Central & West India
Tiger Safaris, Goa Beaches, and Maximum City Mumbai
Western and Central India offer a range of travel moments: tiger safaris to desert landscapes, easygoing Goa beaches to Mumbai’s mayhem. And while you are in the region, explore its rock-cut architecture, palaces, and spiritual side too.
Beyond its colonial and art deco architecture, vibrant Mumbai, with its hectic markets and endless jostling can be overwhelming. We understand that. Which is why Enchanting Travels’ private India tours take you through this megacity at an easy pace. And for relaxation after, spread your wings east or south. Barely an hour’s flight southward is India’s most laid-back corner, Goa, where warm waters, coconut groves, and delightful seafood are par for the course. Choose an alternative calm by travelling east to the national parks of Central India, famous for tiger safaris and luxury tented camps. But beyond that apex predator, the dense forests and sprawling grasslands brim with colorful birds, insects, and a multitude of other animals.
This region is also a history – and architecture-lover’s dream destination, starring erotic temples in Khajuraho, and a host of grand medieval forts and palaces. On a private India tour, spiritual seekers can also include time to explore temples and Hindu pilgrimage sites along the sacred Narmada River.
