India Tours & Vacations

There’s probably no other country on the planet that blazes its way into your memory like India.

Years later, you can still hear the morning calls of the chai wallahs; see smoke curling over the Ganges during a golden Varanasi sunrise , and smell the rich aromas of simmering curry. A lot of India tours rush from highlight to highlight, ticking them off in a blur of temples and tikka. But not us. Our India holidays are more about spotting Bengal tigers in Ranthambhore or Panna National Park, hanging with nomads in Jaisalmer, meeting the holy men of Pushkar, or hunting down the best street eats. This isn’t just the India you see on postcards. This is India as it is. Raw, bizarre and totally addictive.

Best time to visit india.

Due to India's size and topography, the climate varies from place to place but the best time to visit, generally speaking, is in the winter from December until early March. During the coolest months (December-January), temperatures can get quite cold in Delhi and in the north, especially at night. The whole country tends to get very hot from April onwards and most regions experience the summer from late May to around October. The summer offers hot and humid conditions, although this is considered one of the best times to visit Ladakh and the hills.

Culture and customs

India is one of the world’s oldest civilizations with a culture steeped in ancient beliefs and traditions. Religion also plays a massive role in everyday life with 80% of the population practicing Hinduism while the remaining 20% is divided into Muslim (India has the world’s second-largest Muslim population), Christian, Sikhism and Buddhist populations.

At its core, India remains a deeply conservative nation; however, it has been touched by rapid modernization and Western influences in recent years. Some families still adhere to a traditional structure (especially in more rural areas) with generations living under the same roof, the eldest male at the head of the family and arranged marriages. But this is becoming less and less popular, particularly in larger cities, where Western ideas and societal shifts heavily influence the culture due to things like Bollywood films.

While some behavioral standards remain the same (public displays of affection are still taboo), it’s important to keep in mind that with more than one billion people speaking over 122 languages across 28 states and seven territories, it’s impossible to describe one unified culture for the entire nations and the character of India’s people can vary greatly from city to city.

Top places to visit in India

Surely there isn't a more iconic image of India than the Taj Mahal. It's spectacular and soul-stirring, but words simply aren't enough to describe the beauty of this immense mausoleum (even when it's packed with tourists).

Food and drink

Geography and environment

India shares land borders with   Bangladesh ,   China , Pakistan,   Nepal ,   Myanmar   and   Bhutan , and also has wide stretches of coastline along the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal and Indian Ocean. As the seventh largest country in the world, India is home to a variety of terrains - the Himalayas of the north, the deserts and plains of the west, the fertile waterways of the south and the hills and forests of the east. Development is occurring at a rapid pace, with India's large, sprawling cities consisting of everything from five star hotels to shanty towns, and with modern malls and cinemas sitting comfortably alongside bazaars and street food vendors. A trip through India will reveal a diverse range of landscapes, villages, cities and environments.

History and government

Early history.

Humans have inhabited India for as long as 75,000 years, with early civilizations flourishing as early as 3300 BC. Over the centuries, India both influenced and was influenced by other nations and kingdoms, with far-reaching trade, conquest and migration spreading the subcontinent's culture far and wide. Empires rose and fell over the centuries, with the wealthy Mughal Dynasty ruling most of India by 1600. At the same time, different European nations started showing an interest in India after being brought to the area for trade. The Portuguese, Dutch, British and French all had vested interests in India, with the British East India Company being given the rights to trade in India in 1617. The 1857 rebellion and War of Independence culminated in the decline of Mughal rule and were considered the first movements against the British Raj's heavy-handed rule of the country.

Recent history

By the 1920s, India's independence movement had grown considerably with Mohandas Gandhi leading mass movements based on passive resistance and non-cooperation against the British Raj. Although it took decades, India finally gained independence in 1947. More recently, India has seen dramatic societal changes mainly due to modernization and globalization. A new wave of prosperity has seen the rise of the middle class, with men and women entering into new work roles in telecommunications, manufacturing and business. India's large cities are dealing with the mass migration of rural citizens, who are moving to the city to seek better employment, education and opportunities for their children.

Top 10 sensory experiences of India

1. potent pleasures.

