Delhi City Tour.......  Taj Mahal Experience.....  Massive fort of Gwalior.....  Elephant Ride at Amber Fort... and on top of that 4 Cricket Matches...!!   Sounds like a lot of fun....   Right..??

At the India Gate
We at Ashoka Holidays try our best to come up with innovative tourism related products to give a new and wonderful experience to our foreign guests. Recently we had organized a 'Sports Tour' for a group of 21 people from South Africa who came in contact with us through our website www.sportstoursindia.com. The group comprised of 13 players, 1 coach, 2 team managers and 5 supporters all belonging to various provinces of South Africa and playing together as cricket club called Afrikaner Volkseie Sport. 

After arriving in India on 07th December 2012 this group stayed in Delhi for 3 Nights where they saw some popular tourist spots like Qutub Minar, Red Fort, Humayun's Tomb etc. We also took the group to the famous Akshardham Temple. On 09th December we saw an impressive game of Cricket when this U-19 cricket team played against Delhi Public School (RK Puram, Delhi) at the school grounds. 
At the Taj Mahal

After this we made the group to travel to Agra to see the epitome of love - The Taj Mahal. The group comprising mostly High School Students showed a lot of interest in knowing the history and fact and figures of this beautiful marble palace like structure. 

Playing at the Scindia School, Gwalior
The next destination for us was Gwalior where we saw the massive fort and the famous Scindia Palace. If was a nice experience for the group to know about the royal lifestyle of earlier days. On 12th December we made them play a cricket match against the very renowned Scindia School. The school being on a hill top had a beautiful ground and offered a very good cricketing experience for the foreign students. 

At Step By Step School
The last destination on our list for this tour was Jaipur where we made them stay for 3 nights. On day one we  did a full day city tour of Jaipur that included Amber Fort, Jantar Mantar, City Palace etc. The group also did a elephant ride at the Amber Fort. On 14th December we made them play a 40 over cricket match against Step By Step International School, Jaipur and on 15th December another match against Rukmani Birla Modern High School, Jaipur. This was a good opportunity for the Indian Schools to interact with foreign students and know about the academics and sports curriculum in that part of the world. 

At an Indian Residence
In order to give them a better insight of Indian culture and its diverse traditions, Ashoka Holidays had also arranged for these students to visit an Indian residence, meet Indian family and enjoy home-made Indian delicacies.

Such type of a tour gives a better experience to the travelers as it breaks the monotony of just cricket or only sightseeing. Apart from cricket, Ashoka holidays which is a leading travel agent of Rajasthan is also planning to offer inbound sports touring facilities for football, tennis and local Indian games like Kho-Kho and Kabbadi. Such endeavors provide opportunity to the international students to learn more about the game as well as sharpen their playing skills.

Ranthambore – An adventurous stay in a jungle

This year had been an exciting year, not only I got to see two National parks in distinct  parts of India, (Read:Bandipur) but also in two discrete terrains with different adventure altogether. I was never a person who would enjoy watching these wild beasts in their natural habitat, but these two trips certainly changed my perspective. Perhaps it had to do with the fact that I was in a land where the rules were different, where a day was marked with sunrise and sunset. Perhaps it came from the knowledge that the survival is only of the fittest. Whatever the reason, the very sight of an animal in its own territory, on its own terms, makes for a breathtaking moment and can change your perspective forever.

The Ministry of Tourism, Government of India along with Federation of Associations of India Tourism & Hospitality (FAITH) is organising the first India Tourism Mart (ITM) – 2018 from September 16 – 18, 2018.

This national level event shall provide a common platform for buyers as well as sellers to exchange ideas and to increase business opportunities.

When I first thought of writing on the subject – Offbeat Destinations in India, I had somewhat structured my blog in my mind - picking one place from every corner of incredible India that I have visited, writing about it; Keeping it simple without making it too lengthy.  But as I started writing today, there was this incessant rain outside my huge French windows overlooking the Jaipur city.

Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon) is an island nation south of India in the Indian Ocean. It's diverse landscapes range from rain forest and arid plains to highlands and sandy beaches. It’s famed for its ancient Buddhist ruins, including the 5th-century citadel Sigiriya, with its palace and frescoes. The city of Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka's ancient capital, has many ruins dating back more than 2,000 years.

Luxury Holiday in Rajasthan

Rajasthan was earlier called Rajputana meaning the country of the Rajputs. Later after India gained independence in 1947 all its princely states integrated into India one after the other and the state was names as Rajasthan which means the Abode of the Rajas (Kings).

Buddhist Sector Tour in India

ABOUT BUDDHISM IN INDIA  

Indian subcontinent is the place where Buddhism originated and later became a major world religion. This religion is based on the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama who was born as a prince of the ancient Kapilavastu Kingdom which is now in Lumbini, Nepal.

Many significant places connected to the early days of this religion are there in India.

Jaipur Literature Festival 2015

An outsider who has never been part of the Jaipur Literature Festival wonders what goes on for five days in the Diggi Palace, a 16th century palace part of which has been turned into heritage hotel in Jaipur, Rajasthan. The entire venue transforms into a carnival of writers, poets, authors, journalists, publishers, celebrities and socialites all under the same roof.

Yes, it is that time of the year when the world’s greatest free literary show is held in Jaipur.

There is something so mystical and exciting about being in a forest that for many of us, a visit to the wilderness ranks as one of our best holiday experiences. Perhaps it has to do with the fact that we are in a land where the rules are different, where a day is marked with sunrise and sunset. Perhaps it comes from the knowledge that the survival is only of the fittest.

Indulge this festive season with our special Durga Puja holiday packages in various holiday destinations in India. October being the best time of the year to visit Rajasthan when the weather is neither too hot nor too cold, Rajasthan tour then is a great idea. Ashoka Holidays offers great deals and discounts on various vacation packages in Rajasthan. Don't miss our best value deals for other holiday destinations across India.

A short trip to Amritsar, Dalhousie and Dharamshala (6 Nights and 7 days)

Dharamshala Tour:

Whether it's the incessant spinning of Buddhist prayer wheels, the splendour of the surrounding mountains, or simply the divine presence of His Holiness the Dalai Lama (who holds public lectures few times in a year), this largest Tibetan enclave outside of Tibet, at Dharamsala draws seekers of spiritual enlightenment from all over the world.
