Coastal Adventures

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to travel like a local in India? We’ll put you on a train to explore the west coast of the country (just like the natives do!) over 12 days. After you experience the Taj Mahal, visit the colourful Rajasthani streets of Jaipur and Udaipur. Relax on the beach in Goa and indulge in fresh seafood right from the coast. This train trip is sure to be a classic – get there first.

Eating and Drinking

There is a wide variety of incredibly delicious cuisine such as all kinds of amazing curried vegetables, flat breads, rice, lentils, chutneys, fresh cheeses, fruits and endless exquisite sweets made from milk, sugar and wheat. Most Indians are lacto-vegetarians although some people eat chicken or fish but rarely red meat.

What to See and Do

India is a vast South Asian country with diverse terrain – from Himalayan peaks to Indian Ocean coastline – and history reaching back 5 millennia. In the north, Mughal Empire landmarks include Delhi’s Red Fort complex and massive Jama Masjid mosque, plus Agra’s iconic Taj Mahal mausoleum. Pilgrims bathe in the Ganges in Varanasi, and Rishikesh is a yoga centre and base for Himalayan trekking.
