What's this trip about?

    A country by name, but a continent in scale, India in one word is diversity. To guide you where to go when faced with such rich variety, our India specialists use the experience of their own travels to create your tailor-made holiday to India. The north is banded by the snow-crowned peaks of the Himalaya. Moving south, you pass through Rajasthan, a microcosm of India with its forts, palaces and temples, as well as the Taj Mahal. Central India shelters leopards, elephants and the Bengal tiger. In India’s northeast corner, Calcutta still exudes its colonial heritage in a landscape of Bengali mansions and neo-Gothic architecture. West-coast Mumbai is an improbable proposition — a hub of manufacturing where you can wander among Art Deco architecture or through a teeming bazaar. Down in India’s south, cruising Kerala’s backwaters on a converted rice barge is a suitably relaxed way to embrace this region’s laid-back approach to life.

Itinerary

Day 1 : International outbound flight

Today you begin your journey by boarding your international outbound flight to Mumbai (Bombay).

Day 2 : Mumbai (Bombay)

Arrive into Mumbai where one of our local representatives will greet you. You'll then meet your driver and head into the city, to your hotel. The remainder of the day is at your leisure. This evening you might like to enjoy a drink in your hotel bar which has views across the city.

Day 3 : Mumbai (Bombay)

Rise early this morning for your dawn tour of this fascinating city. See fishermen bring in their catch, watch the flower and fruit markets come to life and witness hundreds of newspaper vendors frantically at work before the sun comes up. The remainder of the day is at your leisure.

Day 4 : Mumbai (Bombay)

With a turnover of hundreds of millions each year, and the title of being the largest slum in Asia, Dharavi is an eye-opening place of contrasts which you will explore with a local guide today. The slum is alive with incredible entrepreneurial spirit, but is also cramped, smelly and very dirty - it's good to go prepared with sensible shoes. The remainder of the day is at your leisure.

Day 5 : South beaches, Goa

After breakfast, return to the airport to take the short 75 minute flight south to Goa. On arrival, a local driver will greet you and drive you to your hotel for the next five nights.

Day 6 : South beaches, Goa

Today is free to enjoy your hotel's facilities; relax and unwind after a busy couple of days in Mumbai.

Day 7 : South beaches, Goa

Today you might like to head to the beach to enjoy the Indian Ocean. Try a lassi from one of the local beach vendors or simply take a walk along the long coastline.

Day 8 : South beaches, Goa

For some history, you might like to head to the old town to see the influences left behind by the Dutch and Portuguese. You hotel can arrange a transfer, or try a local tuk tuk ride.

Day 9 : South beaches, Goa

Be sure to enjoy the local cuisine at many of the nearby seafood restaurants and cafes - always ask if the seafood was caught that morning and have it cooked how the chef recommends for the best flavours.

Day 10 : International return flight

Your driver will collect you and drive you back to the airport today for your return flight(s) home. Your return flight will arrive the same day.
