To India with Sherlock Holmes
This three-week bespoke trip to India, tailored for the Society, promises to be an experience like no other. As we see the best of India, we plan to bring together the Holmesian references to India, enjoy privileged access to private buildings, and travel in style with fellow Holmesians.
