It's Time to Go Back to India From the majestic Himalayas in the north to the idyllic backwaters and beaches in the south, India has it all. Her incredibly warm people are welcoming us back to their endlessly fascinating and colorful country. Most travelers stick to a few tried and true "must-see" locations, and those are all wonderful - but India is a massive country and we strongly recommend also leaving the beaten track and exploring on a deeper level. Departures magazine has recently named Remote Lands one of the top 10 India operators in the world. Whether you seek mountains, beaches, active adventure or cultural learning and enrichment, Remote Lands can create your holiday of a lifetime at excellent value. Please call us today for recommendations and a complimentary consultation at +1.646.415.8092. |

Village Treks in the Himalayas Ladakh Situated in India's northernmost state, Ladakh, or "Little Tibet," has a cornucopia of authentic experiences in the spectacular Himalayas. The unique Shakti Ladakh experience offers comfort and luxury in remote villages in far-flung locations. Stay in refurbished village homes, trek through apricot orchards, raft down the Indus River, and rise early to visit Buddhist monks in remote monasteries. If you arrive in July, you can attend the annual Hemis Festival in which lamas perform mask dances and plays. This remarkable journey is offered only from May to September. |

Undiscovered Beauty Gujarat Despite miles of stunning beaches on the Arabian Sea, amazing architecture and boutique heritage hotels, Gujarat has relatively few tourists. Visit the breathtaking hilltop town of Politana with over 1300 marble Jain temples, a near-unknown manmade wonder of the world; the picturesque former Portuguese colonies of Diu and Daman; the Great Rann of Kutch famous for its Wild Ass sanctuary, and sparsely populated with minority tribes renowned for their distinctive dress and crafts; and Gir National Park, the last refuge for the critically endangered Asiatic lion. |

Hidden Rajasthan Alwar A short drive from Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, Alwar is a rustic area that is dotted with anachronistic wonders: camel treks to see Meena villagers driving their livestock home at dusk; ancient structures such as Bala Qila and the Neelkanth Temples; and the deserted ghost city of Bhangarh, which remains just as it was in the 17th century. Stay at Amanbagh, an uber-luxurious hideaway amongst the world’s finest hotels, where you can practice fire meditation, have a private cooking lesson and visit the Sariska Wildlife Reserve with tigers - and a pregnant tigress! |

Spiritual Cleansing Varanasi Varanasi, the most holy city for Hindus, was where Shiva exploded as a fiery burst of light in the sky. One can reflect on the cycle of life on the fabled four-mile stretch of ghats on the Ganges; float down the river at dawn in a flower and candle bedecked boat to participate in a private puja; watch pehalwans, the Hindi word for wrestler, practice at a traditional wrestling gym; and stay at the opulent new Taj Nadesar Palace, a boutique heritage property built by the East India Company in the 18th century. Be ready for an intensely powerful experience of a lifetime... |
