Welcome to Enchanting Journeys

Exploring Cultures through Festivals

We believe travel is about more than a vacation. It is about getting to know a country in all its glory, through interacting with local people & seeing places through their eyes. The world we live in consists of an extremely diverse human population which, throughout the ages, has developed distinct cultural & political norms specific to their religion and beliefs.

Today, this diversity has left us with a plethora of events, some traditional with a deep seeded history & some not-so-traditional developed purely for a specific need, that shed light into & allow us to experience cultures different from our own.

Festivals are a great way to experience & explore new places & immerse yourself in a culture which is not necessarily close to your own. Meeting the locals & participating in the events they organize can be extremely fun & educational.

Every year all around the world, a wide variety of crazy festivals take place. Some are colorful, others are messy & many more are simply beautiful. There is no better way to experience the rich cultural heritage of a destination than by joining in one of its vibrant local festivals. Whether you are looking for the ultimate cultural experiences celebrating ancient revered traditions or just being wacky for the sheer joy of it, these yearly festivals are great reasons to travel or play hooky from work. And with several hundred festivals all over the world every month - there are plenty to choose from!

People across the world celebrate numerous festivals all through the year. Festivals provide a glimpse into the culture and traditions of a particular country. As such, many tourists plan their visit to a particular country in festive months.

Haven't you always dreamt of enjoying memorable experiences as you journey to exotic locales? 

Time your next trip to coincide with one of these events & avail the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in colourful local cultures. Ever had the urge to throw a tomato at a complete stranger and live to tell about it?  Or dance 24 hours without a care in the world? From Spain’s La Tomatina festival to Rio’s famous Carnival, celebrations of electric chaos pulsates with community spirit & you will be hard pressed to not get caught up in the festivities.

Let your imagination run wild. There are unusual but visited manifestations & celebrations organized for years, all around the world, devoted to animals. Some of them are a part of a tradition or culture of certain country, and some of them have already become real tourist attractions!

Then, there are those enthralling Flower festivals around the globe, celebrating natural beauty & local cultures, incorporating several aspects of entertainment. Participating in these events provide an unforgettable experience for the locals as well as the visitors.   

Please note currently all our Journeys are listed under the “Culture” theme before being transitioned gradually under the respective Headings. 

Check-out our suggestions & if you have a specific destination or Festival in mind, even if it is not yet featured on our site, we can always design & customise a Journey, especially for you. Almost all of our Journeys are available on demand, allowing you to specify a departure date & group size. Private departures are ideal for family, friends & social groups.
