Travel to India the Himalayas

Immerse Yourself in an Ancient Land

India  is larger than life: a population that exceeds a billion, 23 official languages  and more than a million square miles of land. But one common thread runs  through it - India floods your senses from every direction.

In  this country of filigreed cities and ancient palaces A K shows you customs  going back millennia and sites that inspire awe. In Varanas, India's holiest  city, stand beside the Ganges River at dusk and listen to rhythmic drumming as  lantern-bearing priests bid the gods and goddesses a restful slumber. In Khajuraho, see all of life - joy, love, divinity, war  - depicted in detail on every inch of its 85 Hindu and Jain temples. In Panna,  take a private game drive in search of the graceful, elusive Bengal tiger and see  nine UNESCO World heritage sites along the way.

And you see this fascinating land from a rickshaw through  stalls of Chandni Chowk bazaar, on elephantback in the calm Jaipur countryside,  a private sunset cruise on the Ganges River or a luxury train that invokes the  romance of days gone by.

With superb local guides and incomparable service, A K  takes you on a voyage of discovery through this unforgettable land. Join one of our small group journeys or create your own tailor made journey of a lifetime.
