Discover a world like no other in India

When it comes to describing India, words often fail.  India is big in so many ways with its sheer size, population and diversity bursting through all the boundaries.  India creates images of The Taj Mahal, the Ganges and Bengal tigers, but as well it boasts stunning beaches, vibrant bazaars and quiet backwaters.

It's easy to be tempted to rush from highlight to highlight but we recommend a more leisurely pace so you can experience India at its most beautiful and raw best.  There are over 100 National Parks in India, each with its own distinctive wildlife and landscapes. From idyllic islands to alpine peaks, deserts to high plateaus, India's varied climate makes for outstanding wildlife encounters.  The Ranthambore National Park is India's largest wildlife sanctuary, home to various wildlife and bird species.

India's cities are like none other, each with its own distinctive flavour.  New Delhi is the vibrant capital, Jaipur is known as "The Pink City" and renowned for its bazaars, forts, temples, palaces and wildlife sanctuaries. 

Take time to explore regional India, each with its own distinctive culture, exquisite cuisine, rich landscapes and deep history. Experience fishing villages, aromatic plantations, bustling bazaars and white sand beaches.

India is like no other.
