India
The culture kaleidoscope of India and the turquoise waters and rolling hills of its teardrop island neighbour, Sri Lanka, will enlighten, inspire and challenge first-time travellers and seasoned veterans alike. Experiencing either country will gobsmack and delight you from chaotic Colombo in the south to serene Dharamsala in the north. The people, languages, customs, food and landscapes are hugely diverse and fascinating: In India, chaotic cities, colourful saris, rattling trains, holy rivers, welcoming villagers, world-renowned cuisine, hustling, bustling streets and romantic, captivating sights, sounds, scents and tastes weave together in an ever-fresh jumble, while in Sri Lanka, sleepy towns, historic fortresses and temples set snug in rolling hills, alongside wildlife reserves, charming colonial bungalows, beautiful beaches and the mad capital will similarly enthral.

The trip was very well organized and mixed. We had beaches, cities, backwaters, organized time as well as freetime. I enjoyed the trip a lot, because everything was organized and i had nothing to care about. I would do the tour with this tourleader every time again!

"Tour guide Rakesh in India were brilliant - he was flexible around our needs & more than happy to help by providing interpretation & guiding in organised activities - an asset to Gecko's. We also got to meet some fantastic local people. We will be back at some stage & hope to meet up once more with some of the people we met on this wonderful trip."
