Known for it's beauty and myterious past, India hold the distinction as being host to one of the 8 wonders of the world, "The Taj Mahal." However, India also possesses a new secret, one that needs to be shared.

This secret was revealed recently to seven strangers; six from the United States and one hailing from Canada.  Each were welcomed to India by gracious hosts and treated to a first-class visit that included personal tours, educational discussions, fine dining and exceptional shopping.
