ndia is famous for its diversity - both in its culture, its people, its sights, its sounds and not to be overlooked - in its cuisine. Home to 23 official languages, over 844 dialects, 8 different religions, numerous ethnic groups and a countless number of different cuisines, India's diversity is like no other.

From palm-fringed beaches along the Arabian Sea to the desolate badlands of the Thar Desert - Badlands, Beasts, Bishnois & Beaches brings this diversity alive!

Travel back in time as we explore the wilds of the Thar Desert, a land of sand dunes and stunning vistas where Rajasthan's warrior caste, the Rajputs, built their opulent palaces, fortresses and majestic desert havelis. Leaving the desert behind, we'll journey to the jungles of Gir - the last remaining habitat of the Asiatic lion, the striking Jain hilltop temples of Palitana and the charming Old Portuguese colonial seaside outpost of Diu, among others.

From the remote villages of Rajasthan and the wild hinterlands of the jungles of Gir, to the bustling metropolises of Delhi and Ahmedabad and the sun-soaked beaches of Diu, this all-encompassing adventure will leave you with lifelong impressions and memories of an ancient land and its cultural diversity!
