India

No other country, it is said, can awaken the five senses like India. The cacophony of the busy streets, fragrant curries, tropical blossom and bas-relief temple carvings are a total sensory experience of overwhelming proportions. India is equally compelling for its diversity of geography: the towering peaks of the Himalaya and the golden beaches of the south give any traveller more than enough choice. In no other single country can you luxuriate in a Maharajah’s palace, trek remote mountain trails, seek the elusive Royal Bengal Tiger on elephant-back, pamper yourself with an Ayurvedic treatment or enjoy the serene tranquillity of backwaters in your own private houseboat. Rapidly changing, and yet clinging to its ancient past, India is ideal to explore at any level.
