What to expect
Your guide meets you at your accommodation and drives you to Harris Park. Once there, you'll move through the district's quieter lanes where shopkeepers and craftspeople work. You'll watch cooking techniques, apply henna to your hands or arms, browse jewellery and textiles, and sit for a traditional head massage. Between activities, you'll eat several small courses of regional Indian food and drink tea, soft drinks or wine. A photographer captures you in hired traditional dress. The pace is unhurried, with time to chat with locals about their heritage and why they've settled here.
