When in India

EXPERIENCE TRAVEL GROUP gives its list of ten must-do experiences 
in #India … 

Stay in a remote fort – The only thing better than visiting a fort is being able to live in one. There are many forts to choose from – arguably the best being Ramathra and Bhainsrorgarh.

Heritage Homestay – Travellers can get a real feel for the culture of Rajasthan, and hear colourful tales of the region’s rich history straight from the local people, with Experience Travel Groups’ heritage homestays. One of the best can be found at the Dera Mandara in Jaipur, where guests can also learn how to home-cook traditional curry.

Rajasthan Classics – Rajasthan is India’s most culturally vibrant state, with a history that dates back thousands of years. Also known as the land of kings, it has numerous majestic forts, palaces, wildlife sanctuaries, and national parks.

Satpura National Park – One of India’s least visited national parks, Satpura is unique in offering visitors opportunities to choose how they explore the reserve – by jeep, on foot, canoe, kayak, or elephant. Satpura has tigers, leopards, bisons, and wild boars.

Glenburn Tea Estate – In the Himalayan foothills, the estate’s hotel provides views of the third tallest mountain in the world, Kanchenjunga.

Neeleshwar Hermitage – On the less frequented coast of Northern Kerala, this is a destination for rejuvenating body and spirit. Travellers can relax at the hotel’s Ayurveda spa, meditate, or learn yoga.

Camping in national parks – Camping is one of the best ways to experience forests and nature reserves. One of the very best campsites is Shergarh in the Kanha Tiger Reserve, where the owners have exceptional knowledge of the area.

Maheshwar – On the banks of the Narmada River, Maheshwar is a 4,000-year-old town in India’s most central state, Madhya Pradesh. A highlight is the Ahilya Fort, which was turned into a hotel in 2000.  The town is buzzing with people praying, doing yoga, sages chanting, and children swimming in the river.

Trekking in Uttarakhand – Uttarakhand is renowned as one of India’s prime destinations for Himalayan adventures, trekking, and white-water rafting, but tourists seeking a more tranquil experience can make a spiritual journey to Rishikesh, the town famously visited by The Beatles in the 1960s.

The Taj Mahal – The world-famous symbol of love stands on the banks of the Yamuna River. The purity of the white marble, the precious gemstones, and location make it one of the iconic tourist attractions in the world.  The luxury The Oberoi Amarvilas hotel has unrivalled views of the Taj.
