Slowly down the Ganges – Holy India
Calcutta - Patna - Ganges River - Varanasi - DelhiDrift slowly down the Ganges right in the heart of this magical corner of spiritual India, from Varanasi to Patna.
Calcutta is often view by Indiaphiles such as us, as their favourite city in India. The architecture is sublime, from the colonial British building left behind, to the maze of small bustling streets and vibrant art scene. Days can be spent just walking around, immersing yourself in the culture and traditions. Move north and you find the British hill station of Darjeeling, which as the name suggests is surrounding by lush green tea plantations set under snow-capped Himalayan peaks. To the north, and the trekking and views gets even better in Sikkim, a timeless former Buddhist Kingdom that in untouched by modern life. Across to the north-east, you find the mighty Brahmaputra River, where we can offer river cruises. For wildlife lovers, we can include a visit to Kazaranga National Park, home to the one-horned rhino.
We arrange totally bespoke trips and design an itinerary that is designed around you. You may have seen a suggested itinerary that we can base your plans around, or we can start with a blank sheet and paper and design something from scratch. You can leave a phone number and suggest a time to call you back, and we can also arrange to do this during the evenings or at weekends if you are busy during the daytime. We can also meet up with you in you fancy a coffee and are based in and around London.
