Journey to India

Join Just Like My Child and Athma Tours for a Once in a Lifetime Tour of India’s Holy Sites and Girl Power Project® Immersion

We’ve put together A Tour of Unparalleled Color and Experience

Step into a world where every corner brims with vibrant hues, ancient traditions, and boundless spirit. Join us on an extraordinary journey through India—a land where the magic of the past seamlessly intertwines with the present, and the mystery of the unknown beckons you at every turn. This is more than a tour; it’s an opportunity to explore the issues and solutions facing women and adolescent girls and immerse into the soul of India, hosted by Just Like My Child, curated by Athma Tours led by the savvy Indian-born entrepreneur, Jai Varadaraj, renowned for leading Deepak Chopra’s 5-star tours to India. 

Travel with JLMC founder Vivian Glyck and program director, Tessa Davis and take the trip of a lifetime to meet the girls we serve and witness the impact of the Girl Power Project® in Meerut, India. Together we will travel throughout India with a group of conscious activists who are committed to changing the world—while having an unforgettable experience along the way. 

India is a living kaleidoscope. From the bustling bazaars of Old Delhi to the pink city of Jaipur and the golden sands of Rajasthan, every destination tells a story through its colors. Witness the riot of reds, blues, greens, and golds during the festivals, where the air itself seems to celebrate with bursts of color. 

No journey to India is complete without experiencing the sacred Ganges River. In Rishikesh, watch as pilgrims perform time-honored rituals along the ghats. Witness the mesmerizing evening aarti, a ceremonial worship with lamps and chants that illuminate the night with a divine glow. Here, the Ganges is not just a river; it is a lifeline, a spiritual cleanse, a symbol of purity and hope. 

Embark on the Journey to India with JustLikeMyChild.org and uncover the true essence of this captivating land, guided by Jai Varadaraj and the expertise of Athma Tours.

Apply Online for a India Travel Visa

Below we have listed both private and government agencies who can assist with securing your visa for travel to India.

Many travelers choose to hire a private agency to obtain their visas due to difficulties uploading photos and making online payments through the Indian Government website. Note that the visa costs vary with this option and tend to be higher than directly applying through the Government of India.
