India

​

Those who travel to India describe their experiences in many ways: exotic, exhilarating, extravagant, emotional, enlightening, overwhelming and at times unsettling. Whatever their reaction, all agree that India is a vital inclusion in a portfolio of world travel that provides an immersive and fascinating sensory extravaganza.

 

The sights, sounds, smells and tastes are unlike any other place in the world. 

 

From the sweet, fragrant smell of cardamom to the spicy taste of smokey cumin, the aromatic and bold spices are intoxicating! 

 

It is a land of extreme contrasts: majestic cities and magnificent landscapes adjacent to poverty and hardship. Where religion, sacred ceremonies and cultural festivals are an obvious part of everyday life.

​

The cities are a fascinating cacophony of sounds and sites ... and are not to be missed.

​

But a highlight of the trip (and a maximum indulgence) is a few days at the end at the marvellous Ananda Spa in the Himalayas, with a visit to Rishikesh to witness the prayers by the River Ganges. I guarantee you will come home a new person!
