MAHARASTRA

Maharastra is a unique region, combining a megalopolis, very old history and a lush nature bordered by miles of coastline.

Bombay first, the gateway to India of the British Empire. Gigantic crowded city, long peninsula surrounded by the sea, Mumbai is a stark contrast with the rest of the country. The atmosphere of its colonial past blends with an extravagant modernity into an incredible human melting pot with age old traditions. Bombay will probably be your gateway to your stay in the south of the country.

Then Ajanta & Ellora, incredible millenary temples carved into the rock, near Aurangabad, a major site of ancient India.

And the sea, on hundreds of kilometers of coastline dotted with Resorts and hotels where it is good to relax!

We organize in-depth explorations in the bowels of the city: its markets of fish and fruits & vegetables, newspaper preparation, the distribution of lunches (the famous Lunch Box) and of course the Bollywood movie studio!

A must visit when staying in Bombay, Elephanta island, half an hour from the Gate of India by ferry, which houses great carved caves, dating from the 5th century, dedicated to Shiva and Brahma.

One hour away by plane, reach Aurangabad to visit the archaeological sites of Ajanta and Ellora, and their incredible temples carved in the rock! One of the most impressive archaeological sites in India!
