Kerala

The southern Indian state of Kerala is home to many interesting sights and cities. Dominated by green jungles, palm-fringed beaches and rolling hills, it could be considered, India's most beautiful state.

We have a number of tours that include the areas below, to name just a few.

Cochin
Precious spices, silks and ivory drew traders from around the world to this cosmopolitan city of islands and waterways. Marco Polo, the Dutch East India Company and the British all influenced its development and at Fort Cochin stands India's oldest European church. Cochin is also renowned for its dramatic Kathakali dances.

Kumarakom and Backwaters
On the banks of the Vembanad lagoon, Kumarakom acts as gateway to over 930 miles of forest-fringed inland waterways. These can be explored on pretty rice barges or from the comfort of luxurious retreats. Waterfalls, coconut groves and slowly drifting boats make a constantly changing vista, while birdwatchers will delight at the 100 acre bird sanctuary.

    Mumbai is truly a mish mash of all things diabolical. Pieces of old colonial architecture can be found around the city, wealthy residences alongside astonishing poor slums, a labyrinth of bazaars, restaurants, clubs, bars, shopping outlets and an equal number of cave-temples.

    One of my highlights, was Elephanta Island, home to the three faced Hindu goddess Shiva.

    Overall, disappointed that our trip wasn’t long enough, but knew it was a great start to many.

    The driving to Jaisalmer from Jodhpur through the stunning Thar desert and its sand dunes dotted with tribal villages will always be special for me. As one approaches closer seeing the Golden fortress simmer in the distance is always special.

    It is such a frontier town with the beautiful colours everywhere from the fluorescent greens, and reds of the woman’s dresses contrasting with the terrain to the intricately carved Havelis and the numerous shops selling beautiful carpets and silver trinkets and the camels ambling by. I  absolutely loved walking inside the old town and watching the life go by and Jaisalmer  will always be one of my favourite places anywhere.

  • Nikhil Chhibber

    Kathmandu provides an adrenalin to the senses. Whizzing rickshaws, tucked away temples decorated in colourful flowers and some great choices for accommodation, it will delight any true traveller. 

    There are many great markets to pick great souvenirs, check out some of the beautiful architecture including the octagonal Krishna Temple.

  • Nikhil Chhibber

    I have travelled extensively throughout India, both through business and pleasure and it was there I had my first personal encounter with an endangered species, a Royal Bengal tiger in Central India.

    Since then  I have had the pleasure of witnessing India's rich diversity of wildlife, including the Nilgiri leaf monkey, the Asiatic lion, the Indian white-rumped vulture and of course, the majestic Indian elephants.
