GUIDE TO INDIA

Where to Visit on a Holiday to India?

India’s vast size and diverse terrains mean the itinerary possibilities here are endless. Perhaps the most popular route of all is the famous 'Golden Triangle', which takes in Jaipur, Delhi and Agra, the gateway to the iconic Taj Mahal. In terms of beach holidays, Goa and Kerala are among the more famous destinations, and for a good reason: both offer beautiful sands and a laidback atmosphere, with plenty of colour and culture to elevate the experience. Many travellers also seek wildlife holidays in India, which can be fabulous too: Madhya Pradesh, home of Kanha National Park, setting of the Jungle Book (though Kipling never actually visited), where travellers have the opportunity to spot tigers, leopards, elephants and bears, to name just a few.

We could go on (and on) and talk about Uttarakhand and Rishikesh, Calcutta and Darjeeling, Varanasi, Tamil Nadu or Shimla. The list of incredible places, sites to marvel at, and experiences to be had, is limitless for practical purposes. 

Often, holiday packages in India try to cram in as many sites and cities as possible. However, we advise travellers to go slowly to soak up the scenery and the culture. India is like ten countries in one, and it would be impossible to "see it all" in one go. That's why, on our trips in India, we believe you don't need to rush to connect with the destination: less is often more.

We would be delighted to help you with your India travel plans. Our top-quality guides, local know-how, boutique and luxury hotels and 24-hour in-country support will ensure you have the holiday of a lifetime.
