England in India
ODI/T20 Tour
13 Jan – 03 Feb 2017
Enjoy the very best sights of India, interspersed with exhilarating ‘white ball’ cricket from two of the best teams in the world. We will attend four of the six scheduled matches, giving Cuttack and Kanpur a wide berth as there are no decent hotels in the vicinity of each place. The upside is that we can do things in a more leisurely way and create a really exciting itinerary including the Golden Triangle (Delhi, Jaipur and the Taj Mahal in Agra) and Tadoba National Park to spot tigers (amongst many other animals) in their natural habitat.
