India’s breathtaking scenery combined with its fascinating cultural history promises the holiday of a lifetime – and with some of the world’s most luxurious and romantic hotels it forms the perfect honeymoon destination.

In the north of the country, temples and palaces abound, the most famous being the Taj Mahal.  Fatehpur Sikri and the Amber Fort are also must-visit sights, or head off the beaten track to go tiger spotting in deepest Ranthambore National Park.

To the south lies Mumbai, India’s busiest metropolis – a startling contrast to relaxing destinations like the beach-lovers paradise of Goa and the utter tranquility of the Keralan backwaters, best discovered aboard a traditional houseboat.

India will enchant with its beauty and diversity, delight with colourful pageantry, enrich with culture, embrace with warmth, and overwhelm with hospitality – truly a never-to-be-forgotten experience and the ideal recipe for a perfect holiday.
