India

When you think of a natural wonderland, India may not be the first country that comes to mind. But here, adventurers who brave treks off the beaten path will find India’s hidden natural world. Discover the wonders of the animal kingdom, where the last of the rare Asiatic lions call home and the hillock gibbons and elephants roam freely along the Anamalai Hills.

But it’s not just nature that calls to the hearts of adventure lovers, it’s the scenery! From jagged mountain peaks to low valley rivers, to lush tea plantation fields, India transports visitors to a verdant paradise far from the crowds and reconnects travellers to the natural world.
