Ah, India!

Where to start? With the Taj Mahal or the Golden Temple of Amritsar? The mighty Himalaya or the sultry south? The tigers of Madhya Pradesh or the Great Rann of Kutch? The choices and wonder are endless.

You've got to start somewhere though, and here at ETG, we begin with you. We'd love to start talking to you about where India could take you and your travelling companion. In the meantime, we hope that the 'classic India' suggestions below will begin to give you an idea of how a holiday in India could take shape.

We’ve included holiday suggestions that take in the most famous sites, as well as a beach stay, holidays in Kerala alone and even a combination of India and the Maldives.

These itineraries concentrate on Rajasthan, Kerala and the Golden Triangle as these are the most common starting points for an India journey. The holiday you take with us will be tailor-made for you: these itineraries are just typical examples of the kind of routes we prepare. Challenge us to create an incredible experience for you, and we'll make sure you get the edge on all aspects of your luxury holiday in India.

Sometimes it's easier to speak to a specialist, so please feel free to call us whatever stage you are at with your planning.
