A second Drol Kar Centre Pilgrimage to India tour is on the calendar for 2008 - November 6 - 26 to be precise. A twenty-one day adventure through Northern India, taking in some of some of India’s most renowned destinations and sacred sites from the life of the Buddha, can be your experience of a lifetime.
The 2008 tour will closely follow the itinerary of last year’s highly successful visit and will take in the sights of Delhi, Varanasi and Agra, the Buddhist holy places of Sarnath and Bodhgaya, and finish at Dharamsala and the fascinating hilltop town of McLeod Ganj, home to His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government in exile.
