India

 

See India the Innovative Way - celebrating 21 years of creating extraordinary holidays

From the ancient explorers of the Silk route, to the early Roman trade in spices, Incredible India has lured many to her shores.  Discover the magic of India whether it be the medieval forts of Rajasthan, the Taj Mahal at sunrise, Raj architecture or exploring the Kerala backwaters by boat.  Today with our team's extensive knowledge of these regions, travellers now embark on their journeys as well equipped modern day explorers.  Walking in this exotic and ancient land, with our wonderful local representatives, providing all the assurance of professional local backup, the way will be easy.

        

India is a country that leaves a vivid and lasting impression - taste, sound, colour, sights and it's people.  Because of the sheer size of India, there is an unexpected diversity - mountains, rivers, lakes, lush and arid countryside.  India is home of the incomparable Taj Mahal, and relics of the Maharajah's and British Raj alike.

so ... why travel with the Innovative Travel Company?

Small Group Tours
(new for 2012): Your holiday is precious; hence our 'small group' journeys are designed to give you an experience of a lifetime.  Our fixed departure tours have been designed with great expertise and an extensive experience of India.  So instead of travelling in overcrowded large groups with hectic itineraries you can choose one of our small group tours with a maximum of 12 passengers.
