Thanks Vijay for a wonderful day trip on a Royal Enfield. Due to my time constraints we had to modify the plan, but I still managed to have a great experience on the road. Winding in and out of Kanchipuram, the silk Saree capital, we were greeted by groups of wedding parties in their vivid red and glistening gold sarees, illuminating the streetscape. There is nothing like exploring India on an Enfield, it is totally immersive, you are part of the action, see it, hear it, smell it, taste it, while feeling the thumping Enfield engine propel you along for more. Then into the sanctuary of the temple with informative descriptions by Vijay of the stories, legends and history of this very holy site. Thanks for a great day! James

I have been a lover of Indian food for 50 years and, on my first trip to India, my children gave me a private market-and-cooking-and-eating excursion with Priya as a birthday present. It was perfect. Priya was right on time and, after a visit to buy vegetables at a nearby famers market, we "went home to cook." I ground some masalas, made coconut chutney on a traditional stone grinder, made my own dosas, etc. It was a fantastic experience. Priya knows how to teach beginners, but she was also wonderful at adapting to my higher level of knowledge. One of my best memories of India!
