Without question, India is the most engaging, colourful, chaotic, spiritual and life-affirming country in the world. It is an assault on the senses – all of them, nearly all of the time. The diversity of its cultural riches, from temple sculptures, architecture and murals to the artistry of ordinary people in a land where much is still made by hand, rivals the best of the Italian Renaissance. Our tour is India at it’s most extraordinary! We now invite you to join us on our fully escorted tour to Rajasthan, Agra, Khajuraho & Varanasi in 2016.
Everyone wants a piece of India. From Aryan, Afghani and Persian invasions of the British era, people from distant lands have sought to possess India’s treasures for themselves. But a funny thing always happens: India takes these foreigners and makes them Indians. Defying the doctrine of “us” and “them”, India weaves races, cultures and philosophies into a tapestry that grows richer and more intricate every day. In January/February 2011, Somerset Tours & Travel gives you the opportunity of experiencing yet another side of India, and that is the gentle, laid back side of it, packaged as South India: Tamil Nadu and the backwaters of Kerala.
Not so long ago, a journey to the high and remote regions of the Himalayas entailed a long and difficult expedition on foot with a donkey. Today it is possible to explore these unique and beautiful mountains in an easier way. The Indian Himalayas have some of the most extraordinary scenery in the world. There is something about the majesty and grandeur of these mountains that inspires even the most world-weary of travellers. Somerset Tours & Travel has put together a unique tour to these magical and mystical mountains of northern India and now invite you to join us on a once-in-a-lifetime voyage of discovery.
