So far as I am able to judge, nothing has been left undone, either by man or nature, to make India the most extraordinary country that the sun visits on his rounds. Nothing seems to have been forgotten, nothing overlooked.

India tailor-made holidays
India holiday experts at WEXAS will tailor-make all aspects of your itinerary to create a India holiday, personal to you.
India is arguably the most multi-cultural country anywhere on earth. Home to more than a billion people, the diverse mix of ethnic groups and spiritual beliefs creates an intoxicating concoction that most travellers love to try to unmask on their holidays here.
Some of the best classical sites to visit are Jodhpur’s extravagant Meherangarh Fort which towers above the old city; the temples of Khajuraho, complete with erotic carvings; the fabled Golden Temple, the holiest shrine for Sikhs, at Amritsar; Varanasi’s bathing ghats beside the Ganges where pilgrims swarm; the dramatic hillside monastery at Tikse; and, of course, what is possibly the world’s most beautiful building, the Taj Mahal.
Not only does it have a varied culture, but it also has one of the most varied landscapes anywhere. You can hike across the lunar world of the Himalaya at Zanskar, wander through Kaziranga Natinonal Park on the back of an elephant, check out the raucous beachlife at Goa or chill along nearby Gokarna’s coast, and take a leisurely boat trip through Kerala’s backwaters.
And then there’s the throbbing hustle and bustle of India’s cities, as well as their food, still to discover.

India tailor-made holiday highlights
RajasthanAn almost biblical landscape: Dust roads populated with carts pulled by loping camels, and rickshaws; fields dotted with women working in vivid saris and men squatting outside small villages where cow pats, used as fuel, dry on the roofs. Explore forts and palaces in the 'pink city' of Jaipur and the 'blue city' of Jodhpur. Romantic Udaipur captivates with fine architecture and the scenic lake palace. Finely sculptured Jaisalmer, the 'golden city', perches on the edge of the Thar Desert.
VaranasiExperience religious fervour in perhaps India's most holy city, on the banks of the sacred River Ganges. Take a boat at sunrise and row past funeral pyres at the burning ghats, and pilgrims washing in the dirty but divine water.
Taj MahalThe chaotic city of Agra is the somewhat unlikely location for one of the world's most beautiful buildings. Its glistening marble facade shines under the moonlight, like 'a tear on the face of eternity'.
KeralaThe picturesque town of Cochin, with its traditional Chinese fishing nets, lies at the coastal fringe of this verdant landscape of idyllic backwaters. Explore spice bazaars and wildlife sanctuaries.
Mumbai Bustling port city and commercial centre. Home to the colourful Bollywood film industry, not to mention 18 million citizens.
AmritsarFriendly city and spiritual home of the Sikh faith, the focal point of which is the peaceful and awe-inspiring Golden Temple.
HimalayaBeautiful and peaceful McLeod Ganj, or 'Little Lhasa' is surrounded by snow covered peaks and home to exiled Tibetans including the Dalai Lama. Catch the Himalayan Queen, also called the 'toy train' from the very English hill station retreat of Shimla. Cool down in the vast tea plantations of Darjeeling and Assam.
