The lesser known West India has everything – from the bright lights of Mumbai, the stunning desert landscape of Thar, golden beaches on the Arabian Sea, birthplace of Mahatma Gandhi, unique wildlife, tribal villages and UNESCO listed caves of Ajanta & Ellora.
The Gateway of West India is Mumbai – a cosmopolitan city with a rich heritage, colonial architecture of the past, amazing marketplaces and high rises. The city is also home to Bollywood which is an important part of Mumbai’s culture.
Beyond Mumbai, the state of Maharashtra has many less known wildlife parks such as Tadoba where Royal Bengal Tigers roam free.
Goa is yet another jewel of the west and has been popular as a laid-back beach destination for years. The former Portuguese colony has many luxury hotels, boutique villas, sandy beaches, signature cuisine and trendy cafes. For somebody looking beyond sun and sand, Old Goa has some beautiful churches, flea markets and small villages to explore.
The place of discovery in this region is Gujarat which lies well off the trodden path. This western most state of India is a desert land of indigenous tribes & cultures, ancient sites, historic cities, impressive temples, exquisite textiles and extraordinary wildlife including the endangered Asiatic lion.
