India's West Coast – North to South
Pack your curiosity (and maybe some stretchy pants) — this adventure through India’s west coast and southern heartlands has it all. Kick things off in Mumbai with sunrise views over Colaba and cave explorations that feel like stepping back in time. Wander Goa’s colourful old quarters, catch the golden sunset over Hampi’s legendary ruins, and marvel at temples so detailed they’ll leave you speechless. Round it all out with coastal vibes in Mangalore and a dreamy finale in Kochi’s backwaters. History, flavours, and endless “wow” moments — all in one epic journey.
