I'm searching for a travel companion to India
(5. 11. - 20. 11. 26)

I'm planning an offbeat journey through the rural heart of Jammu, Punjab,Himachal and Haryana to experience traditional North Indian village life. The idea is to explore lesser-known villages, remote settlements and small towns where old customs, religious traditions and community life are still practised. I'm particularly interested in experiencing the kind of old-school rural lifestyle associated with the 1980s — traditional homes, village courtyards, local food, farming, folk traditions and everyday life with local families. I'd love to explore Hindu temples, historic Sikh gurdwaras, places associated with the Sikh Gurus, forgotten heritage sites and villages with fascinating local histories. I'd also like to interact with villagers, listen to stories from elders, learn about regional customs and stay in genuine family-run homestays wherever possible. I'm interested in exploring rural border regions too, wherever civilian access is officially permitted and conditions are safe. This isn't a typical tourist trip. I want to travel slowly, discover places that rarely appear on tourist itineraries and understand the cultures and traditions of the people who live there. **Travel style:** Budget-friendly, slow travel, small group, authentic cultural experiences and flexible planning. **Looking for:** Female travel companions who enjoy history, spirituality, rural exploration and discovering unfamiliar places. Open to adults of any age. The dates, route and budget can be discussed together. Ideally, we'll connect beforehand, plan the itinerary as a group and make this a memorable cultural adventure!
