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.

For instance, Kolkata (formerly known as Calcutta), was originally founded as an East India Company trading post and was the capital of India while under the British Raj between the late 1700s to 1911. While no longer the seat of government, today it is known for its slow-life friendly attitude of the locals, grand colonial buildings, established art galleries, interesting temples and vibrant festivals. The city itself offers a lot to discover and is also a good base from which to explore further afield with unique travel packages from Kolkata and holiday packages from Kolkata travelling further afield with a Darjeeling trip package from Kolkata strongly recommended by our concierges.

Rajasthan, India’s largest state by area, is another hotspot when it comes to history and architecture. Here, one will find a mesmerising land of medieval forts and ancient maharajas, elegant palaces and age-old folklore, the iconic Taj Mahal and countless festivals. North India travel packages and India Rajasthan tour packages are highly sought after, often combining stays in heritage hotels and fortress homes with fort tours and camel treks through the enigmatic desert scenery.

Journeying through the mighty Himalayas provides a highly adventurous experience few explorers can pass up. Trekking tour packages in India take guests on thrilling mountain routes past rural villages and even more remote vistas. The northern territory of Ladakh and its capital of Leh, often serve as a popular base for adventure trip packages in India and heading into the Himalayas.

Sink into relaxation in southern India

It’s no secret that India is an assault on the senses – invigorating and thrilling yet overwhelming at times. Those looking to leisurely spend their days know to make their way south, to the tranquil states of Kerala and Goa. Kerala holiday packages India allow travellers to slowly glide through the region’s distinct backwaters on charming hand-built houseboats. A must-do while in the south, these dreamy excursions often include overnight stops and delicious local dishes cooked directly on board thanks to a private chef.
