Culture in the heart of India 11D/10N

Maharashtra is an ancient region inhabited for centuries and hence a place where much of the culture of this country has been developed… a place where much of the tumultuous history of India, both war and political, has played out. The UNESCO World Heritage sites of Elephanta caves with their ancient carvings (dating back to the 5th-8th century), the famous Ajanta and Ellora cave complex (2nd century BC onwards), the 3rd century BC Pandavaleni caves, and the ancient temples en route give us a great peek into the culture of this land that have contributed to the enduring culture of India. The various forts and monuments take us on a journey back in time to get a glimpse of the history of this great land and the wars fought over territory, wealth and freedom… And after a dose of the heady brew of culture and history, kick back your shoes and relax in the invigorating mountain air of the hills in Lonavala. Come Beyonder with us on a trip to get a glimpse of all this in an immersive experience, while also enjoying the pleasures of the modern cities of Mumbai and Pune…
