Hindustan On The Horizon

28/07/2016General Articles

A new destination is on the horizon for Bamboo Travel - probably the most exciting, intoxicating, and colourful of all. After years of nudging from our clients, and no little interest from ourselves, Bamboo are taking on India.

Not a straightforward task of course, India is massive: a kaleidoscope of landscapes, languages, and religions, each corner more like a country in its own right. It's never our style to run with a half-baked highlights package, so we have undertaken thorough research to ensure that our India tours will be conducted very much in the Bamboo style: thoughtful itineraries with adventures on-and-off the beaten track, handpicked accommodation with comfort and character across a range of price levels, and partnering with the very best local suppliers to ensure our clients are well looked after at all times. The latter point is especially prescient in India. During our recent visits we have found guides to be excellent: not only good-humoured, flexible, and welcoming, but also great characters who can transform a bog standard city tour into a voyage of discovery. This enables us to not only deliver tours of comfort and quality, but enables our clients to truly get under the skin of this fascinating destination.

A selection of sample itineraries have been put together providing a showcase of what we can offer. Compact tours covering the Golden Triangle and beyond, or the myriad attractions of tropical Kerala; three-and-four week in-depth examinations of Northern and Southern states; off-the-beaten track adventures in rural Rajasthan; even a Grand Tour covering all points in between...we intend to cover the Subcontinent with the depth and expertise our clients have come to expect.

Culture vultures, historians, wildlife enthusiasts, those enthralled by the chaos of urban south Asia, those who enjoy the serenity of beaches and backwaters, travellers looking for palatial luxury or those who prefer a charmingly eccentric homestay - the Subcontinent can offer it all. Very soon Bamboo will be able to bring you India in all its technicolour majesty...watch this space for more!
