The mystic east has been a draw for western travellers for a very long time. India is one of the oldest civilisations in the world dating back 5000 years. Arab, Turkish, Moghul and European incursions have made it a bewildering mix of cultures. Despite much poverty, overpopulation and strife, it is still a wildlife haven comparable with Africa. Also, there are a staggering number and variety of forts, palaces, temples and historic buildings that trace the long and exciting history of a unique sub continent. India is a mainly Hindu country with 16 official languages, but English is widely spoken. The very life and clamour of India grabs you when you visit and holds you tight for your stay, encouraging you to come back again and experience this enormously diverse culture and country.
 From the Himalayan mountains of the north to the desert and marshes of the centre to the lush tropical land of ‘Gods own country’ in Kerala, the range and diversity is awe inspiring. The cool season lasts from November to March and this is the best time to make your visit. Tell Tigertail Tours where and when you would like to make your visit and what you want to see. It will be arranged by our experts in India.
