Adventure can be anything outside of the day-to-day. It doesn't have to mean white-water or bungy, but can be about the destination, the activity, the company you're in, the wildlife you see, the cultures you visit. Relaxed or full-on is your choice.

An adventure holiday in India conjures up memorable and colourful images including the Taj Mahal, the holy River Ganges, tigers, turbans, saris, great food and rickshaws.
