‘India is a fascinating, intriguing
land, but one that many will find
more enjoyable if they have a bit
of padding in their budget.

Roger Fielding of Toronto's

‘TourCan Inc.. warns that “‘if you
go cheaper in India there are sur-
prises such as leaky plumbing,

. shabby rooms, and health hazards
in the dining rooms

_TourCan offers the “North In-
dia -Explorer,”’. a 10-day package

that lets you marvel at the Taj

Mahal, the Maharajah’s Palace,
and much more. Seven nights are

spent in a peaceful Indian
' Ocean-front resort at Goa. Also
featured are Delhi, Agra and
Jaipur.

The vacation, including Cana-
dian Airlines: flights from Van-
couver, is in the $3,000 range, and
Felding stresses; ‘Our accom-
modation is alll first-class.”

modation, and attractions have all
spiralied up. Australians argue it
won’t happen there, but Cana-

- dians may find that hard to
