Periyar

This vast reserve, stretching over 750 square kilometres of densely forested terrain in the Cardomom Hills, does have a few tigers and leopards, but they are rarely seen out of the dry season in April and May and even then sightings are rare. However, its lake (which offers boat trips) attracts thousands of birds, and sightings of elephants, sambar and bison are frequent. There are also Malabar giant squirrels, striped mongeese and wild boar.

I can't think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything.

- Mr & Mrs Manson, North India
Difficult to choose the highlight of the trip, can’t choose between… 1) Taj Mahal & Oberoi Amarvilas. 2) Ranthambore. 3) Lake Palace. We have to say a particular thank you for selecting Parmod as our driver. He is a delightful and kind man who took our holiday and our enjoyment as his responsibility. Thank you for putting together such an amazing trip for us. The balance of city and rural destinations was perfect for us and the variety of rooms and hotel types brilliant. Our driver and guides also added so much to the trip with their knowledge of India’s history and culture and their willingness to discuss it both from a professional and personal angle.
