India

 

From shimmering temples to snow-tipped peaks, India is one colourful and chaotic jumble of spiritualism and sweeping landscapes. Go in search of wild tigers, drift through backwaters on a traditional rice barge, try a homestay in the heart of the Himalayas and stay in an elegant Maharajan palace. Our India holidays are filled with eye-opening experiences.

The north is banded by the snow-crowned peaks of the Himalayas. Moving south, you pass through Rajasthan, a microcosm of India with its forts, palaces and temples, as well as the Taj Mahal. Central India shelters leopards, elephants and the Bengal tiger. In India’s northeast corner, Calcutta still exudes its colonial heritage in a landscape of Bengali mansions and neo-Gothic architecture. West-coast Mumbai is an improbable proposition, a hub of manufacturing where you can wander among Art Deco architecture or through a teeming bazaar. Down in India’s south, cruising Kerala’s backwaters on a converted rice barge is a suitably relaxed way to embrace this region’s laid-back approach to life.
