India

The appeal of a journey to India is the diversity seen in every corner of the country. From the deserts of Rajasthan, the cool hill stations in the Himalayan foothills, the palm-fringed beaches of Kerala, the simple rural villages and sophisticated modern cities all combine to make India a country of tremendous diversity.

This is not just restricted to the land, but is also evident in the people, culture, various religions, language and lifestyle. India has a remarkable 5000 year-old history making it one of the oldest civilizations in the world.

Mighty empires, periods of conquest and control and religious influences have contributed to the cultural mix that is India today. Wherever you roam in this sizeable land, the fusion of her past is evident all around.
 
When to go:
 
The cooler winter months from November to March are the best time to visit India and the Himalaya area April to September.
 
Religious Etiquette:
 
When visiting a sacred site, always dress and behave respectfully – don’t wear shorts or sleeveless tops (men and women) and don’t smoke.  Remove shoes, and take a head scarf.

Staff Experience

India, what an amazing destination! The colours, smells, sights and sounds of an exotic and diverse country with a history spanning more than 5000 years!
 
Great deserts, majestic palaces, amazing fortresses, romantic lakes, religious pilgrimage sites, spectacular mountains, beautiful beaches, tropical palms, so much to see and do in this wonderful country.
 
The Taj Mahal is a great testament to love between a husband for his wife. I can remember the air of excitement I felt as we approached the gateway to the Taj but on seeing it for the first time a feeling of complete awe and calm came over me as I contemplated the majesty of this manmade masterpiece.
 
Bill Clinton once said, “there are 2 groups of people in the world, those who have seen the Taj Mahal and those who have not”. But remember there is so much more to experience in the amazing destination of India!
