Often overlooked in favour of the more tourist-friendly regions to the north and south, for the committed Indiaphile, the centre of the country offers a magical mix of experiences well off the beaten track. From manic urban centres to remote wilderness, bustling bazaars to tranquil villages, exotic architecture to endless beaches, Central India has it all.
Starting in Delhi this exciting tour will take us by train to Bhopal, where we will enjoy a fascinating heritage walk through the old town before visiting the spectacular Buddhist stupas at Sanchi and Palaeolithic caves at Bhenbetka. Heading south we’ll then enjoy three days in one of India’s most beautiful national parks; Satpura. Although covering some 1,500sq km, Satpura is home to only two lodges and twelve jeeps – a far cry indeed from many of the country’s other busy parks – making it a wonderful place to walk, ride or safari through. From here we head to the Raj era Hill Station of Pachmarhi before visiting the jewel of India’s Southern Crown, Hyderabad, where we will have dinner at the epic Falaknuma Palace. From here it’s on to the 15th-17th Century sites of Bijaipur, Badami and Pattadakal, before heading south to Hampi - the gem of Karnataka’s ruined cities. And after all that – a journey that will have shown a plethora of UNESCO World Heritage Sites - we enjoy our final two nights on one of Goa’s beautiful beaches. The accommodation is memorable, the cuisine is delicious, and the route will have you feeling like real travellers. Read more. http://www.wildfrontierstravel.com
