About The Trail

By the holy river that is deep rooted in history, we dove into an experience that was woven by literature, art and tradition. In the pleasant pre-winter air, a journey by the riverbanks led to peace of inner soul. Seeking purity, we discovered the purest feeling of all ? Passion.

The most worshipped place in the world where culture and history still reside amidst the people and in the serene sound of bells, soulful chants and most importantly in the divine mother of all – Ganga. Enthusiasts explored what more the riverbanks had to offer on a six-day trail from Devprayag to Varanasi led by renowned historian and our Experience Architect, Dr. Pushpesh Pant

From witnessing the first traces of human evolution to a journey back to 3rd Century BC, followed by a rendezvous with Chanderi, discovering the hidden gem of Central India Orchha, and witnessing the majestic grace of Khajuraho’s 1000 year old architecture – the Culture & Heritage Trail, Madhya Pradesh offered a multitude of historically rich experiences for our experience seekers. Have a look!
