Holidays in Goa

Drown your senses in the exotic sights, sounds and smells of India. Holidays in India combine magnificent palaces, ancient civilizations, hectic cities, tranquil beaches and snow-clad mountains. The country's capital, New Delhi may feel terribly hectic and overwhelming at first, but offers a rich history and fascinating sights well worth exploring. Take a stroll round Old Delhi's maze of winding streets and visit the National Museum, with its impressive display of Indian history, spanning back to pre-historic times.

Holidays in India feature an abundance of fascinating cities and sights. Jaipur, called the 'pink city' because of its pink stucco buildings, has a more relaxed atmosphere than Delhi, and is renowned for its grand architecture and picturesque old town. The city of Agra is home to the Taj Mahal, one of India's most recognisable emblems, which was constructed by Emperor Shah Jahan in the 17th-century. Agra also features the striking red sandstone Agra Fort. To the far north of India, the gigantic Himalayan Mountains are truly breathtaking. Excursions of the mountainside villages are particularly popular.

Holidays in India often centre round the beautiful beaches of Goa. Situated on the southwest of India, Goa was a Portuguese colony until 1961. Popular with hippies in the 70s, Goa remains a chilled-out beach resort. Today Goa is renowned for its idyllic beaches, soft white sands, crystal-clear waters and colourful fishing boats. Holidays in Goa are often based within the popular beach resorts of Anjuna, Calangute Beach, Baga Beach and Colva.
