Incredible India ….waiting to be experienced

Asia sticks to you. The joss sticks lit for the household shrines in Thailand impart a sweet perfume to the thick air. The heavenly aroma of Indian spices follows you for days. And India is an incredibly varied & exciting vacation destination, pulsating with a spectacular mix of people, traditions & landscapes. With an intoxicatingly rich history, which has spawned a number of exquisite palaces, temples & monuments, your journey through this mind-stirring country will blaze in your memory long after you've left its shores.  

India is a land of remarkable diversity – from ancient traditions and artistic heritage to magnificent landscapes and culinary creations – India will ignite your curiosity, shake your senses and warm your soul.

The Great Outdoors | Glorious Food | The Unexpected | Soul Stirring

From the towering icy peaks of the northern mountains to the sun-washed beaches of the southern coast, India's dramatic terrain is breathtaking. Along with abundant natural beauties, exquisite temples rise majestically out of pancake-flat deserts and crumbling fortresses peer over plunging ravines. Aficionados of the great outdoors can scout for big jungle cats on wildlife safaris, paddle in the shimmering waters of beautiful beaches, take blood-pumping treks high in the Himalaya, or simply inhale pine-scented air on a meditative forest walk.

Brace yourself - you are about to take one of the wildest culinary trips of your travelling life. Here you will fry, simmer, sizzle, knead, roast & flip across a deliciously diverse repertoire of dishes. The hungry traveller can look forward to a tasty smorgasbord of regionally distinct recipes, all with their own traditional preparation techniques & presentation styles - from the competing flavours of masterfully marinated meats and thalis to the simple splendour of vegetarian curries and deep-sea delights.

Spirituality is the common characteristic painted across the vast & varied canvas that is contemporary India. The multitude of sacred sites & rituals are testament to the country's long, colourful & sometimes tumultuous, religious history. And then there are its fairs & festivals - as diverse as the land - an eternal expression of the spirit of celebration. India hosts some of the world's most divine devotional celebrations - from formidable city parades celebrating auspicious events on the religious calendar to simple village harvest fairs that pay homage to a locally worshipped deity. Observed with enthusiasm & gaiety, every season brings along new festivals - each a true celebration of the rich tradition of India.
