India is a multi-faceted country and it is well worth extending your holiday to take in some of its iconic sights. There are many extension options, from the magnificent Taj Mahal to Udaipur's Lake Palace and other colourful highlights of Rajasthan. A visit to Srinagar in beautiful Kashmir is another amazing extension opportunity. We also offer beach hotel packages in Kovalam and in Goa. Another option is to visit the exotic neighbouring countries of Bhutan or Sri Lanka for a completely different cultural experience. Since extensions may affect your international flight schedule you should consider booking these at the same time as your main holiday. We can assist with any arrangements such as extra hotel nights, transfers or flights that you may require. All extensions can be reserved during the online booking process.

Famous for its beaches, its World Heritage architecture, its biodiversity and for its welcoming climate, Goa is a popular tourist destination. Visited by the Beatles in the late 1960's, Calangute is one of the best places to experience the magic of Goa. This coast is still very chilled-out, with endless beaches, palm-fringed bays and little development. Small bars and restaurants are scattered along the coastline and fishing boats are pulled up onto the beach every day. If you are looking for relaxation, this beach location has a lot to offer.
