Nine ways to discover India

Our tour packages cover the whole country, from the Himalayas to the Indian Ocean. The Classic Golden Triangle is the ideal first trip: Delhi, Agra and Jaipur in seven days with sunrise at the Taj Mahal. Royal Rajasthan goes deeper, with two weeks of forts, heritage palace hotels and a night in a desert camp.

In the south, Kerala's backwaters and spice hills combine tea plantations, a wildlife sanctuary and a night on a private houseboat, while Temples & Traditions of South India explores the Dravidian architecture of Tamil Nadu. Beach lovers choose Goa; adventurers head to Ladakh and its 5,000-metre passes.

Short on time? The 5-day Varanasi break and the 4-day Ranthambore safari slot neatly into any itinerary. Every package includes hand-picked hotels, private transport, local guides, entrance fees and breakfast, with prices from $680 per person. Use the trip-cost calculator on our offer page to see what your group would pay.
