PRODUCT SUMMARY
For sale in U.S. only-- Welcome to India! In this program, students travel to the city of Dehradun, where they will begin their journey with a stroll through a park commemorating Mahatma Gandhi, enjoy a glass of lassi, a frothy yogurt drink, and try on a sari, a traditional garment worn by Indian women.
