Global Context
Human history begins in Africa over 200,000 years ago before gradually spreading across the world.
Egypt along the Nile
Mesopotamia between the Tigris and Euphrates
The Indus Valley Civilization in current Northwest India, and Pakistan.
These three are called the “Cradles of Civilization”.
Settlements on the Indus River were easily the best-urbanized of the three cradles, distinguished by precise city planning, sophisticated drainage, standardized building systems, and remarkable civic engineering. The nation gets its name from the River.
There are very few places we can experience how they lived, and this journey follows the major sites of this Indus Valley Civilization across Haryana and Gujarat, visiting sites that they inhabited almost 5000 years ago. Besides Delhi and Ahmedabad, lodging is spartan by our standards, but comfortable, clean, and the best existing in the region.
Itinerary Note: You can experience both of the regions as the below itinerary does, or we can facilitate just a 7 Day Gujarat Excursion for Dholavira, the Great Rann, and Lothal.
