Highlights

Explore the waterfalls, tea plantations and spice markets of South India’s Western Ghats – a jungle-clad mountain range older than the Himalayas and one of the most biodiverse regions in the world.

Step back in time among the hills of the British ‘Snooty Ooty’ – home of snooker and the Nilgiri toy train.

Search for elusive wildlife, including elephants, sloths and birds on a safari around one of the best places in India to observe nature up close – Periyar National Park.

Experience a unique way of life with a family homestay and home-cooked meals in the idyllic backwaters of Kerala.

Soak in India’s changing landscapes on a trip that uses rail travel. By choosing trains to get around, you’ll be giving yourself the best opportunity for local interaction, at a more relaxed pace.
