Incredible India 2025!

Join Pickleball Organized Adventures for the trip of a lifetime to Incredible India! As we journey through this amazing country, we will have professional pickleball clinics and play almost every day. Our adventure will take us to the exotic cities of Mumbai, Goa, Jaipur and Agra. This is a very special trip for Krishna as she gets to share her heritage and culture with her students and friends!

In the lively city of Mumbai, filled with rich history and culture, we will see all the major sights, including the Gateway of India, Crawford Market, Malabar Hill, and Dhobi Ghat. We will enjoy a half-day boat trip excursion to Elephanta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that features unique caves. We will also be treated to a special “behind-the-scenes” tour from a local, and a Bollywood experience and dinner! 

From Mumbai, we will fly to Goa where we will stay at the spectacular beachside Taj Exotica Resort & Spa. In Goa, we will adventure on a half-day island-hopping tour to enchanting Divar island, along the Mandovi River, where we’ll experience beauty, nature and wildlife in an unseen side to North Goa. The following day we will embark on a fabulous sunset, champagne and dolphin tour. Goan sunsets are famed all over the world, but this tour will give you a chance to experience this marvel from a new vantage point on the Arabian Sea. 

From Goa, we will fly to Jaipur, city of magical lights! Here we will visit the famous Amber Fort, another UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Jal Mahal Water Palace, and enjoy some shopping time at unique boutiques. The following day our city tour in Jaipur will include the City Palace, the UNESCO WHS Jantar Mantar Observatory, the local markets of the old city, and all the popular sights that capture the history, heritage and local character of Jaipur. We will also be treated to a sumptuous ethnic Rajasthani home-style dinner, where we’ll share a special meal with locals. Our final day will take us to magical Agra, where we'll visit Agra Fort and Mehtab Bagh, topped off by our final morning sunrise visit to the stunning Taj Mahal!
