From bustling cities to idyllic beaches and mountain retreats, you will encounter a rich variety of peoples, landscapes and religious pageantry. The scenic grandeur of the Himalayan foothills contrasts starkly with the sweeping dunes of Rajasthan and its walled cities. In neighbouring Uttar Pradesh, the awe-inspiring Taj Mahal is but one location in ‘the golden triangle’, an area crammed with ancient forts, shrines, palaces and historical and cultural curiosities.

Elsewhere, dense jungles and National Parks such as Ranthambore, Bandhavgarh and Corbett, display a rich diversity of wildlife. Here you can stay in tented luxury and ride elephant-back in search of the endangered Bengal tiger, Asiatic rhino and many fascinating lesser known mammals and birds.

For relaxation, visit Kerala with its slow-paced backwater houseboats, boutique hotels and palm-fringed beaches, or sample the fragrant western ghats – verdant hills with lush spice plantations and peaceful wildlife reserves. Throughout the country, enjoy world-class health resorts and smaller local spas, where ancient therapies such as ayurveda are practised along with yoga and a variety of natural treatments.

We can provide a bespoke, tailor made holiday for you to this fascinating country. The format is flexible but generally we suggest a mixture of private guide and vehicle, combined with trains and/or planes for longer distances. It’s always a good idea to call us to discuss your exact requirements as we specialise in creating tailor-made trips.

Access to much more of the sub-continent has become easier following recent improvements to the country’s infrastructure in terms of roads and frequency of scheduled flights.  Wherever and however you travel in India, be it by plane, train or road, you will enjoy friendly service and a warm welcome with one of our private guides. And finally don’t forget the fabulous food and enchanting people. Both will leave their pleasant mark long after you return.
