Gardening Tours- India 2010

March 3rd – March 15th, 2010

This Tour is Confirmed to Go! We have reached our minimum so do not miss this One Off tour! Air to book will be Delhi return.

India, most incredible India … the national fruit is the mango, the national tree is the Ficus bengalensis or the banyan tree and the national flower is the Lotus. Just like the Lotuses, prized for their serene beauty, the Taj Mahal is also prized for its beauty, beauty made as a result of a grief stricken Emperor Shahjahan as a memorial to his beloved wife Mumtaj Mahal. This is a very special one of a kind garden tour as it will focus on some incredible gardens and sights.
