Along with Alappuzha, Kollam, Cochin, Kumarakom and Thiruvananthapuram all offer a unique touch to this extreme boating experience.Kerala's backwaters are nicknamed the “Venice of the East” and provide amble experiences for your eyes to feast on and your mind to thrive on.

Kashmir - Heaven on Earth

The state of Kashmir boats a cultural history of over 4000 years, and since 1948, became part of India when the ruler of Jammu & Kashmir joined. Beautiful valleys, snow-capped mountains, rivers, alpine meadows dot the entire state and the people of Kashmir are one of the most diverse and most beautiful people. Kashmir also has unique strains of Buddhism that date as far back as Buddha himself and is a unique blend of India and China. Srinagar-Leh and Manali-Leh host many expeditions in the Himalayan Mountains, perfect for any adventurous tourists. Kashmir also has plenty of Buddhist and Hindu monasteries and pilgrimage sites for those that are spiritually keen. The magic of Kashmir is enchanting, truly a piece of Heaven on Earth.

Rail Tour - Palace On Wheels

Your tour of India is not complete unless you take a tour on the “Palace on Wheels.” The train is the ultimate definition of luxury rail tour. An array of elegantly furnished cabins, well stocked bar, sumptuous Indian delicacies served in its two dining cars, replete with traditional royal treatment of its guests are but a few features of this tour. The dining services are the most varied and one of the most excellent to be found on any luxury rail systems which include: Continental, Chinese, Indian and Rajasthani cuisines. The eight day tour starts in Delhi and takes you through some of the most historic and beautiful cities of India while letting you explore the countryside and taking specially guided tours of certain areas. At the end of the tour, you will find yourself back in Delhi, ready for another trip.

Swarn Mandir - The Golden Temple

Dazzling in the serene waters of the Amrit Sarovar is the Swarn Mandir, or the Golden Temple, a holy site for the followers of Sikh Religion. Located in Amritsar, the temple is a work of beauty… encompassed in gold and precious stones, the temple is an architectural wonder. The temple is near the Wagah Border crossing area between India and Pakistan so once you have visited the temple, you can visit the Wagah border to see the pompous border closing ceremony that Indian and Pakistani soldiers carry out every day.

Mussoorie - Queen of the Hills

Mussoorie was one of the favorite outpost of the British due to the lush valley and the perfect location of its landscape. Uttarakhand is the state of India, proud to be the host to Mussoorie. The area is heavily influenced by the Tibetan exiles; especially since it was the first area used by the Tibetan government in exile and later was turned into a Tibetan Buddhist school. However, the natural beauty of Mussoorie is rivaled by none other. Its sylvan valleys, majestic mountains, pure, invigorating air, sulphur springs and panoramic views draw visitors to its embrace from far and wide. Along with its verdant beauty, Mussoorie also offers an exciting range of activities to its visitors. From horseback riding through pristine mountain trails to hiking, boating and even a wide variety of video game parlors and an amusement park for children, Mussoorie has something to see and do for people of all ages and interests.
