Roy Davies, Founder of World Discovery
“I first visited India in 1976 and have since returned on more than 40 occasions, discovering new and exciting aspects of this wonderful country on every visit. India is so big and varied that you can’t hope to cover it all in one go, so the question is where to start. I would wholeheartedly recommend the famous ‘Golden Triangle’ of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur as the best choice for a first-time visitor. A huge variety of experiences – including the Taj Mahal – contained in a relatively small area, which will whet your appetite for further exploration. We’ve included a sample itinerary as a guideline, but we can adjust this to suit your personalised ideas and requirements.”
This exotic land of vibrant colours and contrasts offers the visitor so many things….the incredible monuments of her ancient civilizations, a rich and complex cultural heritage, outstanding natural beauty and a unique and varied cuisine that is world-famous.
A land of dramatic fortresses and dazzling palaces, India is home to what is generally regarded as the world’s most romantic building – the glorious white-marble Taj Mahal in the Mughal capital of Agra – a must for any first-time visitor.
India is a land of amazing contrast and variety, its fast-moving modern cosmopolitan cities set against the backcloth of a rural nation where traditions are ancient and timeless, and its landscapes encompassing the mighty snow peaks of the Himalaya, the deserts of Rajasthan and the tropical jungles of the south.
For wildlife enthusiasts, the wish to see the magnificent Bengal Tiger is the big draw, but India’s extensive National Park network has much more to offer, including a truly astonishing variety of birdlife.
Wherever you travel in this vast and fascinating land you can be sure that you will be surprised and delighted. India is a veritable feast for the senses.
