BEST OF NORTH AND SOUTH INDIA

This tour blends the best of India's art and culture taking you through some of the most popular destinations in North and South India. You will tour the capital city Delhi which rewards the determined sightseer with more than a thousand monuments, before travelling to Agra to visit the stunning Taj Mahal. Continue your journey to discover the proud and valorous regal splendour of Rajasthan amongst its magnificent forts and palaces, mansions and landscaped estates. Visit one of India's premier Tiger parks – Ranthambore. This tour enables you to go on the trail of the majestic Royal Bengal Tiger in one of its prettiest refuge.  From there experience Ramathra which offers one a chance to experience the great outdoors and ‘village India ' at its best, combined with a little fort lifestyle and exceptional Rajput hospitality - a rural idyll; a birdwatcher's paradise; a nature lover's dream. Next enjoy the Pink city of Jaipur before flying off to the south India. Experience the charms of God's own country – with its back waters, simple people and picturesque natural beauty. Heading out from historic port town of Cochin to the backwaters of Kerala and spend a leisurely afternoon cruising in the traditional Kettuvallom house boats, along the waterways that form a dense network in Alleppey.
