India

India is a stunningly diverse and captivatingly beautiful destination for the intrepid traveler - from the unparalleled architectural beauty of the Taj Mahal to bustling markets to lush forests where tigers roam and leopards prowl. Colorful, exotic, enchanting, and truly sensational, India will wow your senses and leave you contemplating this vibrant, complex, multi-faceted society.

India is most well known for its rich cultural heritage, offering travelers the opportunity to immerse themselves in its fascinating history and religions. Contemplate samsara, the endless Hindu cycle of death and rebirth, while floating across the sacred waters of the Ganges River during an evening boat ride in Varanasi. Visit forts and palaces in cities like Jaipur and Udaipur and explore the captivating places hidden within, from the glittering walls of a royal palace to perfectly manicured courtyards to ornate gateways adorned with intricate designs. A guided walk through any city will reveal endless cultural curiosities, from the haunting sound of a snake charmer’s song to the whimsical spectacle of a puppet show to the kaleidoscopic colors of hand-woven textiles and rugs at the local market.  

For travelers who are not as keen on visiting cities, India is a biodiversity hotspot and its national parks offer one-of-a-kind safari experiences. Seeing a Bengal tiger in the wild is a truly awe-inspiring experience, and Bandhavgarh and Pench National Parks will not disappoint. In addition to tigers, India’s protected areas are home to leopards, sloth bears, Indian elephants, Indian rhinoceros, Asiatic wild dogs, and numerous species of deer and antelope. For dedicated wildlife aficionados, tracking snow leopards against the dramatic backdrop of the rugged Himalays in Ladakh is not to be missed and you may also encounter Himalayan wolves, ibex, blue sheep, condors, foxes, and more.

With India being such an expansive and geographically diverse country, there are endless options for exploration and customization of itineraries to meet your unique needs. No matter where you travel in this intriguing country, you will experience amazing hospitality, mouth-watering cuisine, and a rich tapestry of cultures, languages, and traditions that will create memories for a lifetime.
