Golden Triangle and Ranthambore with Goa extension
Friendly, professional and all round fabulous. Our tour guide went above and beyond, hotels were gorgeous and India an absolute delight.
Golden Triangle and Ranthambore
Our holiday was in January 2026 and we had a fantastic time and a good time of the year to travel. A really good overview of Southern India for first time visitors. It is 19 days with 10 different hotels so be prepared to move on and have a full-on programme. This is India so predominantly the foods will be regional and not International. So many visits included - spice growers, tea plantation, bronze sculpture making, silk weaving. a lunch at a home, a cookery demonstration, traditional Kathakali dance performance, cycle rickshaw ride, temples and museums. Cities, Palaces, National Parks and nature. Overnight on a boat. Trains, narrow gauge and mainline.
