Among the beautiful, forested landscapes of Kanchanaburi runs the River Kwai, a river with strong links to World War II history. Here you can explore that history, visiting the Hellfire Pass, the Allied War Cemetery and the notorious bridge, that carries the so-called Death Railway across the river.
In Delhi's bustling Connaught Market you’ll find a whole feast for the senses in the form of a huge variety of delicious street food. With your guide on hand to guide you through the different options, sample a selection of the most popular snacks, including fritters, samosas, gol-guppas and local tea.
