North India
Gujarat
India's most westerly state is blessed with a wild and deserted coastline, countless palaces and holy Jain temples which attract white-robed pilgrims in their thousands. The desolate wilderness of the Kutch region, home to the wild ass, has a rich tradition of tribal arts and crafts and the finest hand-made embroidered textiles are produced here. The last remaining Asiatic Lions roam free at Sasan Gir National Park. The most remarkable thing is how few tourists visit this spectacular region.
Rajasthan
The most majestic and romantic of all the Indian states is Rajasthan. Its colourful history makes it as intriguing as it is dramatic. Its diversity ranges from the striking desert landscape, where the only flashes of colour are the bright saris worn by the village women, to the dense forest of the Ranthambore Tiger Reserve. It is a myriad of bustling markets and colourful festivals, royal castles, princely palaces, and stories of the chivalry, romance and bravery of the Rajput warriors. Despite its popularity it should not be missed for anyone visiting North India for the first time.
Uttar Pradesh
Varanasi, the holiest city of learning and pilgrimage is located on the banks of the sacred River Ganges. Pilgrims and ascetics in their thousands flock here year round. Fertility ceremonies and cremations take place on the ghats, or steps that lead down to the water, symbolising the cycle of life so integral to Hinduism. In the western part of the state is Agra home to the Taj Mahal. The eternal monument to love and loss is best seen at sunset or sunrise when the white marble is ever changing with the light and always manages to exceed expectations.
Take in the main highlights of Rajasthan, visiting the wonders of Jaipur, Jodhpur and Udaipur whilst staying in beautifully converted havelis and palaces.
A 3 week journey, for the more experienced traveller, which takes in all the highlights of Rajasthan as well as visiting the tiger reserve of Ranthambhore and the rural heartland of this beautiful region.
Varanasi is the spiritual heart of India - a seething throng of pilgrims, holy men, Saddhus and tourists, all gathered to give praise to the Holy Ganges. Combine a visit here with a trip to the erotic temples of Khajuraho before going on to Orchha, a pretty rural village with a remarkable number of ancient palaces, temples and cenotaphs. Throw in some wildlife and a visit to the Taj and you have a diverse and culturally rich 16 day trip.
An unusual and adventurous journey to Jaisalmer via the Shekavati region of north eastern Rajasthan and the desert around Bikaner. Stay in desert forts and palaces and experience a genuine camel safari in the Great Thar Desert town of Osiyan.
Let yourself be seduced by the romance of train travel in India and ride aboard the luxurious Maharajas’ Express, recently voted one of the top specialist train operators by Conde Nast readers. State of the art comfort and service are offered as you relax in the palatial surroundings of your private cabin before disembarking to discover some of the iconic cultural highlights of India.
