Even though it is hard to steer first timers away from the classics in North India, Karishma Kaul, Kensington’s Senior South Asia Expert likes less traditional takes on the Golden Triangle. “There are desert camping experiences in Rajasthan, tiger trekking and elephant back safaris in Central India or travelers can head south to explore wild game reserves in search of leopards, sambars and chinkaras,” states Kaul. Additionally, in February of 2011 a stunning new resort, the Taj Bekal is opening in quiet Kerala and is expected to bring a new level of sophistication to India’s southern beaches.
