The seventh largest country in the world, India covers more than one million square miles and is home to 1.3 billion people. From the hectic cities to the scented temples to the colourful cuisine, this place is an exhilarating assault on the senses. So if you’re looking for a real adventure, a holiday to India certainly delivers. Whether you’re drawn to the country’s rich history, vibrant culture or awe-inspiring landmarks, you’re sure to have an unforgettable time.

India holidays are often associated with bustling metropolises, like Delhi and Mumbai, as that’s how the country is frequently portrayed on the big screen. While it’s certainly worth exploring these urban hubs – where skyscrapers soar above ramshackle bazaars and weaving tuk-tuks – there’s so much more to India than its cities. On a holiday to India, you can discover a range of jaw-dropping landscapes, from the snow-capped Himalayas in the north, to powdery beaches in the south.

If you’re not sure where to start with your India holiday, the Golden Triangle offers a great introduction. Stretching between Agra, Delhi and Jaipur, this is where you’ll find some of India’s most famous sites. You can take a tour of the Agra Fort and watch the sunrise at the Taj Mahal. Admire ornate buildings in rose-hued Jaipur, like the Palace of the Winds. And embark on a fascinating food tour of Delhi.

For something a little different, you could make tracks for the sprawling state of Rajasthan and embark on a camel safari through the desert. Or head to India’s cooler, mountainous north, where you can hike across alpine meadows in Sikkim, explore Assam’s tea plantations, or visit the British colonial towns dotted across Himachal Pradesh. Alternatively, for a more laidback holiday to India, why not relax on Goa’s blonde beaches, or go snorkelling in Kerala?
