Goa

Famous for its languid beaches, historic churches, and vibrant nightlife, Goa weaves its own unique magic. Treat yourself to a beach holiday, partake in water sports, or simply sit back and watch the waves in this breezy paradise.

Jaipur

Embrace the royal grandeur of Jaipur, a captivating city painted in pink, filled with majestic palaces, fascinating fortresses, and colourful markets particularly charming to those with a penchant for history.

Varanasi

Believed to be one of the world’s oldest cities, Varanasi is a spiritual haven. The mesmerising sight of rituals performed at the ghats and serene boat rides in the Ganges offer an unforgettable cultural immersion.

Kerala

Dubbed ‘God’s Own Country,’ Kerala offers serene backwaters, languid beaches, and sprawling tea gardens, making it a rejuvenating spot for nature lovers and wellness seekers.

Mumbai

India's fast-paced city, Mumbai, offers a fusion of mesmerising heritage, diverse cuisines, bustling markets, and a lively arts scene. It's admired by urban explorers and culture aficionados alike.

Where to Stay

In a country as vast and varied as India, choosing where to stay can be a delightful dilemma. From the historical neighbourhoods of Delhi to the tranquil backwaters of Kerala, let's explore some of the best places to create your own Indian tales.

For a family holiday

Consider the heritage-rich Jaipur, perfect for immersing the family in history and culture, or venture south to Kerala where the slower paced backwaters offer ample space to relax whilst absorbing the rich, natural beauty.

For a couples holiday

For romantic escapades, Udaipur, known as the 'Venice of the East' offers picturesque lakes and opulent palaces. Alternatively, the serene tea gardens and panoramic hills in Darjeeling provide a charming setting for any blossoming or enduring love stories.

For a holiday with friends

If it's a lively holiday with friends you're after, the buzzing streets of Mumbai offer an exhilarating mix of entertainment, shopping, and a vibrant nightlife. On a different beat, Rishikesh, the world capital of yoga, bestows many opportunities for spiritual growth and wellness amidst the tranquillity of the Himalayas.

When to Visit

India's weather is as vibrant as its cultural tapestry, making it a year-round destination depending on your chosen locale. Generally, winter months from October to March offer relatively cooler and comfortable weather, perfect for sightseeing and exploration. However, if you are lured by the enchanting landscapes of the Himalayas or the serene beaches of South India, summer months from April to June are ideal for these destinations. Monsoon season (June to September) can be exceptionally rewarding too, especially in Kerala, when the lush landscapes are at their peak, adorned by a captivating serenity. Finely tune your preferences, and uncover the perfect time for your Indian escapade.
