India Trips & Tours
The most vibrant country on Earth inspires wanderlust like you’ve never known it. From the snow-laden peaks of the Himalayas in the north, to the pearly Goan beaches in the south, there’s a blockbuster of things to see and do, smell and experience, love and explore. For many, the first tentative dip into the vast country is Rajasthan where tiger-filled jungles and glorious architecture combine brilliantly with the Taj Mahal. A little further south, the lure of sultry Kerala and the iconic backwaters is hard to ignore, as is the chilled (in more ways than one!) mountain air of the Western Ghats. In the east, you’ll find ancient civilisations, temples and a culture that will make history buffs go weak at the knees – but we still haven’t mentioned the uber-trendy cities, scrumptious things to eat and cool-as-a-cucumber ashrams. Sound incredible, awe-inspiring and like somewhere you’d like to go? It is…
Of course it might not be everybody’s cup of chai, but those who love India fall hard and fast and exploring the hidden corners becomes a lifelong obsession. You have been warned.
One of our favourite, and perhaps unknown, aspects of a trip to India is the sheer variety of accommodation from embellished havelis and Raj-era forts to humble homestays and juicy, organic farms.
There will undoubtedly be some places that you don’t like, but you may be surprised by what you love. Expect the unexpected, go with the flow, and your trip will be one to remember.

The Bengal tiger is India’s national animal and one of the major drawcards for an Indian safari. India has about 70% of the world’s population of tigers as well as 14 other species of wild cats. Ranthambore National Park, Bandhavgarh National Park, Kanha National Park, Tadoba National Park are particularly worth a visit for some tiger-spotting. Indian elephants, the smaller cousins of the African elephant, are mainly found in Southern India. Our number one choice for seeing this thick-skinned beauties is the Corbett National Park. You can also look forward to seeing Indian rhinos, which are sometimes called ‘Great Indian Rhinoceros’, and are mostly found in Kaziranga National Park and Nepal in North-East India. Asiatic lions are mainly found in Sasan Gir National Park in Gujarat and in the wild forests of Junagarh.
