HAMPI £70
At Hampi, archaeologists continue to unravel the history of this 14th Century, Capital City of one of the greatest Hindu Empires in India. Travel by train to Karnataka for 2 nights / 3 days to witness for yourself the incredible ruins spread over an area of more than 26 sq.kms., including the Vittala Temple with its musical pillars. End an exciting day watching the sun set from the highest point above the city and experience a train journey back to Goa. Unforgettable.

Tiger & Elephant Safari £95
Go on a memorable 2 nights / 3 days tour by train to Karnataka and meet some of the great animals of India. Not only will you visit an elephant training camp and the tiger & lion reserves, but also see different types of living; the people in their villages and a stop at a bamboo forest. Wildlife and nature of two Indian states at its best.

Houseboat £77
A truly exclusive and unrivalled overnight excursion in Goa. Owing to demand, the houseboat should be booked at your welcome meeting. Known as the 'Floating Palace', this is a four-bedroomed, wooden houseboat with modern facilities and toilets! Cruise up the Mandovi River, past the capital, to where the river meets the sea as sunset approaches. On a full-board basis, this is the most romantic of trips. For a wonderful night with that special someone.

Jungle Book £87
A 2-day, overnight tour on a full-board basis to give you a taste of the 'Real India'. Stay in Shanti, a tiny hamlet located within the Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary, surrounded by natural beauty. Activities include a village tour, jungle walk, cultural entertainment, yoga, Ayurvedic massage (extra), Hindu temple and spice plantation visits. The highlight for many people is the ride on the back of an Indian elephant. For the lucky ones, there's also the chance to bathe the elephant in the river. A truly memorable experience, bringing the heart of India within the grasp of every visitor.

Mumbai Darshan £170
The busiest, commercial city of India, Bombay was renamed as Mumbai in 1996 after the goddess Mumbadevi. This is the city that never sleeps and the shopping opportunities are second to none. This is a 3 night / 3 days trip by return train travel with accommodation in a 3* hotel with air-conditioning on a B&B basis with sightseeing to places of interest included.

Ocean Rhapsody £45
Paradise revisited. An overnight stay (fullboard basis) on Cola Beach in the heart of Canacona, one of the most beautiful areas of South Goa. Accommodation is in one of only 12 self-contained, luxurious tents from Rajasthan, a unique and enterprising idea complementing this bay to perfection. Swim in the freshwater lake or go dolphin spotting with the fishermen. If you're looking for the ultimate beach experience, Cola will live up to your expectations of complete peace, relaxation and exotic beauty. Highly recommended.

Exotic Hindu Wedding £139
Experience what it is like to be married in a Hindu ceremony. The bride has her hands painted with henna, mehendi, and has the opportunity to wear a Sari. The groom is dressed in a traditional Kurta. The couple are then taken to the temple where a marriage ceremony is performed. An ideal way to renew your vows or try married life before you embark on it for real! (This is only a mock ceremony as a renewal of marriage vows and not a legal binding marriage.)
