TOUR OVERVIEW:

India, the Civilization which began in the valley of the Indus River, has grown today to be the world’s largest democracy. Since the past, India has been reined by great powers who have added to the beauty, prosperity, culture, and intellect of the country. The reigning powers constituted of the Maurya Dynasty, the Gupta Dynasty, the Gazni Dynasty, the Mamluk Dynasty, the Tughlaq Dynasty, the Lodhi Dynasty, the Mughal Dynasty, the Marathas, the Peshwas, etc. Many structures built by these powers are exquisite in its architecture and at present stand as famous historical monuments. Most of the tour packages in India include viewing of such historical structures, monuments, artifacts, etc. People believe that these monuments stand as testimony and tell the tale of the progression of India. What fails to come to our notice is the fact that these structures while commissioned by those few who were in power, were accomplished by a large number of common people and artisans who are not known to anyone. While the rulers were appreciative of art, the poor were performers of that art. We are happier that finally, people are starting to understand that even though the magnificent structures and historically well-known places tell a story, the people who are alive and are artisans for their lifetime are much good storytellers. And as such, they have more to tell us and more to show us about the history and culture of India through their daily life. This awareness in people has slowly created a demand for tourism which involves a closer look at the lifestyles of the local people who have been artisans for generations. And thus Village tourism in India is evolving as an important aspect of the Tourism industry.

When the Mughals ruled India, they tried not to disrupt the lifestyle and culture of the common people, they only added on to it. However, it was a different scenario when the British colonized India. They had brought some warranted and some not so much warranted changes within the country. With respective of the British interference, or rather despite them, deep within some rural spaces in India, remain some communities, some tribes, which have been unaffected by the exterior changes. Neither the invading foreign powers nor Globalization has had much effect on these places. These spaces are the real crux of India and are the torch bearers of the age-old traditions and cultures. They are not bribed by modernity, and when we visit them, they give the feel as if time has stopped still.
