Featured Adventure - India. Dec 25 - Jan 10
This is one of those trips of a lifetime! Visit the sights in Delhi, ride a hot air balloon over Jaipur, travel to the countryside where we visit Ranthambore National Park and learn about its tiger conservation program. In the park we'll travel by safari truck looking for deer, gazelles, antelopes and monkeys. Although most accommodations are in hotels, for one night we take a camel ride (or cart if preferred) to our camp with canvas cottages (and private baths). In Agra we view the Taj Mahal by moonlight and then visit its interior the next morning. We'll witness a sacred light ceremony at the Ganges River in Varanasi, and experience many more fascinating activities on this special trip. Space is limited to 16 participants.
Includes: 14 breakfasts, 9 lunches, and 10 dinners, all land transports (private bus, safari truck, train, camel-back or cart, hot air balloon, rickshaw, Ganges cruise, and 2 internal flights), local guides, accommodations double occupancy or limited singles.

Harwood Lodge

Harwood Lodge was built in 1930 as a memorial to Aurelia S. Harwood, past president of the Sierra Club and Angeles Chapter leader. The lodge stands today as a place to get away from the city and enjoy the solitude of clear mountain air and blue skies.
