Discover India’s Rich Heritage & Cultural Diversity

Through heritage tours and cultural journeys, you get to experience that diversity in all its vivid colours — from royal forts and palaces to quiet village life, from sacred temples to bustling bazaars.

 

Some of the unforgettable India travel experiences you can expect:

  • Historic Monuments & Architectural Marvels: Explore centuries-old forts, regal palaces, ornate temples, royal havelis — testament to India’s layered history and magnificent craftsmanship. Heritage tourism reveals stories of ancient empires, royal dynasties and cultural transformations.
  • Living Traditions & Local Culture: Witness local art, crafts, music, dance, cuisine and community life as you travel across different states — each region with its unique traditions and identity.
  • Authentic Experiences Beyond the Surface: These experiences are of wandering the narrow lanes, talking with the artisans, and staying in either a heritage property or a local homestay — all of which can be regarded as offering the visitor a much deeper connection beyond the mere sightseeing.
  • Nature, Landscape & Spirituality: Join together the heritage with the peace and tranquillity — the silent backwaters, the green and beautiful hills, the spiritual towns, the quiet temples or the soulful villages.
