Delhi
Spending a few days on holiday in Delhi is a wonderful introduction to this great country and to its extensive and fascinating…
From the white of snow-capped Himalayan peaks and the green of tiger-stalked jungles to the red of Mughal palaces and the opulent gold of Sikh temples, nowhere redefines “colourful” quite like India.
Words do little justice to a country as vast and varied as India. This is a place where rich history meets living culture and imposing natural beauty competes with architectural magnificence.
From the Mughal palaces of Uttar Pradesh to the quiet backwaters of Kerala, every region of India offers something distinct and different. In the north, the peaks of Ladakh hide elusive snow leopards. In the east, traditional funerary rites still grace the shores of the sacred Ganges. In the south, colonial-era hill stations top tropical ghats. In the west, the desert fortresses of Rajasthan guard ancient kingdoms.
India offers something for everyone. Foodies can graze on Old Delhi’s street food, historians can discover Ajanta’s millennia-old cave murals, hikers can walk in the shadow of the Himalayas and wildlife enthusiasts can stalk tigers in the country’s many national parks.
And to unpack these experiences – bringing context and knowledge – are just as many enthusiastic and passionate guides. It is this often underappreciated guiding that really brings a holiday to India to life.
A complimentary massage on arrival in India begins any trip on the right note, but we feel that a rewarding holiday to India is about far more than first impressions. Our travel experts will aim to pace your trip to make the most of your time and relish the experience, steering clear of check box itineraries.
We are also careful to choose hotels that are more than just a bed for the night. In particular, we recommend “heritage hotels” – ancestral homes converted by their owners into boutique hotels. Staying in these is an experience in itself.
