Indian Cultural Exploration - Cuisine

Sumptuous cuisine

A key feature of an Indian Cultural Exploration is the cuisine. India is synonymous with spices and “curry”, and its cuisines are as varied as its people. Explore the many flavours of India, from the spicy street food of Old Delhi to the distinct romance of Avadh. Add a pinch of culinary history and a dash of traditional culinary arts, and your journey is the perfect recipe for any food lover and connoisseur! Taste authentic local delicacies and learn the secrets behind some of the country’s most popular dishes.

Indian Cultural Exploration - Safaris

Safaris

India is an incredibly diverse country for scenery and its associated wildlife giving the enthusiastic wildlife spotter a lot to get excited about. An Indian Cultural Exploration offers the opportunity to travel through steamy jungles, rain forests, large deserts, wide open plans and remote, unexplored mountains. Whilst India doesn’t have the density of large mammals on display that you can find in parts of Africa, it does have some unique species that you simply can’t see anywhere else in the world. Enjoy a safari with an exotic Indian twist.

Join a festival

Virtually every temple in every town or village across the country has its own festival. The biggest and most spectacular include Puri’s Rath Yatra festival, the Hemis festival in Ladakh, Pushkar’s camel fair Kullu’s Dussehra and the Kumbh Mela. While mostly religious in nature, merrymaking rather than solemnity is generally the order of the day, and onlookers are invariably welcome. If you’re lucky enough to coincide with a local festival, it may well prove to be the highlight of your trip. An Indian Cultural Exploration offers the opportunity to get stuck in with the local festivities

Stay in a community

Living with a local community and recognising our impact on local resources is one of the most important ways to give back to the beautiful communities that welcome us. Walk into the verdant jungles of Binsar and learn to identify different bird calls. On a Indian Cultural Exploration, stay at eco-friendly lodges and learn how the local community is preserving the ecology of the area. Be a farmer for a day; see a fascinating collection of butterflies; and visit India’s oldest national park.

Journeys in India

A wise man once said, “Sometimes it’s the journey that teaches you a lot about your destination. ” This is so true for India. Whether you choose to travel by train, private vehicle, use one of the many airlines or experience a camel cart, rickshaw or tuck tuck, travelling in India is a memorable experience. Travel is often chaotic and always memorable. In a country with a population of over a billion people, journeys are a daily way of life.

When to go on an Indian Cultural Exploration

The Indian climate is special, and because it is so vast the weather varies a lot from region to region. India is generally sunny year-round and is at its hottest between March and June, with the monsoon season following from June to October. It’s still plenty hot during the winter months, but it does get very chilly during the night, especially in the north.

Destinations in west and central India and the deep south are best visited from October to March. We recommend seeing northwest and northeast India between November and early March. The Himalayas are at their best from March to October.
