India Holidays

Introduction
India is a huge country of extraordinary contrasts which range from the highest mountains in the Himalayas in the north, across fertile plains, arid deserts, jungle and hills before arriving at the southern tip. In between are over 2,000 ethnic groups, each with their own language and culture which from the primitive tribes in the north east and Andaman Islands to the colourful peoples of
In the last few years the standard of accommodation has improved dramatically with the addition of some very beautiful resort hotels making your stay in India all the more comfortable. For something more authentic and exotic, stay in one of the heritage hotels, Maharajas palaces converted to accept guests. While some are grandiose and others are quite simple, all of them exude an atmosphere of times gone by.
No single holiday to India can possibly take in the whole country, therefore careful planning is required to maximise on the time available. If you love it, you will return.
Client Viewpoint
"Our holiday in India was superb. Seeing tigers in the wild was simply amazing - thank you Steppes Travel!"
Mrs S, Hungerford.
Where To Go
Fly to Delhi, visit the Taj Mahal at Agra and then explore Rajasthan, visiting tiger reserves and staying in a mixture of 'heritage' hotels and exotic resorts.
Fly direct to the south of India, wander around the colonial city of Cochin before spending a few days drifting down the waterways of Kerala. End on the beach either at a resort or being pampered at an Ayuverdic spa.
Go on an Indian tiger safari, visiting one of the many fine tiger parks in India, such as Ranthambore, Bandavgarh and Kanha.
Fly north east and visit Darjeeling staying at a family run tea estate. Then travel east into the remote tribal areas on the border with Myanmar. If time allows, either drive up into the Himalayas or spend time riding elephants in a national park.
In the short window of opportunity in the summer, fly up to Ladakh and explore the area from the comfort of a hotel in Leh. For the more adventurous, take a trek into one of the remoter regions.
