View All India tours >>

India is a place like no other. Unearth a unique tapestry of tradition, culture, legend and myth, all woven together with the brightest colours and most breath-taking of sights and experiences. India’s landscape is as lively and enthralling as the myriad of tradition and ancient histories it is home to. Enigmatic mountain-ranges, surreal desert landscapes and alluring stretches of national parks, lakes and rivers create a rewarding diversity. Explore fortresses in the desert, trek through the scenic valleys of the Himalayas and discover remote, idyllic villages. Surrender to the magnetism of India’s authentic festivals, and witness ancient rituals in action. Discover a diverse array of temples, and experience the vibrancy of bustling cities. See tigers and unicorn rhinos in their natural surroundings, and fall for the beautiful, lush backwaters of the South. Food lovers - the choice of flavours and spices are fit for a king, and don’t forget the vast range of chai (tea) grown in Assam and Darjeeling!


India tours by region


North India Tours

Experience the buzz of big cities like Delhi and Calcutta, the captivating fortress towns of Rajasthan, the serene beauty of the lake palaces at Udaipur and the mystique of the desert at night. Discover the sacred River Ganges, venture into the heart of tiger territory in the jungle, and admire the lavish artwork of India’s temples. Let your taste buds succumb to a wealth of warming flavours and spices, ride a camel across the Thar desert, and trek through scenic Himalayan villages as you surrender to the mesmerizing diversity of India’s North.



North East India Tours

Dominated by the mighty Himalayas, and bordering onto Tibet, Myanmar, Bangladesh and Bhutan, North East India is a fascinating tapestry of culture. Unparralled in the diversity and isolation of its tribal cultures, the people of North East India continue an authentic, belief-centred way of life in one of the world’s bio-diversity hotspots. Join tribal celebrations at Nagaland’s Hornbill Festival, search for unicorn rhino on elephant back in Kazironga National Park, Kaziranga, outside Tibet. Cross living root bridges in Meghalaya and visit Tawang, the world’s largest Buddhist monastery, perched on top of a mountain. North East India offers the ultimate off the beaten track cultural experiences.




South India Tours

A paradise of rolling hills, serene backwaters and charming spice plantations, the feel of life in South India is more leisurely than in the North, but its treasures are no less spell-binding. See the traditional river houseboats as you meander through the backwaters at Kerala, bask in the warmth of Goa’s white sand beaches, and watch a traditional ‘snake boat’ race. Explore the beguiling cave temples at Karnakata, and walk through stunning landscapes following tea and spice trails.

"In your testimonials I recognise all the things that gave me such pleasure on my own trip. Here was India dust & all, with its charm, its ridiculousness, its colour, sense of humour, unexpected delights, & above all its smiling, friendly people. So the heritage forts & palaces are stunning, but they are only an impressive reminder of where the country has come from. It’s everyday life that lets you know what the country is today. Thanks to your company I was able to experience all of this; just what I wanted."

- Christine Barratt, UK
