India Photo Tour
Regretably we have had to postpone our scheduled India tours for 2009/2010 season. Bookings are only open to private groups at this stage who wish to explore the riches of Rajasthan and beyond.
Rajasthan is the most colourful region in India, a land marked by powerful rulers, beautiful women and centuries of tradition. From the elegance of the sari to the comforts of the havali, our exploration of Rajasthan will bring you face to face with India. Starting in Mumbai we head north and journey across sand dunes, visit in villages and meander through markets. We conclude the adventure with evening and morning shoots at the Taj Mahal, the most romantic building ever built.

Feedback from Past Travellers
"My third trip with Ewen and Jason from Grasshopper Travels and
definitely not my last! Rajasthan is an amazing and confronting
region and this trip was packed full of highlights from the Thar
Desert to the bustling towns. With Ewen's guidance I was able to
photograph the wonderfully friendly people of the region and, along
with his forays down busy streets, temples and markets, I brought home
the best travel photos I have even taken. Once again the trip was
flawlessly planned and smoothly delivered. We stayed in former
palaces, tried out local restaurants and rode camels across the
desert. Jason even organised a cricket match with the eager people of
Mandawa. I can't recommend these two professionals highly enough -
for photographers or just those who like to travel to somewhere
different. Thanks guys for yet another wonderful adventure."
