TRAVERSE 20
a part of the adventure as the adventure is of you . The people embrace , they laugh with you , they encourage and they in turn learn more about your culture and way of doing things than you can imagine . Requests for photographs are as common as questions about your home , the feeling of celebrity certainly lingers . Offerings of food , drink , and well wishes are plentiful , it all becomes exhausting although never tiring . It ’ s an introduction to a fascinating land with people and culture even more so .
The Travel Scientists run a number of Rickshaw Challenges in varying locations ranging in duration from seven to fourteen days , costs are reasonable starting at around AU $ 2100 , a bargain when split between three people , although we ’ d recommend upping the package to at least include hotels . Packages range from the basic through to Deluxe which includes a pimped Tuk Tuk and swish hotels plus everything else taken care of .
It ’ s an interesting way to discover the wonders of India , to challenge your beliefs , and to make friends from far off lands … and who knows , you might come home with the undisputed Rickshaw Challenge World Champion trophy .
