Three weeks, three regions: the complete India experience
For the ultimate traveller, this 21-day epic journey covers the breadth of India's diversity. It combines the highlights of several tours into one seamless adventure. Start with the Golden Triangle (Delhi, Agra, Jaipur), fly to Varanasi for a spiritual immersion, and then head south to experience the backwaters and spice hills of Kerala.
This comprehensive tour showcases the dramatic contrasts of India, from Mughal palaces and sacred rivers to tropical coastlines and serene waterways. Everything is arranged: 4- and 5-star hotels, all transfers in private air-conditioned vehicles, two internal flights, English-speaking guides, every monument fee and most meals. Special experiences include a cooking class in Jaipur, a houseboat stay in Kerala, sunrise at the Taj Mahal and the Ganga Aarti in Varanasi. With three built-in rest days and a maximum of one hotel change every two days on average, the pace stays comfortable despite the distance covered. This is the itinerary we recommend when you have the time to see India properly, once.
