India – home to some of the most diverse and incredible cuisine, sights, smells and history – is begging to be explored by the daring and eager. Discover tastes like never before with spicy street food, decadent restaurant banquets, and a home-cooked meal with a local farmer on his spice plantation.

See beautiful henna hands, chow down on some chivda (a crunchy cereal snack), lose yourself in the labyrinth of lanes, but whatever you do don’t disrespect a cow – these are the rules of India. In a country of 1.2 billion, prepare for an overwhelming face slap of culture and diversity that is sure to stir the soul. Cities contrast between the rich and poor, old and new, good and bad. It may seem difficult at first, but the people, food and culture make it an utterly captivating destination. Plunge head first into an experience like no other.
