HIGHLIGHTS

Explore seaside Mamallapuram on a bicycle tour, pedalling to the eightcentury Shore Temple and incredible seventhcentury stone carving known as Arjuna’s Penance.
Carve through the iridescent hills of Ootacamund (Ooty) on the vintage Nilgiri Mountain Railway, then visit a lush tea plantation.
Spot tigers, elephants, sloths and birds on safaris and nature walks in all three of India’s wildlife viewing hotspots – Mudumalai, Periyar and Ranthambhore national parks.
Cruise the winding backwaters of Kerala and further immerse yourself in life on the water with an island homestay in this idyllic region.

Start in Kochi and end in New Delhi, the India South & North trip is a guided active and outdoor tour that takes 29 days. You will travel through Jaipur, Villapuram, Mamallapuram and 21 other destinations in India. India South & North is a small group trip which includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.

This extensive 29-day adventure through India takes you from bottom to top, revealing the icons and local secrets of this diverse country. Revel in the tropical climate, warm waters and lush green landscapes of the south in places like Kochi, Puducherry and Madurai. Then be dazzled by kaleidoscopic colours, Mughal grandeur and the overt spirituality of the north in Jaipur and Agra. Travel from Kochi to Delhi and combine the slower delights of Kerala and Tamil Nadu with the rush and jumble of Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan on our longest Original-style India tour.

“Was busy before joining the tour so really looking forward to wind down and get a well-deserved break. Starting in the hotspot of San Francisco and finishing in mind-blowing LA, with a lot of great flora and fauna in between. Our guide was knowledgeable and managed to make everything smooth. Was fortunate to join a great group of people as well.”
