Discover India

India is an intoxicating hit on the senses. As one of the most diverse countries on earth – geographically, culturally, and ethnically – it truly has it all. From the laidback beaches of Goa to the snow-capped mountains of the Himalayas, the arid Thar Desert to the lush Ganges Delta (the world's largest delta and home to the endangered Bengal Tiger), India captivates over and over again. India's cuisine mirrors its diversity: fiery curries in the south, rich and creamy dishes in the north, and everything in between. Add to that a calendar brimming with festivals – Diwali, Holi, Eid, and more – and every visit feels like a celebration.

The Diverse Cuisine

Delicious and diverse, Indian cuisine is a flavour sensation. The country's food is perhaps its biggest export, recognised globally, but it's just so much more than tandoori and tikka. Between the super spicy curries of the South, the creamy, nutty dishes of the North, the abundance of seafood in the East, and the coconutty, vegetarian dishes of the West, the choices are endless. Join local cooking classes to learn more about regional food, and how it's shaped by culture, climate, and tradition.

The Birthplace of Yoga
