MAJESTIC HERITAGE, & VIBRANT CULTURE
Words scarcely do justice to the diverse and endlessly surprising land that is India. From the cool, isolated splendour of the Himalaya to the architectural elegance of the Taj Mahal, India has natural beauty, rich culture and hidden treasures at every turn.
From emerald tea plantations to chaotic cities, exquisite food and exuberant festivals, India is one of the planet’s most rewarding destinations to explore. Start by tracing its history in the picturesque forts, palaces and temples of Rajasthan, a dream world fabled for its desert landscapes. From here it’s just a short hop to Agra, home of the iconic Taj Mahal and Agra Fort – enduring monuments of the mighty Mughal Empire.
You could wander the streets of Old Delhi, admire the architectural gems of Jaipur or revel in the beauty of Udaipur’s marble palace and lakeside gardens. Make time, too, for the Himalayan mountain kingdoms of Ladakh and Zanskar, the last remaining strongholds of Tibetan Buddhism and a trekker’s paradise. Time your trip with one of India’s many festivals to experience a vivid display of colors, music, costumes and tradition.
A world away from the bustle normally associated with the country, the south allures with its enviable tropical climate, timeless villages and laidback way of living. Here, Kerala’s intricate network of backwaters shows rural India at its most enchanting and unspoiled, and is best explored in a traditional slow-moving houseboat.
For some, the chance to view Bengal tigers in their natural habitat is reason enough to make the trip. Safaris in the great forest reserves of central India – Pench, Kanha and Bandhavgarh – offer elusive tiger sightings as well as encounters with patient Indian elephants, monkeys, water buffalo and birds.
Palm-fringed beaches equally await discovery on the coast, as do traditional tea plantations in the cool foothills of the Himalayas. Faced with such a richness of possibilities, the best place to start is with our India experts whose seasoned hands will help to guide you through the country’s complexities for a truly memorable holiday.
