India to Sri Lanka: Spice Gardens & Goa's Beaches

This escorted tour begins in India’s capital, Delhi, where the capital’s intricate markets and historical sites hint at the layers beneath the surface. After exploring Rajasthan’s palaces, you’ll pass through Hampi’s ancient ruins and spend free time in places like Goa, where the beaches are laid-back but far from deserted.

Kerala provides a change of pace with a ferry cruise on the backwaters, visits to spice gardens, and a night in a local homestay that brings village life into sharper focus. Crossing into Sri Lanka, the itinerary touches on the misty hills around Ella and the colonial-era Galle Fort, while evenings at beach bars in Hikkaduwa offer a chance to unwind with the group.

Throughout, local guides introduce temple visits, markets, and cultural performances that add texture without overdoing it. Typical travel hiccups come with long days and varied transport modes, but the G Adventures CEO will be on hand to smooth the way and offer background where needed.
