Houseboats and Beaches

This unforgettable holiday not only provides you with a thoroughly Indian experience – Mumbai after all is one of the most important cities in India – but it also takes you to paradise! From Raj-era monuments such as the Victoria Terminus (re-named Chhatrapati Shivaj Terminus) to the serene and lush Keralan backwaters to the palm-fringed beaches of Goa this trip is fascinating and thoroughly relaxing. Our expert guides will introduce you to the highlights of Mumbai and Cochin before you board your private backwaters houseboat. As part of our arrangements we will suggest private shopping excursions, yoga, meditation, ayurvedic treatments, private cooking classes and the best beach-side restaurants for your evening cocktail and dinner. Sublime.
