Destinations in India

• 

  Delhi

  India's capital can be bamboozling, but once you look beyond the chaos and colour, you'll find an ancient city that’s rapidly modernising, with one foot in the past and the other careening towards the future.
• 

  Kanha National Park

  It’s not surprising that Kanha National Park was the inspiration for Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book; tigers, leopards, wild dogs and sloth bears pad the forest floor, and tribes of monkeys rule the treetops.
• 

  Karnataka

  Millennia ago, Karnataka was the seat of ancient empires. Today, follow in their rulers’ footsteps though Dravidian temples, Vijayanagara ruins and the royal city of Mysore… or just lounge on the pristine beaches by the Arabian Sea.
• 

  Kerala

  Coconut-studded coastlines, canal-like backwaters, and undulating evergreen hills – the tropical beauty of this south-west swathe of India is unrivalled.
• 

  Pench National Park

  As Pench National Park’s most-protected residents, the tigers burn especially bright in this green expanse, teeming with life. Set in the central Indian highlands, below Madhya Pradesh, this tropical spot will fascinate aspiring Attenboroughs and Mowglis.
• 

  Rajasthan

  With its maharaja’s palaces, dazzling sari fabrics and swathes of russet-red desert, Rajasthan and its hubs of Jaipur, Jodhpur and tiger-toting Ranthambore National Park is the stuff of fairy tales.
• 

  Srinigar

  Srinagar is the lake-dotted and valley-surrounded summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir.
