Giri at 1600 hours on 16th October

How does one plan for a vacation that is not so much about travelling and staying in some new destination but is more about experiencing the atmosphere which the place, its inhabitants, their culture, the art-forms and the food styles can offer? This question is increasingly troubling me as I find that in India, there are many standard options for vacations, but very little that one can plan for on limited budgets, taking into account a reasonable factor of safety and comfort in travel and stay.

Travel portals and resorts offer very little in terms of information on options and alternatives to different classes of tourists. Customised tourism is a concept whose time is yet to come in India. Or has it? If so can I know a little more about how this is spreading its wings in India?

So as I continue to explore plans to spend my next vacation, I wish you all a great week ahead.
