Immerse yourself in Indian culture and dine with a local family with this unique 5-hour experience. It will introduce you to the Indian lifestyle, the traditions of home life, and the importance of family in Indian culture. Naturally, you will learn about the food too!

Happily, for all its progress, India still doesn’t have long aisles of canned foods in its stores. We invite you to spend a day with an extended Indian family and partake in the culinary pleasures they are keen to share. You will be welcomed into their home in a traditional way and enjoy a refreshing non-alcoholic drink while interacting with the family.

First you will be introduced to the spice box, ready to yield its fragrant secrets. While researchers bend over microscopes to ferret out the healing properties of cumin and turmeric, we merrily pop them into our woks, confident that they will heal wounds and cure coughs, because grandma said so.
