Eastern India Holidays
Kolkata, principal city of eastern India, is a place of extreme contrasts, a forward-thinking intellectual capital of India home to some of the nations finest writers and poets as well as the setting for some of the grandest landmarks of the British Raj. To the north of Kolkata, in the shadows of the mighty Kanchenjunga, lie the old Raj hill station of Darjeeling and the small Buddhist Himalayan state of Sikkim with its monasteries and high-altitude scenery. It is possible to cruise the Hooghly River between Kolkata and Patna opening up a huge swath of India’s interior and allowing access to Barrackpore, Murshidabad, Plassey and Monghyr. Some cruises now continue further to Varanasi as well. Visits can also be made to Bodh Gaya, site of Buddha's enlightenment, or travel south to Odisha to visit Bhubaneshwar, Puri and the local indigenous villages surrounding Jeypore. Utilise our knowledge and experience to create the perfect holiday to eastern India. We are also specialists in creating luxury tours throughout the wider Indian subcontinent.
