, while a small number in the north of the archipelago, such as the Coco

    Islands, belong to Burma.Hike the twisting roads to Mount Harriet, once the

    summer resort of the British, to get a panoramic view of Port Blair and surrounding

    islands like Ross Island, Viper Island and Jolly Buoy Island. The interesting fact

    about the Andamans is that you dont even have to travel far and wide to witness marvels of nature. Look outside your window to catch the sparkle of the

    lighthouses sprinkled on neighboring isles or spot the unique Emerald Nicobar Pigeon flying by gracefully.

    Walking the white sands of Asias best beach Radhanagar on Havelock Island is an experience in itself. The turquoise water is so clear that you can see the flora and fauna on the sea bed. For spectacular corals, wade in to the water and theyll be right there. Underwater adventures at the Jolly Buoy and the Red Skin Islands are a must, even for the uninitiated. Snorkel or scuba dive into the mesmerizing

    unexplored world of colourful fish and intriguing coral reefs. Due to incidents of exploitation in the past, visiting Jarawa tribal territory is now

    banned. For an insight in to their lives, visit the Anthropological Museum in Port Blair.

    The one truly magical island around Port Blair which is definitely not to be missed is "the Havelock", known for its warm azure blue and very pleasant tropical

    sea with enchanting virgin beaches of white sands. And as I thought it was / will be an unforgettable journey for both of us

    Kerala is home to some of the best beaches and backwaters in the world. It is also the

    home of beautiful temples like the Swami Ayyappa Temple, various churches, synagogues

    etc. in Kerala. Kovalam Beach is a very popular beach of untold beauty. Kerala is well

    known for its ayurvedic treatments and spas. Alleppey is full of lagoons, backwaters, canals, coir factories and lovely nature with lush green plantations.

    Kovalam is an internationally renowned beach with three adjacent crescent beaches. It

    has been a favourite haunt of tourists, especially Europeans, since the 1930s. A massive

    rocky promontory on the beach has created a beautiful bay of calm waters ideal for sea bathing.

    Munnar is situated at the confluence of three mountain streams - Mudrapuzha,

    Nallathanni and Kundala. 1,600 m above sea level, this hill station was once the summer

    resort of the erstwhile British Government in South India. Sprawling tea plantations,

    picture-book towns, winding lanes and holiday facilities make this a popular resort town.

    To explore the historic town of Fort Kochi, there is no better choice than setting out on foot. Relax, breathe deep and come out in cotton

    dresses, soft shoes and yes - a straw hat. At each and every nook of this island steeped in history, there is something amusing awaiting you. It

    is a world of its own, retaining the specimens of a bygone era and still proud of those days. If you can smell the past, nothing can stop you from walking through these streets.

    water, local organic food and fresh clean air, I felt completely rejuvenated. For the more active, you can experience rock climbing, hiking or

    river-rafting. Otherwise, relax and enjoy therapies such as Reflexology and Massage and soak in the sunshine on the white sand beach. Excellent

    TRIP SPT 041 EXPLORING INDIAS BUDDHIST HERITAGE SITES AND THE SPIRITUAL CITY OF VARANASI In the ancient text the Mahaparinirvana sutra, the Buddha informs his followers

    that to attain merit and a noble rebirth, they should by go on pilgrimage to this

    birthplace (Lumbini), and also where he gained enlightenment (Bodhgaya), first

    taught (Sarnath), and attained Nirvana (Kushinagar).

    Lumbini: Lumbini in southern Nepal is where Queen Mayadevi gave birth to Prince

    Siddhartha. It is just a short distance from the Shakya capital of Kapilavastu.

    Pilgrimages focus on the sacred garden which contains the site of the birth, the

    Mayadevi temple, the Pashkarni pond and the Ashoka pillar.

    Bodhgaya: It was in Bodhgaya in Bihar, India that Prince Siddhartha found

    Enlightenment (nirvana) under the bodhi tree after meditating for 49 days. No

    longer a bodhisattva (mentor), he became Lord Buddha, the Enlightened One.

    Sarnath: Buddha gave his first sermon at Sarnath after achieving enlightenment, about 10 km from the ancient holy city of Varanasi. It was

    here that the Buddha established his first disciples (sangha) to promote his new doctrine. The splendid Dhamekha Stupa at Sarnath was

    originally erected by King Ashoka, as was the famous lion capital pillar, now the proud symbol of India.

