India

With diverse landscapes and ethnic groups, a rich history and delicious cuisine, India is an intoxicating cultural experience for any traveller and a real feast for the senses! Perhaps the most vivid nation on Earth, the country effortlessly combines a spectrum of things to see and do, from its mountainous tea plantations to its laid-back beaches via holy cities and architectural wonders. Experience the hustle and bustle of iconic cities of Delhi and Mumbai. A safari in one of the national parks such as Bharatpur National Park allows you to discover India's wildlife, including tigers. Kerala is a land of swaying palms, sprawling forests, spice plantations and languid waters, and you can explore its Backwaters on a traditional houseboat. Years later, you can still hear the morning calls of the chai wallahs and the silence of the desert, see smoke curling over the Ganges and a pale gold Varanasi sunrise. This is India as it is. Raw, bizarre and totally addictive.
