India Encompassed

Uncover the hidden treasures of both northern and southern India on an unparalleled journey through this mystical country.

You'll gain a thorough appreciation of the history and living culture of India as we explore the exotic temples of Khajuraho, witness the contrast between isolated rural villages and the bustling cities of Delhi and Madras and try to spot the elusive tiger during our visits to India's best wildlife reserves.

The majestical Taj Mahal, the pink city of Jaipur as well as Varanasi, situated on the banks of the sacred river Ganges, are highlights on this all encompassing itinerary.

At Kerala we hike the serene, mist covered hills and national parks.

We experience an authentic village homestay at Kumbalangi and enjoy the tranquil backwaters by boat.

Finally our journey to India's tropical south concludes with time spent at idyllic Kovalam beach and the sandalwood scented bazaars of Cochin.
