Central India

This part of India, stretching from the Nepalese border to the vast city of Mumbai and the Arabian Sea, is rich in history and religion. Beyond Mumbai, you’ll discover some "gems" like Agra with its famous Taj Mahal, Varanasi (Benares) and its ghats, the ancient Mughal city of Fatehpur Sikri, the stunning temples of Khajuraho, and the intricate cave networks of Ajanta and Ellora. However, while the region is home to the largest tiger population across various reserves, its nature and landscapes are less "spectacular" than elsewhere—just a pretty coastline below Mumbai and the Western Ghats mountains, with a few hill stations and opportunities for outdoor activities.
