Dental study tour to North India

The Dental Study Tour is an opportunity to combine sightseeing with a wide range of professional visits ranging from prestigious All India institutions to smaller clinics.

The tour, led by Dr Ashok Sethi (programme director for the Diploma in Implant Dentistry of the Royal College of Surgeons of England), visits Delhi, a city of contrast between the ancient and the new; Agra, home to the Taj Mahal; the pink city of Jaipur; the blue city of Jodhpur, dominated by Mehrangarh Fort and the whimsical ‘Venice of the East’, Udaipur.

The tour starts in New Delhi with sightseeing including India Gate and magnificent Rashtrapati Bhawan, the President’s House, which is larger than Versailles and encompasses exotic gardens.

Next morning visit the Maulana Azad Institute of Dental Sciences and hear a lecture from Ashok Sethi on the current practices of implant dentistry, with a partner programme visiting the beautiful Lodi Gardens. After lunch explore Old Delhi, which was the capital of Mughal India and contains some medieval treasures. Visit Jama Masjid mosque, take a rickshaw through the narrow lanes of the Chandi Chowk to visit the spice market and Jewellers’ Lane and see the Red Fort.
