Mother India has captured the imagination of intrepid explorers for centuries and still draws in intrigued travellers who want to experience the mystery, magic and majesty of this captivating land as well as adventurers to explore the sub-continent’s rich and varied geography, and what better way to enjoy this fascinating land than on tailor-made holidays to India by Secret Retreats. As the seventh largest country in the world and with a civilization more than 9,000 years old, this impressive country offers myriad destinations, activities and experiences to delight even the most discerning, well-travelled visitors. In this vast nation, there’s always something more to explore, particularly when opting for unique India holiday tour packages to guide your travels. You never know what you might come across, whether you’re in a bustling local market, taking a boat ride down the Ganges, making your way through Mumbai or trekking in the majestic Himalayan mountain range.

Though part of Asia, the Indian subcontinent seems worlds away from the nearby Southeast Asia or East Asia. Moving from the peaks of the snow-covered Himalayas in the northern part of the country to the famous sand dune deserts of royal Rajasthan, the massive metropolis of New Delhi to the surprisingly laidback tropical south, which is home to lush rainforests and languid waterways, one can luxuriate in a variety of unique landscapes. Whether taking a Darjeeling trip package from Kolkata from city to family owned tea plantation or entering the other worldly scenery of Kashmir on a Delhi to Ladakh trip package the Secret Retreats concierges are ready to tailor your India travels to suit. Of course, the countless different customs, cultures, cuisines and communities found throughout this great country also add to incredible India’s ongoing appeal. The birthplace of some of the world’s greatest religions and teachings, from Buddhism to yoga, and with a population of more than 1.3 billion people, India always has something to enchant explorers, regardless of whether you are on your very first visit or have already spent months criss-crossing and exploring this continent of a country.

With so much to offer, it’s often best to choose one region and dive deep into its delights rather than try to organise a whirlwind tour. Carefully-curated India holiday tour packages from the people who know the country the best – its locals – help you make the most of your precious time. And the Secret Retreats Concierges, Asia locals themselves, always work with community based teams for the best on the ground knowledge and support in each destination.
