So we took this, as an opportunity to launch our first scavenger hunt, for only $30 which can be experienced by travelers in any location, which helps travelers explore their cities/towns/villages while getting immersed in the Indian culture, traditions and history.   And the best part, as we've mentioned before is that one winning team gets to spend 6 weeks in India experiencing our Social Travel: North India travel program worth over $1800.
