About this tour

Explore the historical and cultural riches of central India. This full-on tour whisks us from the hustle and bustle of vibrant Mumbai to the tranquil white-sand coasts of Goa, via the Deccan Plateau, ticking off temples, mausoleums, and must-see UNESCO sites. From city slums to the effervescent bazaars and slow-paced villages, this two-week trip gives you a taste of true India, as it is today, and as it once was. Mumbai - Explore the most-populated city in India, from the glittering skyscrapers to the slums of Dharavi, the inspiration for 'Slumdog Millionaire'. Bijapur - Visit the vast Gol Gumbaz, the Deccan mausoleum of King Mohammed Adil Shah. Ajanta and Ellora - Explore the UNESCO-listed painted caves and rock-cut temples.
