OVERVIEW

Hotels

West India comprises the states of Goa, Gujarat, and Maharashtra (along with a few smaller Union Territories like Daman and Diu, Dadra and Nagar Haveli).

This part of India is flanked by the magnificent Thar Desert, the vast Arabian Sea to the West and the Deccan Plateau to the south.

The region is nestled amid these three ferocious forces of mother nature—desert, ocean, and dry plateau—an oasis for some 180 million people.

One of the world’s greatest metropolises, Mumbai, the “City of Dreams” and the commercial heart of India is also located in this part of the country.

The landscape in West India varies quickly. The stunningly beautiful beaches of Goa are a picture-perfect tropical paradise. The White Desert of Thar is a daunting limitless wilderness. Gandhi’s Gujarat, which played a pivotal role in the country’s independence from British rule, is a state of marvelous national parks and ancient temples and was once a part of the Indus Valley Civilization.

We offer flexible tour packages to West India with itineraries tailor-made for you.

Our expert travel advisors and guides offer 24/7 guidance and support to ensure that your travel experience remains comfortable and hassle-free.
