Cultural Study Tours

 

Experiential Cultural Tourism

Among its other activities, Mango Tree conducts Cultural Study Tours to archeological sites and craft destinations. A combination of intellectual succour and philosophical fulfilment, its study tours weave for the sensitive itinerant the magic of myth with the power of history. Participants are assisted to view the historical or craft sites through the eyes of scholar guides and understand them through researched lectures given during the tour. An in-house publication is also shared with each participant.
