West India Travel

Western India stretches from the sand dunes of Rajasthan to the plains of Madhya Pradesh all the way to the coastline of Goa and the busy city of Mumbai. The Western coast comprising Maharashtra and Goa are home to sandy beaches, verdant green hills and rows upon rows of coconut palms. The Konkan region is famous for the delicious Alphonso mangoes as well as cashews and coconuts.


West India Tour

The state of Goa is a much sought-after international tourist destination. Its rich Portuguese heritage, old churches and the Basilica of Bom Jesus are part of the old-world charm. The beaches of Calangute, Miramar and Anjuna are few of the many that Goa offers. Spicy Pork Vindaloo can be washed down with cashew feni.



Mumbai, the country's financial capital is an amalgamation of the various cultures of India. Love it or leave it, but you just can't ignore it. From Dalal Street which houses the Bombay Stock Exchange to Marine Drive and Hanging Gardens, the old-world charm still exists despite the thronging multitudes of people jostling for space in this megapolis. Maharashtra is home to the Ajanta and Ellora Caves, which date back to early times.

Gujarat is famous for the Sabarmati, textile industry and much more. From the dense Gir Forest to the Rann of Kutch, the landscape is varied. Ahmedabad, Baroda and Rajkot are a dream for textile shoppers - from synthetics to traditional cotton weaves, you can find them here! Sample the sweets and namkeens that the Gujarathis are so famous for.


Rajasthan is a poem in color - in sheer contrast to the pale desert landscape. Rich tapestry of color can be seen in the royal palaces, ghagras and turbans of the locals and the local handicrafts. From the regal abodes of the erstwhile rulers in Jaipur and Jodhpur to the gardens in Udaipur and the charm of Ajmer, a holiday in Rajasthan promises to be an experience in itself. Stay in a sand dune or take a desert safari ride. Pick up some of the local textiles, made in rich and earthy colors. The fair at Pushkar near Ajmer is famous. Partake of a traditional Rajasthani meal, dal bhatti, churma laddu and ker sangri.
