MYSTICAL INDIAWith RanthamboRe tigeR PReseRve

January 25-February 10, 2018

Dear Texas Ex,

Travel with us off the beaten tourist path on an exciting, distinctive 17-day journey to colorful, mystical India. Enjoy visits to sites steeped in history, with art and architecture that reveal domestic and foreign influences on India’s culture. Highlights of the tour include the historic districts of Old and New Delhi, one ancient and the other built by the British; Agra, stronghold of the medieval Mughal Empire and home to the sublime Taj Mahal; and Jaipur, the “pink city” in the princely state of Rajasthan.

Every traveler’s participation in the Texas Exes Flying Longhorns Travel Program helps to further the Association’s core purpose: to be an independent voice that champions The University of Texas at Austin and to organize alumni and friends into a formidable network. The Association is recognized as indispensable to the UT family, connecting and engaging supporters with each other and UT. We do so through a wide array of programs – among which are scholarships to deserving UT students and worldwide networking.

I had the opportunity to host 21 Flying Longhorns on this trip in January of 2017, and I would love for you to experience this incredible trip as well! It is truly a life-changing journey! Space is limited, so your early reservation is essential. To make your reservation or ask any questions, call or email me today: shelley.norton@texasexes.org, or 800/594-3938, or 512/840-5628. If you’re ready to book, you can fax the registration form to me at 512/672-6134.

Sincerely,

Shelley Norton Director of Travel Flying Longhorns
