At Micato, we have always known that Puneet Dan, our esteemed tour director in India:
1) has an encyclopedic knowledge of India’s history, culture and customs
2) is brimming with positive energy
3) loves his pug, Buddy
4) can make you think… and make you laugh!
Journalist Claire Martin recently experienced Puneet’s erudite charm. Ms. Martin travelled with Micato to Delhi, Varanasi, Jaipur, Udaipur and Agra (including a stop at Puneet’s home). As is evident in the resulting article, Puneet not only makes a journey interesting—he makes it fun.
Puneet can expound upon 16th century Indian history as easily as he can comment on Bollywood’s brightest stars. He is passionate about Indian culture and his enthusiasm is infectious…whether he is remarking on colonization or on the Vedas, it isn’t long before you are as excited about it as he is.
India is replete with stunning sights (the inimitable Taj Mahal, for one), fascinating history (in fact, Mark Twain once called Varanasi “older than history”) and thrilling activities (elephant polo, anyone?). Plus, it was recently named one of 2010’s top emerging travel destinations by Luxury Travel Advisor.