    Kushinagar: At Kushinagar, Lord Buddha fell ill and left this world in 543 BC. His mortal remains were preserved in eight commemorative

    chortens, and then further distributed by King Ashoka into 84,000 stupas across his kingdom and beyond.

    The monuments of ancient India span aeons and showcases the workmanship of many

    an empire. Additionally, the architecture of colonial India, both oriental as well and

    European, showcases a rich variety of Mughal and English architecture, along with Indo

    Saracenic and Indo European styles. Each of these set in varying regions, one distinct

    from the other.

    The tour includes the temples of Tamil Nadu and the serene natural beauty of Kerala.

    Where food is served on banana leaves. Also included are the see food and Portuguese

    Christian architecture of Goa.

    The subject of the tour is vast and while we scratch the surface, we get a sense of the

    body on this visit. In the realm of architecture, amongst other monuments are those of

    the Ajanta and Ellora Caves near Aurangabad, which leave and indelible impression, as

    do the Ghats of Varanasi, a once in a lifetime experience, even for the most seasoned

    traveller.

    ensconced in myths and legends of the ancient (Puranic) era. The fair itself is so

    ancient that its precise origins are unknown. Like any other Indian Mela, you will

    see the people in their traditional colorful dresses enjoying themselves. Another

    novelty is Naga bavas /Sadhusas one sees them in Kumbh Mela.

    The Bhagoria is a Festival of Love (and elopement) where tribes of Central India,

    celebrate the annual crop yield after the winter harvest season comes to an end.

    The onset of spring and approaching Holi is the time for everyone, (Festival of

    Colors) celebrate. BHAGORIA is a riotous celebration of life and love marked by

    music, dance and colour.

    The tribal fairs based on the lunar calendar are particularly colorful.

    A big thank you to Tiger Paw for taking me for my third visit to the fabulous Bhagoria festivals in Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat. I have travelled extensively around the world and keep coming back because it is among the most colorful, exuberant and friendly festivals I have experienced anywhere. As a painter it

    One of the major festivals of the India, Holi is celebrated with enthusiasm and gaiety on

    the full moon day in the month of Phalgun which is the month of march as per Gregorian

    calendar. Holi festival may be celebrated with various names and people of different

    states might be following different traditional. But, what makes Holi so unique and

    special is the spirit of it which remains the same throughout the country and even

    across the globe, wheneverit is celebrated.

    The Festival of Holi is the Festival of Colors and unifies much of Hindu India in the

    north. It is the celebration of spring and harvest and is also a time to let ones hair down when ancient customs and the rigidity of tradition observed on a daily basis is

    abandoned. While there are many places where the festival of Holi is full of riotous color, the one at Vrindavan is particularly enchanting.

    CEO's CHALLENGE- LADAKH HIMALAYA-WALKING THE CHADAR-THE ICE WALK ON THE FROZEN ZANSKAR

    Walking on the frozen Zanskar river is an experience of a lifetime for adventure

    lovers. The traditional name "Chadar or sheet refers to the frozen pathway, which was the only way in and out for Zanskaris in winter, when all other routes are

    closed due to heavy snow. A trade route for centuries ,now the route is renowned for

    winter trekking among adventurers. Using trained local Zanskari porters and

    experienced guides, and we are able to see the least interfered with microcosms of

    Ladakh, and thus one of the last few surviving cultural satellites of Tibet.

    This geographical isolation together with the esoteric nature of Buddhism practiced here, has enabled its some ten thousand inhabitants to

    preserve and perpetuate their cultural identity. The Chadar trek allows you to penetrate this isolation and to examine some of the villages

    along the Zanskar river in the midst of winter. A visit to the ancient monastic establishments of Karsha and Zangla heightens ones insight of what lies behind the Zanskar Mountains, or the Inner Himalaya. Chilling and Lingshed are the only sizeable villages on this trek until

    Hanamur and Pidmo before Pishu and Zangla in Zanskar. The trek is a challenge for not just natives but for outsiders as well. TigerPaws uses

    its expertise to make the experience possible for the city slicker as a challenge for CEOs and others who may be interested in testing themselves in multiple ways.

    " Dear Inder Jit

    The trek was excellent in more ways than one and we all found it a most memorable experience. The high mountain journey over the Rohtang of course was

    an adventure unto its own! Your team and camp cook Sundar kept the TigerPaws pennant flying high"
