Discover India with us....... Come
join us for a vivid and candid experience through a land as astonishing
as it is exciting. A country as large as Europe and a million times
more diverse from its peoples to its languages, religions, crafts
to its climate. In the north are the challenging Himalayas, in the
south, west and east are miles and miles of beaches. Throughout
the length and breadth of the country are ancient towns and cities
and breathtaking wildlife parks. In all, it is a drama, and quiet
literally a beautiful visual assault on the senses.
As Mrs. Indira Gandhi, India’s late Prime Minister once
said…."If you wish to know something about India, you
must empty your mind of all preconceived notions. Why be imprisoned
by the limited vision of the prejudiced? Don’t try to compare.
India is different and, exasperating as it may seem, would like
to remain so. This is the secret of India, the acceptance of life
in all its fullness…."

North India - cradle of numerous civilizations and cultures,
this region represents the many images of India has projected
over the centuries - the poignant grandeur of the Great Mughal
Emperors; the finest quintessence of Mughal art in the famed Taj
Mahal; the sublime & sensual temples of the 10th Century Khajuraho
temples; the source of the great religion of Buddhism; the mysticism
of holy and sacred Hindu cities and further east, the grace and
decadence of a colonial city. On this discovery of the "classical"
route, we can offer intrusting detours and diversions to enhance
the tour experience of this historic region.

Rajasthan - Fairy-tale aristocrats, battle-scarred forts; the Rajput
pride borne out of legendary exploits; marble dreamscapes of floating
palaces; murals of dancing girls; polo-playing Maharajas and beautiful
Maharanis; velvet bedecked howdahs on elephants to take you through
narrow streets to hilltop castles and palaces; shimmering sands
of desert cities; four-wheel drives in royal wildlife reserves;
the color & pageantry of a vibrant people. Rugged and romantic
Rajasthan is "Classic Fantasy" at its best.
South India - this land of the 5000 year old Dravidien civilization
offers glimpses of ancient traditions and customs, the exuberance
of medieval India, a rich kaleidoscope of beautiful temples, vast
groves of coconuts, luminous rice-fields stunning backwaters, herds
of elephants, prosperous tea plantations and the poise of a people
borne from their ancient civilization.
Western India - this is the "Golden Triangle" of temple
cities in the great reverie land of Orissa that boasts of legendary
architecture, folk art, friendly villages and untouched beaches.
Further east the " seven sisters" of Bhramaputra, are
states that are just opening their doors to tourism .These wild
mountain areas and marshy grasslands are home to many of India’s
tribal people and are connected to the rest of the country by a
narrow corridor….
Western & Central India - here lies the country’s financial
capital Mumbai ; the major trade routes of the Deccan; the heart
of the mighty Maratha Empire that successfully resisted the foreign
invader; the land of the wandering monks who immortalized their
devotion in stone leaving a rich legacy of rock-cut cave architecture;
home of the rich cottage industry of textile weaving, embroidery
and handicrafts and the home of Mahatma Gandhi and his message of
peace .
The Himalayas - Lofty peaks and passes standing sentinel over vast
areas of forests. Emerald green meadows dotted with flowers; crystal
clear mountain lakes; turbulent rivers; sparkling snow-fed rivers;
tiny mountain villages wrapped in a time warp; ancient Buddhist
monasteries scattered on steep cliff edges; regions of soaring rock
strata - stark and savage which prompted Rudyard Kipling to say
in "Kim" - "Surely the Gods live here….."
