India is far more than a destination. It’s a delightful encounter, one that’s overflowing with dazzling color, wafting aromas, zesty flavors, and exhilarating rhythms. Join a Hermes Tours small group in this thrilling part of the world, and we’ll reveal cities that pulsate with a heady mix of ancient tradition and modern ambition. We’ll venture into the countryside to explore a famed monument to love … a temple of 1,000 columns … a tiny village of age-old environmentalists … and gleaming, hilltop fortresses that recall the days when maharajahs ruled. It’s incredible India!
