From the hopelessly romantic and architecturally magnificent Taj Mahal and the breathtakingly opulent maharaja’s palaces, to the tantric temples of Khajuraho and the peacefully idyllic jungle retreats, the ever-enchanting Indian subcontinent has long been associated with love and everlasting devotion.
The awe-inspiring sights, cacophony of sounds, vibrant flavours and vivid colours are captivating, the culture most welcoming and the age-old traditions that are passed down through generations continue to entice curious, wanderlust travellers from all around the world.
Food is an integral part of Indian culture, with each region, religion and caste lending its own unique influences. From freshly caught seafood and coconuts on the coast, to fiery hot spices and chillies, aromatic curries and sweet cooling drinks, India’s cuisine has stimulated the senses and tempted the tastebuds for centuries.
