The ultimate journey through a land rich in culture, wonderful scenery, fantastic sights and welcoming people

Ruined city of Hampi

There are few places on earth that offer the traveller such variety as India. On this incredible trip we sample some of the best it has to offer, from the exquisite palaces of colourful Rajasthan to the Taj Mahal. For wildlife we head to Ranthambore, home of the elusive tiger. There are cave temples and ancient ruins to explore further south, and we take a backwater cruise in Kerala to see remote villages. For the spiritually-inclined there is time on the banks of the holy River Ganges at Varanasi and the wonderful palaces in Mysore. All this plus the beautiful beaches of Goa.
