In a country as vast as India, curating a once in a lifetime India holiday can feel daunting. We’ve removed the second-guessing and distilled the most iconic destinations into a 2.5 week trip to showcase the cultural gems Rajasthan alongside the tranquility of Kerala in the south. From bustling cities to sleepy backwaters and sacred temples to forested jungles, the stunning array of natural landscapes will evoke wonder at every turn.
