AdventureWomen and Packlight Global Itineraries Announce Travel Collaboration to India
Watertown, Mass. / Durham, N.C. (March 17, 2025) – AdventureWomen, an independent women-owned company dedicated to women building connections through travel, and Pack Light Global Itineraries, an experiential travel planning business that encourages and inspires women of color over 40 to explore the world fearlessly and joyfully, are thrilled to announce an exciting new collaboration. This culturally rich travel experience is designed to bring like-minded women together on an immersive and unforgettable journey to India.
The co-branded trip, India: Palaces, Culture, and the Spirit of Holi, will take place from Feb. 23 to March 7, 2026. This extraordinary 12-night adventure begins in Bangalore, guiding travelers through the grandeur of Mysore’s palaces, the serene coffee plantations of Coorg, and the spiritual heart of Varanasi, where guests will experience a Ganga Aarti ceremony and early morning rituals along the sacred Ganges River.
Travelers will then take a sleek journey aboard India’s first high-speed train, the Vande Bharat Express, to Agra, where they will witness the majestic Taj Mahal before exploring the historic bazaars, Mughal architecture, and famed street food scene in Old Delhi. The trip culminates with the colorful Hindu Holi celebration, signaling the arrival of Spring.
This journey will be hosted by Paige Davis, president of AdventureWomen, and Dawn Booker, founder of Pack Light Global Itineraries. Both companies are dedicated to travel experiences that foster connection, encourage curiosity and empower women through travel.
“This truly exclusive voyage through India created by AdventureWomen and Pack Light Global has been over a year in the making,” said Paige Davis, president of AdventureWomen. “Together, we have built something beyond an itinerary, creating an experience that brings like-minded women together in part and offers a unique opportunity to experience India together, opening doors to fascinating discussions, shared discoveries, and moments of wonder.”
This collaboration marks an important step in providing transformative travel experiences to all women such that they feel seen, included, and inspired to explore the world together.
