The Golden Triangle plus Rajasthan remains the definitive first India trip from England: Delhi, the Taj Mahal at Agra, and then the forts and palaces of Jaipur, Jodhpur and Udaipur, with heritage havelis and former royal residences to stay in along the way. Travellers curious about the colonial-era story can go further - the Victoria Memorial and the old quarter of Kolkata, the ridge at Shimla, once the summer capital of British India, or the UNESCO-listed Darjeeling Himalayan Railway. An overnight flight from Heathrow lands in Delhi in the morning, and with barely a five-hour clock change most guests are sightseeing the same day.

Then there is the food pilgrimage. Britain's curry-house canon traces back to real places you can eat your way through: butter chicken and dal makhani were popularised in Old Delhi's restaurants, vindaloo began life in Goa, and Amritsar's kulcha bears little resemblance to anything on a UK high street - in the best way. Tea drinkers can go to the source in Darjeeling or Assam and sleep on a working estate. Cricket completes the picture; catching a match at a packed Indian ground, or even watching one on a village maidan, shows you the sport's beating heart. With nine hours of flying and half a day's clock change at most, England-to-India is one of the easiest truly long-haul trips there is - which is why so many guests come back for a second and third round.
