Winter sun with a purpose
For European guests, India’s dry season — October to March — coincides with the darkest months at home. Kerala’s Ayurveda centres, Goa’s beach retreats and the ashrams of Rishikesh are all at their best.
There are direct flights from London and several European capitals to Delhi and Mumbai, with onward connections to Kochi, Goa and Dehradun, and many routes via the Gulf.
