Contiki’s goes Bollywood for Splendour

Contiki’s bollywood extravaganza spiced up Splendour in the Grass this year with the youth company celebrating the new India itinerary with a Marigold Majestic area.

Festival goers were treated with an array of India-themed workshops and activities, kicking off with the iconic festival’s first ever colour party.

Contiki managing director, Katrina Barry, said this year was the fifth year at Splendour in the Grass and the biggest activation so far.

“We wanted to showcase an exciting part of what young travellers can experience on the new Eternal India itinerary. Our Marigold Majestic area was inspired by a colourful Bollywood film set and many festival goers reinvigorated with yoga and henna, practiced their finest Bollywood dance moves, and enjoyed the cream of Australia’s electronic music scene after sunset,” Barry added.

The 300 strong camp Contiki at Splendour is a popular option with the all-inclusive package including transport to the festival, complimentary breakfast, spacious twin share tents, daily private shuttle service between the festival and Byron, and power charging stations.

Additionally, every year Contiki campers are treated to an exclusive morning performance from a local Australian artist, and this year up and coming indie folk band Little May, gave everyone goose bumps with an acoustic performance.

The 32,000 strong crowd at Splendour in the Grass who visited Marigold Majestic over the weekend got a glimpse of the new 12-day Eternal India trip that will whisk young explorers away on a journey through India, from Delhi to Agra to Jaipur and on to Goa, immersing them in the magic and mystery of India with its densely packed cities, stunning natural landscapes, world famous heritage sites and hippy paradise beaches.

India has something to pique the interest of every young explorer and provides the perfect stage on which to create lifelong travel memories.

Interest in India has grown considerably as the desire for more cultural, out of comfort-zone travel experiences has become the norm for millennials.