Breathe in the intoxicating aroma of fresh spices while wandering through the bustling markets of India. Cardamom, coriander, cinnamon and nutmeg are classic spices of the subcontinent and aren't hard to find - the fresh scent envelopes markets across the country.

2. Fiery flavours

Treat your tastebuds to the spicy flavors of India with a traditional aromatic curry. Indulge in the heady mix of coconut milk, chili, ginger, ghee and spices, then cool down by sipping on a refreshing Lassi - the perfect antidote to the unrelenting heat of an Indian curry.

3. Colourful chaos

Experience the urban cacophony of Delhi - a unique collision of cultures, cattle and people. Hear the rumble of cars, trucks and buses, the frantic calls of street vendors and hawkers, the sizzle of food and the rustic ring of a cow's bell in this unforgettable and irrepressible city.

4. In the pink

Admire the dazzling pink hues of Jaipur. Watch the historic palaces, forts, temples and monuments of the 'Pink City' be bathed in a dusky pink glow as the golden sun sets over the dramatic Aravalli Range.

5. Rat race

Walk barefoot through the Karni Mata Temple as thousands of rats scamper across the marble floor. Just felt a furry rodent scurry over your feet? Fear not - it's a sign of good luck in this unique rat-worshipping temple.

6. Instant karma

Experience the multi-sensory wonder of an Aarti ceremony on the banks of the Ganges. Hear the clanging of bells, watch the luminous glow of fire, smell wafts of pungent incense and hear rousing devotional songs and mantras. Be immersed in the fire and prayer of this Hindu ritual and be changed forever.

7. Gorgeous Goa

Sit beachside in Goa and gaze into the sublime beauty of the ocean. Take a moment to kick back and soak up the clear skies and deep blue sea of this exotic island. Watch the sun's rays shimmer on the horizon and bask in the golden glow of this balmy retreat.

8. Silky sophistication

For a slice of extravagance, feel the soft, luxurious touch of traditional Indian silk. Made in a variety of vibrant colors and perfect for making everything from saris to prayer mats and decorative hangings to upholstery, the inimitable feel of finely crafted silk is a simple pleasure in life.

9. Answered prayers

Hear the flutter of prayer flags as they flap in the wind near the isolated monasteries of Dharamsala. In a stark environment of rugged, mountainous landscapes, quietness permeates the air, except for the unique sound of prayer flags collecting prayers and sending them to the heavens above.

10. Big screen brilliance

Be treated to a feast for the senses at a bombastic Bollywood movie screening. Covet the glamorous costumes, marvel at the energetic choreography and delight in the lively music. Revel in the razzle-dazzle of the whole spectacle and be swept away by the irresistible charm of India's triumphant cinematic phenomenon.

India's fragrant bazaars, modern boutiques and village markets are brimming with wares harnessing centuries of artistic traditions. With talented artisans and top quality items at low prices, India is a shopper's paradise. It's a good idea to check with your local customs officials to ensure that you are able to bring certain items back into your home country. Australia and New Zealand generally have strict quarantine laws.

Things to buy in India

From big, chunky ornate silver earrings to vibrant bangles and bold statement rings, India's silversmiths and jewelry makers ensure there are lots of pieces to choose from in the bazaars and shops.

2. Wraps, scarves and shawls

Whether you're looking for pricey pashmina, luxurious silk or colorful cotton, India has a huge variety of materials to wrap yourself in.

If you're lucky enough to be able to bring tea into your home country, then pick up some of the world's finest tea from the Darjeeling, Assam or Nilgiri regions.

Indian cotton sheets, embroidered bedspreads and colorful cushion covers can be picked up in bazaars at a fraction of the price paid elsewhere.

Many shops are open between 9 am and 7 pm, Monday through Saturday, though hours can vary at bazaars. Most shops are closed on Sunday.

Festivals and events

Many of India’s biggest festivals are religious and follow either the Indian lunar calendar or the Islamic calendar. The dates may change each year, but the fervor of celebration never does. Some of the best and biggest festivals to keep an eye out for in India are:

Holi (Festival of Colour)

Take a whole lot of colored powder and water, add thousands of happy people not afraid to get a little (or a lot) dirty and you have Holi – a technicolor Hindu celebration that marks the beginning of spring and the triumph of good over evil. Celebrations take place across India in either February or March.

