India

From whirlwind cities and majestic golden palaces to the tranquil backwaters of Kerala and the natural power of Ranthambore, India is quite simply an astounding country. With such a rich tapestry of flavours, colours, sights, and experiences on offer, planning your India holiday can seem like a big task which is why I will be with you every step of the way, helping to sift out the best sights and stopovers to suit your trip.

Atmospheric and deeply spiritual, the state of Kerala provides a beautiful counterbalance to India’s hectic cities. Hiring a private houseboat and drifting down its tranquil backwaters is a great way to take in the surrounding villages and ease yourself into a more authentic experience. When the senses are suitably stirred and sightseeing beckons, the list of iconic landmarks India has to offer is truly mesmerising. The Taj Mahal has earnt its title as India’s most visited landmark for good reason and watching the sun setting behind the pearly white marble is both deeply moving and breath-takingly romantic. Heart stopping moments can also be found walking through the ‘Pink City’ of Jaipur, gazing up at the glittering Golden Temple of Amritsar or taking an exclusive guided tour around the dazzling sets of Bollywood. Also not to be missed is a trip to Ranthambore national park, where a thrilling safari adventure could reward you with the chance to spot one of India’s big cats. And just when you feel you have experienced it all, the bohemian beaches of Goa offer the ultimate sun-drenched extension to a simply remarkable holiday.
