DISCOVER INDIA

Visiting India can be a life-changing experience. Few other single countries can awaken and revitalise every one of the senses in the same way. Its spectacular canvas frames an amazing vastness and variety - spanning over 4,000 miles of tropical coastline, vast sun-baked deserts, deep jungles and snow-crowned Himalayan peaks.

Into this larger-than-life backdrop India has fashioned a flamboyant tapestry of ancient cultures and traditions whose exotic emblems and echoes flourish in countless great temples, palaces and fortresses. Centre stage are teeming city streets, colourful bazaars, timeless rural villages - and burgeoning 21st century technology. Unique in its kaleidoscope of the unexpected, India weaves a spell that inspires the imagination and enriches the perceptions - for the first-time or frequent visitor alike!

 

INDIA-WIDE
Most popular choice for first-time visitors is Northern India, focusing on the 'Golden Triangle' of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, the latter in the romantic desert state of Rajasthan with its palaces, temples and fortresses, camels, peacocks and wildlife - and to the east the temples of Khajuraho and sacred city of Varanasi.
Beyond lies bustling Kolkata (Calcutta), gateway to the tea plantations, hill tribes, diverse wildlife and stunning mountain landscapes of Eastern India, not to mention the beaches of the Bengal coast.
Many of those returning to India for a second visit are drawn to the South, whose richly varied scenery and cultures encompass historic cities like Chennai (Madras), the sunlit tropical landscapes of Kerala with its long beaches and magical palm-lined backwaters, spectacular Mysore, historic Kochi (Cochin), the great temples of Tamil Nadu, wildlife and hill-stations, lush paddy fields, spice and tea plantations and serene lakes.
On the west coast are Mumbai, India's largest and fastest-growing city and the golden beaches of Goa. And in the far north in the foothills of the Himalayas are hill retreats and lakes where the air is cool and the scenery breathtaking.
