Parcs nationaux, cascades, falaises karstiques et fonds marins.

Choisir de voyager pour la nature et les paysages en Inde, c'est accepter qu'un seul pays contienne plusieurs mondes géographiques. Du Ladakh perché à 3500 mètres aux backwaters tièdes du Kerala, vous traversez des écosystèmes que rien ne relie sinon la route. Nos équipes sur place construisent les itinéraires en fonction de cette réalité : on ne visite pas l'Inde, on en choisit un fragment, puis un autre.

Le sous-continent étire ses reliefs sur près de 3200 kilomètres du nord au sud. Cette amplitude explique pourquoi les saisons varient autant d'une région à l'autre. L'hiver, vous marchez sous le soleil sec du désert du Thar autour de Jaisalmer pendant qu'il neige sur les cols himalayens. La mousson de juin à septembre transforme les Ghâts occidentaux et les plantations de thé de Munnar en cascades vertes, alors que le Rajasthan reste praticable.

Quelques terrains que nos guides francophones aiment particulièrement faire découvrir :

  • Les backwaters du Kerala en houseboat, entre Alleppey et Kollam
  • Les dunes et villages fortifiés autour de Jaisalmer, à dos de chameau
  • Les forêts de Ranthambore et Bandhavgarh pour observer le tigre du Bengale
  • Les vallées du Spiti et du Ladakh, monastères bouddhistes à 4000 m
  • Les rizières en terrasses et collines de thé des Nilgiris au Tamil Nadu

Chaque paysage indien porte une culture, une cuisine, une langue. C'est ce que nos articles cherchent à transmettre : non pas une carte postale, mais ce qu'on ressent en descendant du véhicule, là où le bitume cède au chemin de terre.
