Journey Dates:
- US delegates: January 11-28
- Indian delegates: January 16-24
US delegates will gather in New Delhi by early evening on Thursday, January 12. They will make their own travel arrangements, since people are flying from different locations and with different agendas.
Our Indian delegates will join us in Pune at Maher late in the day on Monday, January 16. Their Journey will end the morning of Tuesday, January 24 when we leave Maher.
US delegates end the Journey in Pune on Friday January 27 so that US delegates will arrive in Seattle on Saturday, January 28. We will bring delegates to the airport, bus and/or train depot. (Note: Indian delegates are welcomed to join us in Delhi over the first weekend (January 12 to 16) and join us the last few days in Pune/Panchagani (January 24 to 27) at additional costs of transportation, hotel and meals.)
