Colonial charm in a sprawling city garden at Taj West End.

Just a few kilometres from the ancient city of Hampi, Evolve Back has created a wonderful, serene setting of lavish suites, against a backdrop of lush greenery.

Hoysala Village Resort is a rural retreat at Hassan in the heart of Karnataka.

Steeped in history, Taj Coonemara has been serving guests for over 100 years.

Mysore is known as a heritage city, and this hotel is very much a part of that heritage.

Once the former residence of the Nizam of Hyderabad, Taj Falaknuma Palace is a beautifully restored historic building perched high above the city.

From the tech-centric hangouts of Hyderabad to the UNESCO-listed ruins of Hampi, the mist-drenched mountains of Coorg to the historic markets of Mysore, this heritage-rich tour will take you off the tourist trail and into the heart of India’s intriguing south. Explore ancient crumbling temples, peaceful mountain trails, colonial-era streets, and ancient kingdom capitals as you get to know Telangana and Karnataka through the eyes of a local insider.

Ancient kingdom capitals, hidden mountain retreats and laid-back coastal stays come together in this all-encompassing trip through India’s scenic south. Embark on a tiger safari in the grasslands, ride a classic toy train through the Western Ghats and hear about the colonial influences that have shaped this part of the world on an 18-day adventure through two of the country’s most fascinating states.

This 11-day holiday blends city and beach. Explore Kolkata and Chennai, two extraordinarily atmospheric cities shaped by textured history and layers of culture. There's scope to explore at your own pace concentrating on spectacular colonial architecture, colour-rich temples and cosmopolitan scenes or choose from unique guided activities for deeper context. In between you can enjoy six rejuvenating nights at a hotel that ups-the-ante in the Andaman Islands deliciously stranded 850 miles east off the Indian coast.
