Martin has a Ph.D. in philosophy and has taught at universities in the States and Canada. He first visited India with the Experiment in International Living in 1965 when still an undergraduate at NYU. That two-month trip led to his life-long study of philosophy. After completing his Ph.D. in philosophy in 1973 he intended to travel around the world for a year before becoming a professor, but came to a full stop when he reached India and has been there ever since. He never did get all the way around.

Carol has a BA in Education and was a New York City public school teacher. She left the States on a round-the-world trip in 1974 and got stuck on India too.

India's culture, philosophy and people have fascinated us for 25 years. We speak Hindi and are knowledgeable about most things Indian: history, Hinduism and Buddhism, myth, art and architecture, culture and customs, literature, traditional medicine and yoga, and wildlife (especially the birds)

We've explored the famous attractions and little-known wonders of this ancient but still-living culture, and lived among people from the many social, cultural and historical backgrounds that are the Indian nation.

Avid cyclists (the bicycle is our transport in Goa where we can be found between tours in the winter months, playing host to the 50 species of birds that visit our garden), we have explored Goa (and other regions) extensively by bicycle. Few people are as well acquainted with Goa's excellent cycling routes and its places of interest and beauty.

We are veteran trekkers and explorers of the Himalayas and were some of the first foreigners to visit the tribal lands of Kinnaur and Spiti when they were opened to the outside world. We spent four months there exploring villages, monasteries and hiking trails, and have led tours (cultural and bicycle) and treks in this fascinating region. One trek, over the Parang La pass to Tso Moriri Lake, a trek that we lead in July-August, is prominently featured in the book on philosophy and our adventures in the Himalayas that Martin has recently completed. In the summer months between tours and treks we live in a cottage in a remote village at the foot of the Great Himalayan Range. We've led many treks from there since our first trek over the Rohtang Pass in 1979.

Our tours are carefully researched and crafted to make sure that you get the most out of your trip.
