Schedule in India, Careful Considerations

Hello Everyone,

One of the benefits of this trip is that we originally narrowed down the thousands of wonderful options to a manageable handful of activities that will make this trip amazing. And we also left some time open so you could rest, relax, or see something on your own that you really want to see.

With the opportunity to study with His Holiness the Dalai Lama appearing as a more likely outcome, we're observing that our days in Dharamsala have now become quite full. Originally, we had scheduled to mornings with activities and the afternoons free so that you would have time to rest, process, and do some quieter activities on your own. Now that His Holiness is teaching, we understand you are still trying to figure out how to fit in the lovely opportunities to see Nobulinka, the Tibeatan Children's village and other activities.

There may not be a lot of time during the day for relaxation, rest and preparation for the next leg of the trip to Rewalsar/Tso Pema, which is the most rigorous part of our schedule (two days with bus travel, optional hiking, events in the morning and afternoons). While we want you to experience many aspects of India, we do not want you to have such a hectic schedule that you do not have time to relax, enjoy, and simply process all that you have seen.

I have discussed this with Scott and Pam and we are working in the background to see if we can offer you more possibilities to help you fit in the things you want to do in Dharamsala AND stay rested enough to fully enjoy the rest of the trip. As soon as we have done some research and know the possibilities, we will get back to you with more information.
