India

Between Delhi’s agitation and the calm of Goa’s Portuguese roots, you will travel along the heart of this land of Gurus, Maharajas and countless legends. Surrender to the scent of the incense and thousand spices. Adventure yourself in a cuisine of exotic flavours to die for…a glass of water. Become part of the love story made eternal by every sunset reflected in the immaculate Taj Mahal. Fall in love with the contrast between the cities of a monochrome architecture and the pallet of a thousand colours of the sky above them.

With your guard already down, soak it all in at the idyllic peacefulness of Agonda and Palolem’s tropical beaches. Indeed, there will be a lot to digest in this adventure of unique experiences that only India has to offer. After all, in which other country could you share the road with people, cars, bikes, tuk-tuks, cows and monkeys while seated on top of an elephant?
