KALI BHARAT YATRA: PASSAGE TO INDIA IN A PACKAGE

In the busy and lucrative travel industry package tours are dime a dozen. The concoction is simple. Popular places, good food, comfortable travel, cozy stay, promise of fun and excitement, etc, wrapped up always at an ‘unbelievable price.’ People desperately looking for a break from the monotony of routine work culture gobble up, pay and getaway. At the end of it they try to convince themselves about the ‘good time’ they had for a ‘good price.’

Most forget it soon, not bothering to wonder whether it was worth reminiscing. As an exception there are a few rare package tours that end up leaving a bundle of reminiscences on the relaxed minds and bodies of the members of the touring party. KALI BHARAT YATRA, a package tour to India, easily qualifies to this elite group of tours, going by the reactions and responses of the past travelers and expectations of the eager participants of the forthcoming tour.

Next on the schedule is ‘KALI BHARAT YATRA 2008’ spanning between Oct 19 and Nov 2, 2008.

If you are seriously thinking of a rejuvenating trip to India, it is worthwhile to take a look at impressions and salient features of the tour. Culture and tradition are the primary sources of reminiscences that enable unforgettable images down memory lane. Images that refresh the creative part of our beings, long after the passage of the event and not many know it better than RAMESH D. KALICHARRAN, CEO of KALI TRAVEL & TOURS, organizers of now legendary India5 package tours.

Popularly known as just KALI to his friends, followers and admirers, he is one of the most renowned cultural ambassadors of India, the land of sublime culture and fascinating tradition. Kali, the New York-based Guyanese business magnate breathes India and its culture, perhaps, more than the Indians themselves. He is a much honored community leader and a famous New Yorker, always busy nurturing India and its culture in the twin lands of the US and the Caribbean.

He is the chief architect of KALI BHARAT YATRA and that’s the reason every Yatra oozes with Indian culture and tradition, fun and happy times apart. He deftly packs culture, tradition, comfort, fun, excitement and everything else that’s necessary to make every Yatra a memorable one.

That’s where the money you pay for a KALI BHARAT YATRA is worth many times its face value. The expectations of the beginning are replaced by satisfactions of the end. When it is time to leave JFK airport, New York, on the return, the touring party is busy contemplating on the next YATRA.
And so, the legend of KALI BHARAT YATRA goes on. A true passage to India in a package!
Shri Prakash Gosai, Spiritual Guru (and Advisor to Hon.
Bharrat Jagdeo, President of Guyana) who accompanied the travelers of 2006 Yatra, says, “KALI BHARATYATRAis the best tool to explore and experience India.”

Famous Caribbean broadcaster Eshri Singh says, “My Yatra to India was most educative, informative and rewarding.”
S. Toolsie, Canada says, “India is our ultimate destination and you make it possible.”

Steve & Joyce Mahadeo, Trinidad, say, “Thank you Kali for removing all stops to ensure our joy and happiness of visiting our ancestral land. Thanks for the spiritual pilgrimage of our mother land.”

Savitri D. Goriah Grusha, RN, New Jersey, says, “It takes a wonderful person like you to take us to India. I’ll visit again, thanks Kali.”

Dr. Tara Singh, scholar, writer and community activist, says, “We know of no other person who has done more than you to improve relations between Indo-Caribbean and Indians across the globe.” Krishnamurthy Vishwanathan, an Indian travel professional, says, “I am a born Indian. I’ve not come across better planned tours. I recommend Kali Bharat Yatra to all.”

These are only some of the impressions. There are a lot more to talk and think about. Grateful tourists are never tired of talking about ‘KALI BHARAT YATRA.’

Government of India, Tourist Office has honored Kali for his outstanding efforts in promoting India through ‘DISCOVER YOUR ROOTS’ tours among the Indo-Caribbean community. In addition to guiding the Indo-Caribbean through the passage of India, Kali assists them to trace their roots in India. He has a platoon of well wishers in India to help him in this noble task.

Among the various accolades he has received for his pioneering efforts, Kali holds the unique honor of being the lone Caribbean leader to be recognized as the father of Indo-Caribbean community for spearheading various Indo-Caribbean movements. 

This latest and special LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENTAWARD has been showered by FEDERATION OF INDIAN ASSOCIATIONS (FIA). He is a darling of the medium, be it print, television or radio in the twin lands of America and the Caribbean. They feature him with joy regularly. It feels good to have somebody like Kali in the society. May his breed increase!
