INDIA

India is quite simply one of the most diverse nations on the planet; a wealth of monuments, world heritage sights, countless languages, religions and ethnic groups, a plethora of local textiles, handicrafts and cuisines, to a gamut of birds and wildlife. Add to this a unique topography ranging from the mountains of the Himalayas to the plains of the Deccan, the beaches of Goa, the deserts of Rajasthan and Gujarat; the waterways of Kerala to the tropical forests of Madhya Pradesh and the desert islands of the Andaman and Lakshadweep. One of the oldest civilizations on earth dating back to 5000 BC gives her a historical wealth which is immense. She is a land where, in places, time has stood still for centuries and in others it has been catapulted into the 21st century. Yet there is one thing common throughout the land, and that is the genuine warmth and hospitality of her people.  Once captivated by India, you will be tempted to return time and again, and it has the diversity to keep you enthralled for countless trips.

In a population of 1.4 billion, it’s hard to think about sustainability, but it is vital for the survival of culture, heritage, forests, jungles wildlife and more. We’ve searched hard, been very selective and come up with a wonderful collection of sustainable stays. They may not all be perfect, but their intentions are good and they are all working in the right direction, and that is all we can ask for.
