The Hindu Festival of Holi - is a festival of colours. It is celebrated in March to welcome the Spring and to pray for a good harvest & fertility of the land. Experiencing the festivity, liveliness and exuberance that are part of this festival makes the Spring trip to North India unique and special. Visiting the Taj Mahal in Agra, Fatehpur Sikri (the political capital of the Mughals during Emperor Akbar's reign), the old forts and palaces that date back to the early 14th century of Delhi and the more recent architecture of the Rajputs in the desert state of Rajasthan introduces one to the fusion architecture of the Muslim and Hindu eras and much more.

Elephant Ride would like your experience to be similar to that of someone visiting your home. Therefore, we have created a unique immersion program that will help you to connect with the local people and help you "view India from the eyes of an Indian."

Your Elephant Ride travel companion, called the Mahout would be an Indian native with a vast knowledge about India and her history and culture; and yet with an extensive Hospitality experience in the US.
