TWO WAYS TO EXPERIENCE INDIA India is a vast and varied land, far too large for any one tour to capture even a fraction of its diverse wonders. UW Alumni Tours has two great ways to explore the Subcontinent this fall. India: Splendors of the South (Oct. 10–25) takes you on a small-group journey off the beaten track to experience culture, history and daily lives in the world’s most populous democracy. Mystical India (Nov. 13–29) is your ticket to India’s legendary Golden Triangle—bustling Delhi, ornate Jaipur, and Agra, home of the sublime Taj Mahal.
