Travel Indochina has announced the launch of its new Handmade Holidays: India & the Maldives brochure. The brochure is currently being distributed to travel agencies across Australia.
The Travel Indochina Handmade Holidays range provides travellers with a specially-selected range of travel products from across India. The focus is on heritage and boutique-style accommodations and unique touring.
In India, hotels include colonial-era icons, historic merchant homes converted into charming guesthouses and spectacular palaces – some still home to the descendents of former maharajas.
Touring packages include City Stays, which provide an all-inclusive itinerary in the most popular centres like Delhi and Mumbai. Two new tours will take travellers to some of the lesser-visited regions of the spectacular Indian Himalaya:
* The 5-day ‘Hidden Ladakh’(from $519 pp twin share) explores the dramatic high altitude landscapes and colourful Tibetan Buddhist culture of one of India’s most remote and exotic regions.
* The 3-day ‘Darjeeling Estate Experience’ (from $811pp twin share) travellers stay on a historic tea plantation and experience estate walks, tea tastings, beautiful mountain vistas and a visit to the world’s most famous tea town, nearby Darjeeling.
* The 4-day ‘Kaziranga Rhino Safari’ (from $764pp twin share), which guarantees sightings of the Indian one-horned rhino and other wildlife including deer, Asian elephant, water buffalo and with luck, a tiger.
* The 3-day ‘Temples & Tigers’ (from $1075pp twin share) combines the World Heritage-listed Khajuraho temples with Bandhavgarh National Park, possibly India’s premier tiger-viewing habitat.
