Welcome
to
India

   
This is a land of diversity, a vast country harbouring an immense variety of scenery that ranges from the palm-edged beaches of the tropical south to the snows of the mighty Himalayas.  In between there are jungles and forests, lush river valleys and barren deserts, busy modern cities and quiet villages to explore and provide an endless series of surprises and pleasures.  With a recorded history of more than 4000 years of empires that have risen and fallen, religions that has taken root and flourished, a succession of foreign invasions and conquests of trade, India has always been an irresistible magnet.

From the grandeur of the Taj Mahal and the Golden Triangle in the north to the tropical rainforests and virgin beaches of Kerala in the south, the sun-kissed shores of Goa and the deserts of Rajastan, witness the heritage and culture of a glorious past, amidst the pace and vitality of a modern and exciting present.  Go on an elephant safari looking for tigers in one of the national parks, shop for fine handicrafts, honed over centuries of dedicated craftsmanship.  Delight in the dramatic scenery, pristine beaches and varied flora and fauna.  India is an amazing experience for the traveller and has something for everyone.

 

The best way to see the Golden Triangle of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur is to take a tour, the durations and itinerary can be tailored to your own personal requirements.  A suggested 7 day tour could include:-

 

Day 1
Arrive in Delhi

Day 2
Enjoy a city tour of Old and New Delhi.  Old Delhi is an ancient walled city, with the Red Fort, the most opulent fort of the  Mughal empire; Mahatma Gandhi memorial site at Raj Ghat; Jama Masjid Mosque, one of the largest in India and Chandni Chowk, the bustling and colourful market of the old city.  In New Delhi there are two monuments from Delhi's past - Humayun's Tomb and Qutub Minar, the victory memorial built in 1199.

Day 3
Drive to Agra and take an afternoon tour that includes a visit to the Taj Mahal, perhaps the world's greatest monument to love and a breathtaking sight.

Day 4
From Agra drive to Jaipur, the Pink City and capital of Rajasthan, built in 1727 and reminiscent of a time of valour and chivalry.  En-route visit Fatepur Sikri, Emperor Akbar's deserted capital and a unique architectural heritage.

Day 5 & 6
On day 5 take a full day tour of Jaipur visiting the Amber Fort, the City Palace and the Palace of Winds, you can also take an elephant ride.  On day 6 visit the colourful markets of Jaipur before returning to Delhi.

Day 7
Delhi


Kerala is on the southwest coast, sandwiched between the Lakshadweep Sea and the Western Ghats.  Its long shoreline with serene beaches, tranquil stretches of emerald backwaters, lush hill stations, exotic wildlife, waterfalls, plantations and paddy fields make it arguably the most beautiful state in India.  Ayurveda, an ancient school of medicine, has been mastered here and Ayurvedic health holidays, magical festivals, historic and cultural monuments, an exotic cuisine and the wonderful scenery, all make this a great destination.

A former Portuguese colony, Goa is relaxed and different from other parts of India.  Its heritage can be seen in Iberian façades, white palm-shaded churches and sunny piazzas covered with bougainvillea.  These together with miles of silver palm fringed beaches lapped gently by the Arabian Sea, combine to make Goa irresistible.
