India, a land bathed in the golden hues of history and pulsating with the vibrant rhythms of contemporary life, beckons travellers with a kaleidoscope of experiences.

The Enchanting Backwaters of Kerala:
Glide through the tranquil backwaters of Kerala, a labyrinthine network of emerald waterways snaking through lush paddy fields and palm groves. Soak in the serenity as you cruise on a traditional houseboat, the gentle lapping of water against the hull your only soundtrack.
The Sun-Kissed Beaches of Goa:

A golden girl
One of India's most formidable beauties passed away earlier this month. The odd thing is she would absolutely hate this obituary; she hated being written about and avoided publicity for all of her nine decades. Indira Aswani was 93 when she died. But anyone who encountered her, even briefly, was in such awe of her grace and poise, and one could not but remember her forever.

On this trip, Robinson and her husband, restaurateur Nicholas Lander, were hosted by the Taj Hotels and Sonal Holland, India's only Master of Wine.

Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay considers India a benevolent elder sibling as the \"big brotherly attitude\" is happily missing from bilateral ties. He thinks the relationship shared by the two countries has become a model of friendship not just for the region, but for the entire world. \"India's attitude is definitely not of a big brother who is controlling and does not allow the little brother to blossom and grow,\" says Tobgay in an exclusive interview with THE WEEK.
