If a journey to India is on your bucket list, this talk offers a compelling introduction to the Chautauqua Travels trip to India in 2026. Amit Taneja, staff host for the journey, will share key highlights and lived experiences that illuminate India’s rich cultural history, complexity, and vibrancy.


The conversation will also explore the important distinction between group travel that centers on surface-level cultural voyeurism and travel designed for deeper cultural immersion and meaningful engagement. Along the way, participants can expect to have some of their assumptions about India thoughtfully challenged.
A potential second trip to India is being planned for March 2028, making this talk an ideal opportunity to learn more, ask questions, and begin imagining what such a journey might offer.
