Announced during Prime Minister Modi鈥檚 visit to the UK late last year, this tour builds on the strong bonds between the two countries.

While in India they will experience the four passions which unite the country - cricket, Bollywood, politics and family.

On Sunday they will head to the Oval Maidan to watch and take part in a cricket match between beneficiaries and representatives of three charities based in Mumbai 鈥� Magic Bus, Doorstep, and India鈥檚 Childline.

On Sunday evening they will attend a glittering reception and dinner alongside some of the biggest names in business and Bollywood, to celebrate Mumbai鈥檚 film and creative industries. 皇冠体育app reception is being hosted by the British High Commission in partnership with 皇冠体育app British Asian Trust, of which 皇冠体育app Prince of Wales is founder and president.

On Monday they will make their way to the capital, Delhi, where they will pay respect to India鈥檚 military contributions, honour the memory of Mahatma Gandhi, and also to get to know the men and women who lead the country in government and politics.

British High Commissioner to India, Sir Dominic Asquith KCMG, said:

皇冠体育app Duke and Duchess are most excited about their first visit to India, and we hope this visit will mark the start of a long friendship between them and this magnificent and diverse country.

皇冠体育appy are embarking on a packed, varied and exciting programme where they will gain an understanding of modern India 鈥� a vibrant, entrepreneurial, aspirational nation that faces both its challenges and huge opportunities with confidence.

This will be the one of the most ambitious tours 皇冠体育appir Royal Highnesses have ever undertaken and promises to be the most colourful tour to date. It will cover five distinct locations over six days across four regions of India and a visit to the remote and beautiful Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan.

Following their time in Delhi, 皇冠体育app Duke and Duchess will make their way to Kazaringa National Park where they will find out more about the role of conservation in the lives of rural people there. 皇冠体育appir Royal Highnesses are interested to see how communities manage the conflicts that arise when humans and wild animals live in close proximity. 皇冠体育appy will also meet park rangers inside Kaziranga, to discuss how the park protects its animal populations from poachers as demand, in other parts of Asia, for rhino horns continues to rise.

皇冠体育appy will then fly to Bhutan to learn about this beautiful, mountainous country that has famously prioritised the happiness of its people above all other national goals. 皇冠体育appir Royal Highnesses are honoured to have the opportunity to meet with 皇冠体育appir Majesties 皇冠体育app King and Queen of Bhutan, a couple they share similarities with being of the same generation.

Finally 皇冠体育app Duke and Duchess will finish their tour at one of the world鈥檚 most romantic and iconic sites 鈥� 皇冠体育app Taj Mahal. 皇冠体育app Duke feels incredibly lucky to visit a place where his mother鈥檚 memory is kept alive by so many who travel there. Twenty four years on from her visit to the Taj, 皇冠体育app Duke and Duchess are looking forward to seeing this beautiful place for themselves and creating some new memories as they say thank you to the people of India at the conclusion of their tour.
