I traveled along as an Expedition Leader trainee for this
National Geographic Expedition.

Arrived in Delhi late at night as many flights do – the
airport was bright, modern and easy to navigate.
In each city we visited the incredible palaces and forts of bygone eras that somehow have
survived the ravages of time, hot summers, and pouring monsoon rains. India is a breathtaking jumble of life filled with stark contrasts and vibrant incongruities. You have to see it to believe it!
