Holidays to India, Nepal & Bhutan

Incredible India offers an extraordinary cultural experience, with a rich and ancient history dating back millennia. Boasting over 30 World Heritage Sites, it has many iconic buildings such as the breathtakingly beautiful Taj Mahal. It has numerous Hindu temples, and many incredible forts and palaces from the Maharaja era - most notably in the ‘Golden Triangle’ region of Rajasthan, best explored on a private tour travelling with your own driver/guide. Luxury train travel is also popular, as this allows you to journey back in time to the opulence of a royal yesteryear. Alternatively a trip on one of the open-sided narrow gauge ‘Toy Trains’, built in colonial times, is an unforgettable cultural experience.

Comprising 29 different states and 7 union territories, with over 20 official languages between them, India is very diverse - with each state having its own distinctive culture, saris and curries. The laid-back southern state of Kerala, for example, is known for its traditional houseboats found on its extensive system of ‘backwaters’ (lakes), as well as for yoga and Ayurvedic wellness treatments. Amritsar is the home of the remarkable Golden Temple, Shimla is a beautiful hill station in the Himalayas and Darjeeling is known for its tea plantations and monasteries. The small state of Goa is renowned for its wonderful beaches. Vivid and exuberant festivals, such as Holi and Diwali, are a way of life in India, which is also the land of Royal Bengal tigers, Asian elephants and Rudyard Kipling’s ‘Jungle Book’. This rapidly developing country has many different facets, colours and landscapes that cannot be covered in a single trip, so it’s best to concentrate on one region at a time – then return for another visit.

Nepal is an important trekking destination, as it is the gateway to the beautiful Annapurna Trail and mighty Mount Everest, whilst peaceful Bhutan has remote Buddhist monasteries and soaring Himalayan peaks to explore.
