India and beyond

It has never been a better time to book a holiday to India and the subcontinent.

India is a vibrant, sensual wonderland of culture and scenery, offering a range of experiences and accommodation for the independent and intrepid traveller. Relax on coastal islands, track tigers in the national parks or head high in to the Himalayas.

Be one of the first to explore the northern coast of Sri Lanka, officially reopened this week, which is easily combined with the Maldives for a touch of barefoot luxury. India can also be combined with Bhutan, Nepal, Tibet, China or Mongolia to make your holiday a trip of a lifetime.

By booking early, you can take advantage of some of the special offers below and benefit from discounted airfares and better flight connections to Bhutan. October onwards is a perfect time to go.

Whether it is your first time exploring or you are looking for something 'beyond the ordinary' our team of travel consultants, who have lived and worked in the countries they sell, will create the perfect holiday experience for you - this I can guarantee.
