India

Contrasts of India

Highlights: The Himalayan foothills and wildlife of Corbett National Park - The Golden Triangle: Old Delhi, Agra & Jaipur including Bharatpur sanctuary - Kerala for Cochin - a backwater rice boat cruise - beach for relaxation

Start your honeymoon searching for tigers in Corbett, a very scenic National Park which was the first to come under Project Tiger. You will see tracks of many tigers but they can remain elusive in the thick forests. There are also wild elephants in the park and elephant back safaris are also possible. In open grassland areas will see chital or spotted dear and other wildlife. Bird life in this area is also very good. Beyond the hills are glimpses to the high snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas.

Next you will tour the classic sights of India, the Jama Masjid and Old Delhi, take the Shatabdi Express train to Agra and visit the ever impressive Taj Mahal, a monument to love. Leave Agra for the deserted city of Fatehpur Sikri and overnight in a heritage palace at Bharatpur. Here you can take a walk with a naturalist to discover some of the prolific birdlife of this sanctuary. Continue on to bustle of the old pink city of Jaipur and the classic Rajasthani fort/palace of Amber Fort.

On return to Delhi you will fly down to Cochin in Kerala, southern India. A world away from Rajasthan and the north, Kerala is green and pleasant. There is time to take in a tour of this ancient trading port with English, Dutch, Portuguese, Chinese and Middle Easter influences, before heading off for quiet relaxation floating along the backwaters in a converted riceboat. You will have the boat to yourselves except for a couple of crew and a cook. This is the perfect antidote to the frenetic north and you watch village life drift by.

The palm-fringed beaches of Kerala are superb and make for a classic end to a trip through India. A small, beachside boutique hotel is our choice to round off this memorable journey.
