Massive, populous and diverse, India is an exotic must visit destination for the more adventurous touring team. In fact, the country has such vast differences in geography, climate, culture, language and ethnicity that it could be said that this is an opportunity to experience two or three tours in one. Hockey is big in India but strangely for a pastime with such high status - it is officially the country’s national sport – it is not the most popular. That honor, as in Sri Lanka, falls to cricket. Both nations are passionate about their national teams with an almost religious devotion and the likes of Tendulkar, Dravid, Jayawardene and Muralitharan are worshipped accordingly.

Goa

Prices from £1,300

Around two and a half million people a year make a pilgrimage to Goa, confirming its position as the ideal entry point to India for tourists. Renowned for its beautiful beaches, this former Portuguese colony was isolated from the rest of the country for over 400 years and has its own unique culture.

Mumbai

Prices from £1,300

Formerly known as Bombay, Mumbai is the commercial and entertainment capital of India and home to the Bollywood film industry. Eclectic and cosmopolitan, this port city is home to some of the country’s best beaches outside Goa as well as Borivali National Park and picturesque attractions like the hanging gardens at Malabar Hill.

Jaipur

Prices from £1,300

The largest city in the state of Rajasthan, Jaipur was built in the eighteenth century as India's first planned city. Colonial forts are among the many attractions as well as the traditional Bazaar, with the smell of herbs and spices filling the air, and traditional snake charmers luring cobras from their baskets.

Delhi

Prices from £1,300

Delhi is India’s second largest metropolis with 17 million people and is home to the nation’s capital, New Delhi. As such, it is seen as a focal point, attracting migrants from across the country in much the same way as London does in England. The result is a cosmopolitan mix of old and new values, rich history and rapid urbanisation.

Bangalore

Prices from £1,300

Known as the “Garden City of India”, Bangalore is renowned for its green spaces with a wealth of public parks. Conversely it is also a centre for the IT industry and as such attracts a young, wealthy workforce with attractions and leisure facilities to suit. This has led to Bangalore being regarded as one of the most modern “happening” cities in India with its hip status justified by the fact that it is twinned with the granddaddy of cool conurbations, San Francisco.
