Land of the Maharajas

India is an immense territory, brimming with so much wealth that you will need to plan several trips to discover it. Whether you return moved or fascinated, India leaves no one indifferent. North India is home to the « Golden Triangle » formed by the cities of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. The capital surprises with its cacophony, the cohabitation of old quarters and the New Delhi, son Fort Rouge et sa magnifique mosquée Jama Masjid. Agra, the Taj Mahal, a prodigious monument whose construction spanned 22 years, is the country's emblem. It is at dawn, before the crowds, that this architectural gem shines with beauty. At Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, you can admire Amber Fort and majestic pink buildings. Don't miss the City of Udaipur detaching itself from the Aravalli mountains, a captivating city with white houses and a gigantic palace bordering the Lake Pichola. Further east, discover Varanasi, a major Hindu pilgrimage site. Hop on a train alongside Indian families to criss-cross the country, watching the landscapes of valleys morph into hills and wild jungles. At the foot of The Himalayas, take in some fresh air amidst the Darjeeling plantations. Observe rhinoceroses in the Kaziranga National Park, or the elusive tiger within the Corbett National Park and of Ranthambore. Then head towards South India to discover the superb beaches of Goa ; the rich religious heritage of Tamil Nadu and the French atmosphere of Pondicherry ; The sprawling Mumbai to the unique architectural diversity; the backwaters from Alleppey, interleaving of streams, lagoons and lakes; the 400 temples of Hampi scattered in a rocky landscape… India: a whirlwind of colours, emotions, life, beauty.
