Over the years, trips have been enriched with thematic circuits around Maharajas (dinner), national parks (tigers), major festivals (Puskhar, Kumba Mêla, etc.) and even encounters with Bollywood actors…
It was in 2006, after traveling this country for nearly 30 years and to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of Kuoniwhich I did on one of my last trips where, for about twenty special people, a trip inclusive of all that India has wonderfully to offer the imagination was put together: A Bollywood night at the mystical Taj Mahal in Bombay, a flight in a private plane to reach Jaisalmer, the fortified medieval city of Rajasthan on the edge of the Thar desert, reception and gala dinner accompanied by the Maharaja of Jaipur, fireworks and other surprises…
It can thus be summed up in a few lines how organized travel was born, most often accompanied and in groups, all components carefully identified, validated and with bitterly negotiated pleasure!
And yes, I’m talking to you about timing… that makes my work dream awake ! “.
