Auf den ersten Blick erscheint Indien Pilgerreisen (IPR) als eine Reiseagentur, die ein reichhaltiges Angebot an Reisen organisiert, damit man die beeindruckende .Natur, Kultur und Geschichte Indiens hautnah erfahren kann. Wenn man allerdings näher hinschaut, erkennt man einen tiefer gehenden Anspruch, als nur gut organisierte und erlebnisreiche Reisen anzubieten.
