Tour information

Back to India!
This tour is designed for travellers keen to see more of this incredible country. We will explore some famous landmarks in places such as Cochin, Bangalore and Chennai but also plenty of hidden gems in the country hills around Ooty and Mysore. We have allowed some time to relax in what looks to be fabulous opulent accomodation. The tour is going to be guided by Rajeev Butali who has guided us on previous tours. He has been a great help in suggesting places to visit and tour logistics. If you join us you will love him!
