There will be shopping! and there will be elephants.  

Below, a one-day Blockprint Class for beginners, held October 2015

Fun was had by all!  And everyone went home with their own hand block printed napkins, tablecloths and cushion covers.

In October Andrée lead one of her Jaipur Elite Tours for a group of eight from Hong Kong.

We enjoyed a guided walk into the back lanes of the Old City to find bangle artisans, gem dealers and lots of bling, visiting the rooftop of a traditional Old City home and ending at a famous saree store for draping lessons!
