Indian Winter?

27th January 2010

India never disappoints whatever the weather…

Channel 4's Indian Winter season of films, dramas and documentaries is well and truly underway. Programmes covering life in the biggest slums of Asia to Bollywood’s cinematic gems are on show. If Channel 4 has sparked your desire to experience India for yourself then read on, as India truly deserves a closer look.

The highlights are too many to touch on…

THE INCOMPARABLE TAJ MAHAL

Taj Mahal is the finest existing example of Mughal architecture. It combines intricate Persian, Turkish, Indian and Islamic styles to devastating effect and seems to appear as immaculate today as when it was first constructed. A wonder-ful site!

RAJASTHAN - THE LAND OF PRINCES

The camel journey across the shimmering sands, camping under the desert stars, the forts of Jodphur, Jaisalmer and Jaipur as well as the colourful villages are experiences not to be missed.

LAID-BACK KERALA

Tranquil rural villages, deserted white sand beaches and the rich rainforest wildlife make Kerala the perfect haven from India’s rather intense cities.

MIGHTY HIMALAYA - A TREKKER’S PARADISE!

From Ladakh in the northwest through to Darjeeling and Sikkim in the east, these beautiful mountains offer a diversity of scenery and culture unmatched anywhere. For big white peaks, there are Kanchenjunga and Nanda Devi. For the peak baggers, the 20,147ft (6141m.) Stok Kangri Climb. For the more culturally minded, Ladakh and Zanskar offer a glimpse of what Tibet used to be like and all along the chain, untouched villages, remote shrines and monasteries abound.

TIGER OR SNOW LEOPARD?

Seeing tigers in their natural habitat is one of the ultimate wildlife experiences. On our Land of Tiger trip, we spend maximum time in three outstanding parks to give you the best opportunity for quality viewings. If you prefer snow leopards over tigers then try this new trip; In Search of the Snow Leopard.

NORTH OR SOUTH – A HARD CHOICE!

A trip encompassing The Taj Mahal, the holy River Ganges, tigers, turbans, saris, great food and rickshaws or a relaxing break featuring spice ports, hillstations, boat trips, tea plantations, temples and beaches; The Tropical South - you choose!

Why not all of the above in one go – Embark on our Grand tour of India and explore all that is India.
