Explore itineraryA Passion for India
India is governed by the heart. More than any other destination in the world, India reaches out and touches you. The romantic palaces of Rajasthan, the serene peace in places such as the Thar Desert, the awe-inspiring Himalayan Mountains and a host of “hidden gems” wait to be discovered. Most of us dream of visiting India at least once and India guarantees to surprise you. Even experienced travellers to India are constantly wrong-footed and delighted by the things India reveals.
Your wish-list may include tigers, sailing down the Ganges or exploring the Kerala backwaters, beach time, a trek amongst the world's highest peaks, exploring the amazing variety of temples and getting to grips with the bewildering subtleties of Indian society.
India is a land where men sing when they’re happy; women turn into dancers when they go to the corner shop; food in your stomach is music; and music is the food of the heart.
Everyone at VentureCo has experience of India and we know that an encounter with India will touch your heart.
Trips and Tours
Getting around India by train…
Without a shadow of a doubt, the best way to see India is not on a plane at 37,000 feet above the ground but at ground level on the incredible Indian railway system. In fact, no visit to India is complete without experiencing the bustle of a railway station in India.

The Seasons of India
India’s seasons are dominated by the Monsoon which is a wind system that reverses direction half way through the year: between June and October it blows from the southwest bringing rain-laden clouds in from the Indian Ocean. The rain begins in the deep south in May, gradually moving north and cease by October to be replaced by lighter, dry winds from the north.
