How about a trip to India West Coast

Maharashtra and Gujarat make up the entire western region of India. The former is a large and exceptionally populated state with more people here than the UK and France combined. It’s best known for being the home to Mumbai, one of the world’s busiest and most chaotic cities, but one that somehow, despite this, still functions and thrives to be the heart of India’s economy.
The service sector here is huge business, with Pune being the hub for a large number of overseas company call-centres and financial hubs. Mumbai of course has everything you could ever want and some things you might not, from some of the best retail therapy in south Asia, some wonderfully old and historic buildings and monuments and some high-end luxury hotels, outlets, golf courses, and more, to some of the worlds largest slums and poorest communities… often only a samosa-throw from huge levels of wealth!
The coastline has some wonderful beaches to the south in particular, while inland there is some wonderful hill-walking and trekking, large national parks and protected reserves, and even large cave systems to explore.
So if you’re prepared for a little hustle and bustle, and want a large variety of ways to say you’ve experienced India, Maharashtra is a fantastic place to visit!
While Gujarat might be the most industrialised of all the Indian states, and the state that is widely regarded as being the entrepreneurial capital of India, this doesn’t mean it is not a tourist state in the making. Getting to and from Gujarat is relatively straight forward, be it international arrivals by air, or domestic by air or rail, transport here is well catered for.
If you’re after temples, particularly Jain temples, then this is the state for you, with hundreds of them awaiting your approval and amazement, or perhaps you’re a little wilder and fancy seeing Asiatic lions in a National Park, or maybe you just fancy sampling some of the best vegetarian food in the world.. these and many more are reasons to come to Gujarat
