Following mother teresa and mahatma gandhi

Arrival Mumbai and then on you will be greeted at the airport in a traditional Indian way. We will check in to the hotel. After some rest and refreshments, we will head out for an afternoon tour of the engaging city of Mumbai. We will first visit the Cathedral of St. Thomas, built in 1718, which is the oldest Anglican Church in Mumbai. Afterwards, we will head to the Church of St. John the Evangelist, also known as the Afghan Church, as the British had commissioned it to honour the victims of the first Afghan War.

We step into the first footprints of Mahatma Gandhi now, by visiting the Mani Bhawan, the place from where we started his non-corporation with the British movement. Lastly, we will stop at Mother Teresa’s ashram called Asha Dham. Back to hotel for dinner and overnight stay.

We will transfer you to the Mumbai airport to board your flight to Porbandar, Mahatma Gandhi’s birthplace on the coast of the Arabian Sea in Gujarat. We check into the hotel and head out to explore the city and enjoy a beautiful Indian sunset over the ocean. Overnight at hotel.

On arrival in Ahmedabad, we transfer and check into the hotel. After a quick rest, we will visit the iconic Sabarmati Ashram, which is on the banks of the River Sabarmati. Gandhi was based out of this house from 1917 till 1930 and it is from here that he commenced the historic Salt March. This march took 24 days to reach the coast of Dandi, where they made salt, protesting the taxation imposed on salt by the British. Back to the hotel for overnight stay.

We will be staying at the peaceful and simplistic Sevagram Ashram, near Nagpur, which was Gandhi’s headquarters from 1933 to 1947. Gandhi lived just like the villagers here, without electricity and a phone, and built his hut himself using locally available materials. Please note that in keeping with Gandhi’s way of living, accommodation here is simple and on a triple sharing basis.

We will visit the ashram of Vinoba Bhave, who is considered to be the spiritual successor of Mahatma Gandhi. He was an advocate of nonviolence and human rights. Often called Acharya, he is best known for the Bhoodan Movement. We will then drive to Nagpur (60km) to catch the onward flight to Kolkata. Check into the hotel for overnight stay.

Today we head out for a day’s excursion to the nearby historic towns of Serampore and Chandannagar, former Danish and French colonies, respectively. Overnight at the hotel in Kolkata.

It was Delhi where Gandhi was assassinated in 1948 by Nathuram Godse, a nationalist and right-wing Hindu who blamed Gandhi for the partitioning of India. Today we will venture out for a full day tour of Delhi, visiting the iconic sites of Gandhi Museum and Raj Ghat, the resting place of Gandhi. Overnight at hotel.
