    About India

    • Close Panel 

    A holiday in India is a truly amazing experience. India is a vast country with a unique cultural heritage and a great deal of variety. The architecture is exquisite whether you are looking at great Moghul masterpieces like the Taj Mahal, lavishly carved and decorated temples, or colonial and modern buildings in the cities. The scenery is stunning from the mountain peaks of the Himalayas through the deserts of Rajasthan, the spice gardens and tea plantation of the Western Ghats, to the backwaters, palm groves and beaches of the south. There is also some very good wildlife viewing in top class national parks, so an India holiday gives you the chance to see tigers and other big cats, rhinos, antelopes, monkeys and a brilliant array of birds.

    But above anything else India holidays are renowned for stimulating the senses through colour and vibrancy, the smells and tastes of wonderful food and the relentless bustle of a myriad of people.  Have a look at the different regions and suggested itineraries to help plan perfect India holidays.

    Pricing guidelines for India

    • Open Panel 

    We hope the following will give you a rough idea of costs. These are quoted per person based on twin share for two people, without international flights but including internal flights. We’ve used good standard accommodation throughout. There are nearly always ways to spend more money than we’ve suggested (!), but these prices show a good and realistic range for each type of trip.

    International flights will add from about £450 to £700 depending on the season and route (unless the airlines have special offers). India combines well with Nepal.

    For a specific personal quote based on any tailor made itinerary you have in mind, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help you.
