Tailor Made Tours & Holidays to Eastern India
RETURN TO DARJEELING & SIKKIM
PRIVATE JOURNEY – 17 DAYS – From £3,600
A scenic tour of the eastern Himalayas, this tour is an excellent introduction to the eastern Himalayan region. Starting with a stay in Kolkata, former capital of the British Raj, it is truly a fascinating city. Continue on to visit the old Raj hill station of Darjeeling before continuing on to explore some of the many monasteries in Sikkim. This is a breathtaking state, excellent to explore on foot and a place enhanced by the friendly people and beautiful scenery.
JOURNEY TO SHILLONG
PRIVATE JOURNEY – 13 DAYS – From £3,600
This scenic itinerary discovers the highlights of Assam and Meghalaya, two of India’s least known states. The route follows the mighty Brahmaputra from Dibrugarh to Kaziranga, home to one of India’s finest National Parks, and, from here, your journey continues to Meghalaya. Known locally as the ‘Abode of the Clouds’, Meghalaya is cradled within the rain shadow of the colonial and friendly town of Shillong where you return to Kolkata for the end of the tour.
CRUISING ON THE MIGHTY BRAHMAPUTRA
ASSAM BENGAL NAVIGATION CRUISE – PRICE ON REQUEST
These cruises, of varying length, are operated using the RV Charaidew and her sister ship the RV Sukapha. These are the only cruise boats that nowadays operate on the Brahmaputra River, a once much-used river highway but now deserted and a haven for birdlife and river dolphins. Taking the major attractions along the way the cruises not only visit the National Parks along the river, but also take time to visit the many temples, tea gardens and tribal villages that there are to explore.
TRIBAL ORISSA
PRIVATE JOURNEY - 16 DAYS - From £3,400
This exploratory tour introduces the intrepid traveller to the little-visited predominately tribal state of Orissa in eastern India. Travel from cosmopolitan Kolkata to Visakhapatnam before heading deep into the countryside villages to meet members of the Bonda, Gadaba, Desia Kondh and Paroja tribes before ending at the remarkable Sun Temple at Konark. Please note that this tour is designed to coincide with the tribal markets days in Orissa which are the main highlight of this itinerary.
