Sailing Trips in India
When it comes to classic boating holidays in India, the southern state of Kerala is inevitably the destination that springs to mind. Its famous labyrinth of backwaters provides the perfect setting for relaxing overnight houseboat cruises. The backwaters are a popular destination for a wide range of adventurous tours in India. Sailing along banks lined with palm trees, you can switch off and feel at one with nature. Boating excursions are complemented by visits to traditional villages, spice plantations and tea estates. You can also enjoy the cultural scene of towns like Kochi, famous for its art galleries, fish restaurants and Kathakali dance shows.
Further north, Goa’s backwaters invite you to cruise through landscapes of mangroves and abundant greenery with rich aromas of spice gardens filling the air. There are also crocodiles and abundant birdlife to be spotted. Along the coast, boat trips can take you on fishing and dolphin watching voyages under the Goan sun.
Cultural Boat Tours in India
Udaipur in Rajasthan is sometimes called the Venice of the East for its network of picturesque lakes. Boat rides on Lake Pichola provide a unique view of Udaipur’s lakeside palaces and temples. In Varanasi, meanwhile, you can join a boat tour on the Ganges to watch local Hindus offer prayers, flowers and candles on the ghats of the river which is believed to be a crossing point between the material and spiritual worlds. See all our cultural tours in India if exploring the rich and diverse cultural life of this fascinating country is your main objective.
Other sailing holidays in India might take you to Chilika Lake, India’s largest coastal lagoon, home to myriad migratory birds as well as Irrawaddy dolphins. Or, if you are not averse to getting a little wet, you might find yourself rafting through the whitewaters of rivers like the Teesta in Sikkim, which flows down from the Eastern Himalayas.
We have a fine collection of cruise holidays around the world to offer, from European river cruises exploring the cities and landscapes of major waterways such as the Rhine and the Danube, to history tours in Egypt showcasing the numerous ancient treasures scattered along the Nile.
