Tigers & the Taj holiday to India

See northern India through the eyes of a local, as your Indian tour leader gives you a first-hand insight into the exotic and colourful tapestry that makes up his or her amazing homeland. Discover its amazing wildlife, especially the mighty Royal Bengal tiger, as well as wander around it historic cities and visiting its magnificent Mughal tombs and palaces. These experiences impart to travellers the magnificence of these valuable natural and historical gems and the importance of them being preserved and protected, so that they can be enjoyed and appreciated by future generations. The northern part of India also has a rich and enduring culture, which is unveiled on this trip. Equally important, your local tour leader helps you to understand the traditions of the proud people that live in this part of the world, ensuring you don’t commit any cultural ‘faux pas’.

To support tour programs in India this operator is training their tour leaders on a variety of issues, from environmental awareness to First Aid. This not only assists in the conduct of a tour but also provides leaders with important life skills. By only employing tour leaders born and bred in the regions they visit, they are supporting local economies. This operator prefers to give their patronage to small owner-managed hotels rather than those from international chains, as they feel these places offer quality and character and also directly benefit local people. Through offering employment and steady revenue, tourism can ultimately make a real positive difference to local communities.
