MYSTICAL INDIAWith RanthamboRe tigeR PReseRve

March 4-20, 2018

Dear Carolina Alumni and Friends,

Join fellow Tar Heels and friends on a special 17-day tour to India. Enjoy visits to sites steeped in history, with art and architecture that reveal domestic and foreign influences on India’s culture.

Highlights of the tour include the historic districts of Old and New Delhi, one ancient and the other built by the British; Agra, stronghold of the medieval Mughal Empire and home to the sublime Taj Mahal; and Jaipur, the “pink city” in the princely state of Rajasthan. Enjoy a two-night stay at Ranthambore Tiger Preserve, home to the elusive Bengal tiger. Visit pastoral Kalakho and meet local Meena tribespeople. Finally, explore Varanasi, India’s holiest city, experiencing life along the sacred Ganges. An optional 5-day/4-night post-tour extension to beautiful Nepal is also available.

We are very pleased to be sharing this departure with alumni and friends from the William & Mary Alumni Association. With space for only 24 guests in total, we expect this tour to fill quickly. Book today and secure your place on this memorable tour of India!

Yours at Carolina,

Douglas S. Dibbert ’70 President, UNC General Alumni Association
