Culture shock rating
Worried we’re going to shock your senses? Relax! We believe part of the fun of travel is immersing yourself in the destination and its culture, meeting the people, and learning what makes the place tick. We’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The cultural shock rating ranks how different the experience is from most Western cultures. But no matter the level, don’t worry, you’ll have a local, in-the-know guide with you every step of the way.
Low
Consider these tours your 101 intro to a place. Transportation might be private or a very comfortable public option, and the activities are usually visits to iconic sites and locations that are familiar to most Western cultures – but that will still give you fantastic insight into a destination.
Medium
Expect to rough it for parts of this tour, whether that’s on a packed public bus or in a local market off the tourist trail. There might be a few language barriers or unfamiliar cultural customs, and you’ll get an experience different from what you're used to at home.
High
You're out there in the global community! We’re going to take you down streets you’d rarely explore on your own, introduce you to local customs and languages, and take you for a ride in whatever transport is available. Get ready to take it as it comes, whatever comes. There might be a shock, but oh man, it’s worth it.

Physical rating
Worried our tours are too tough? Relax! From leisurely strolls to muscle-burning treks, we’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The physical grading gives you an idea of how much huffing and puffing you can expect on the tour.
Low
Slow and steady is all you need here. These tours have very limited physical activity, such as walking relatively flat streets, sites, or markets, and climbing in and out of the transport provided.
Medium
Not too hard, not too soft, these tours are just right! You can expect a bit of physical activity, but nothing overly challenging – perhaps walking up and down hills, riding a bike for up to 30 kilometers along mostly flat terrain, or jumping in a kayak for a gentle paddle on flat water.
High
Get ready for a workout! These tours are our most challenging and involve intense walking, hiking, kayaking, swimming, or bike riding. You could be making steep climbs by foot or pedal, or working your core in the water. We recommend you have a good level of fitness to join this tour.

We’ll kick off your online experience with a round of introductions, so you can get to know your guide and other guests on the tour. We’ll then give you an overview of mandala art, including what it is, the various types and its religious and cultural importance in India. More than just artwork, mandala drawing is actually a form of meditation that can help to clear your mind, build patience, and give you a sense of peace and positive energy.
Your Indian host will tell you about their own journey in mandala art and meditation, and show you some of their own personal art pieces.
Even if you’re not an artist, by the end of the online class, you’ll be able to draw your own mandala. Your host will show you how to make a mandala grid, and will explain the basic patterns, the relevance of different shapes, and how to use the grid for symmetry. They’ll also explain how to use your breath while creating patterns, and how to make use of the environment around you for shape inspirations. Your host will check in on you while you’re drawing, and you’re free to ask questions as you go.
Once you’ve drawn your mandala, you’ll learn how colour can be added and how it adds another layer of therapy, such as using green to bring calmness. You’ll also learn how the colours you choose can help you to better understand yourself.
Afterwards, your host will send you worksheets so you can continue to practice making mandalas on your own.
You’ll need: Geometry kit with protractor, scale and compass, pencil, eraser, sharpener, black fine-tip pen, paper (ideally A4 white or art sheet), colored pencils/markers/crayons in any color you love (optional).
