India is among the world’s most rewarding destinations, from the exhilarating pace of life in its cities to its inspiring nature and exquisite temples.

On a Cox & Kings India escorted tours and holidays, it’s as if you’re exploring an entire continent. In the north, you can visit the snow-dusted hill stations of the Indian Himalaya, and take a scenic rail ride aboard the Kalka-Shimla toy train.

Or follow India’s Golden Triangle between lively capital Delhi, the desert city of Jaipur, and Agra – home of the Taj Mahal. Southern states such as Kerala offer further contrasts, with tropical backwaters and golden beaches. Wherever you go, English is an official language and widely spoken, making it easy for you to interact with the locals.

In India’s national parks, you can see the wildlife that so inspired Rudyard Kipling. Embark on Bengal tiger safaris, spot exotic birds, and watch elephants as they tramp and trumpet in the forests and rivers. Then there is the cuisine – one of the country’s great cultural exports. There is no more authentic place to sample it than at India’s sizzling street-food stalls.

There are few destinations where you can stay in a former palace and recieve first-class service without breaking the bank: India is an exception. They include stays in luxury hotels and heritage havelis throughout their India escorted tours, ensuring a high level of comfort.
