Areas in India
Where to go in India, from Bengal tiger spotting to boarding a Darjeeling mountain train and coasting the life-blood canals of Kerala to chasing sun beams through Jaisalmer’s Golden City
Most visitors start in the urban, architectural capital of Delhi, leaving behind the cycle rickshaws and gilded temples for northern India’s beauty and history. Experience luxury tented camps in India’s wildlife reserves, weave through the magical alleyways of the Blue City of Jodhpur and wake up early for sunrise at the Taj Mahal. Rural areas promise a taste of authentic Indian life and cruises over Lake Pichola sail past opulent palaces, temples and Ghats. Central India’s Mumbai brings unmissable sacred caves and Bollywood city tours whereas Goa’s relaxed beaches are a whole new vibe. South-west Kerala’s emerald paddy fields give way to a network of backwaters and the peak of spirituality is reached in the Himalayas.
