Monsoon and marigold, dung and dust, colours and canons, smoke and song, desert and endless myth... this is India, a wonderful, unrelenting place of ineffable sweetness.

Wild Safaris
India's rich tropical forests have over 1200 species of birds and 350 mammals, preserved in different regions of the country within 59 National Parks and 372 sanctuaries. The exotic areas are Ranthambhore (Rajasthan), Corbett (Uttar Pradesh), Gir (Gujarat), Kanha and Bandhavgarh (Madhya Pradesh), Periyar (Kerala) and Kaziranga (Assam).

Cultural Expeditions
Experience the authentic culture and essence of the land visited... to taste the local flavours... hear the music that moves the people ... and experience the elements of spirituality and religion of the pristine and awe inspiring Himalayan areas, where ancient villages and cultures continue to exist since centuries.

Archaeological Tours
With a culture and history dating back centuries, India would be the best example of true archaeological wonders. Special archaeological tours in Rajasthan, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh and other parts of the country to view ancient Harappan sites, forts and palaces and Hindu temples. Visits to ancient towns of Junagadh, Palitana, Khajuraho, Hampi and the frescoes of Ajanta and Ellora can be undertaken. Some of the highlights are to walk through small, rural Indian villages where many of the houses are mud-walled with packed-earth floors. Most of the prized family possessions add to the cultural experience for travellers.