Diwali (Festival of Lights)

India’s biggest festival – meaning ‘rows of lighted lamps’, people decorate their homes with colorful lights, candles are lit and firework displays take place across the country. The celebrations are particularly spectacular in Varanasi, where illuminated candles and earthen lamps are floated down the Ganges River as fireworks light up the sky. This five-day festival takes place every October or November.

Gujarat Kite Festival

Large, colorful and unusual kites flood the skies of Gujarat each January to commemorate the start of summer and the beginning of harvest. Purchase your own at Patang Bazaar, a famous kite market, or just watch the others dance through the sky.

Mumbai Ganesh Festival

The birth of the elephant-headed god, Ganesh, is celebrated for 10-days each August or September in cities across India, but Mumbai takes it to another level. An incredible energy can be felt throughout the city as people pack the streets for a massive party and an elaborate statue of Ganesh is paraded around.

Pushkar Camel Fair

Thousands of camels (and their owners dressed in their finest garb) descend upon Rajasthan's Pushkar for the annual camel fair. Camels are traded and raced, acrobats and performers entertain crowds at a nearby fair, while finely dressed males and bejeweled females take the chance to let their hair down.

While traveling through India, on a tour or otherwise, it’s expected one would tip porters, drivers, restaurant staff and other service workers given the low wages they earn.

What is the internet access like in India?

Internet access is generally very good in India, with most cafes, restaurants and accommodations offering free wi-fi, even in the more rural areas. There is also good phone coverage for data use if you choose to purchase a local SIM card to stay connected for the duration of your India tour.

If you do wish to purchase a local SIM in India, make sure your phone has been unlocked before your tour begins. There are quite a number of carriers that are all very competitive, but Airtel is probably the best option for travelers. You’ll need to a copy of your passport and visa to pick up a SIM, and the process can sometimes be a hassle, but rates in India are very affordable given the competition.

Yes, you’ll be able to use your cell phone while on an India tour, but only if you have activated global roaming or purchased a local SIM card.

What are the toilets like in India?

Squat toilets are the most common toilets in India. Always carry your own toilet paper and soap or hand sanitizer, as they are usually not provided. Flushable, Western-style toilets can be found in up-market restaurants, some higher-end hotels and in some tourist areas.

• Meal in a tourist restaurant = INR 350-600

Can I drink the tap water in India?

India is notorious among travelers for sickness – we’ve all heard horror stories about Delhi belly. We do not recommend ever drinking tap water in India, and travelers should avoid drinks with ice and foods that haven’t been cooked or peeled. Salad is off the menu for now ­– let your inner child rejoice!

Are credit cards widely accepted in India?

Credit cards are being accepted in an increasing number of cafes, shops, restaurants and hotels in India, with Mastercard and Visa being the most common. That said, cash is still king, especially outside of cities like Kolkata, Delhi and Mumbai.

What is ATM access like in India?

ATMs are widespread across India in both cities and smaller towns. Visa, Mastercard, Cirrus and Maestro are the most commonly accepted cards, but of those Visa and Mastercard are more likely to have success. The daily withdrawal limit differs from bank to bank.

Is India safe for LGBTQIA+ travelers?

The majority of Indian society is still conservative, and while most travelers will have a welcoming and hospitable experience, discretion is still advised for LGBTQIA+ travelers, particularly in more remote towns and villages which may be more conservative. The same advice is also given to heterosexual couples (and couples of all other sexual orientations) as public displays of affection other than hugging and holding hands are generally frowned upon.

For more detailed and up-to-date advice, we recommend visiting  Equaldex  or  ILGA  before you travel.

Is India accessible for travelers with disabilities?

Intrepid is committed to making travel widely accessible, regardless of ability or disability. That’s why we do our best to help as many people see the world as possible, regardless of any physical or mental limitations they might have. We’re always happy to talk to travelers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them towards the most suitable itinerary for their needs and, where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.

As a general rule, knowing some common words in the local language, carrying a written itinerary with you and taking to the streets in a group, rather than solo, can help make your travel experience the best it can be.

What to wear in India

What you decide to pack and wear in India will depend on where you are and what time of year it is. The weather across India usually follows the monsoon cycle, so it’s quite easy to plan what to pack when it comes to rain, but temperatures will vary quite a bit from the north to the south.

How will I be traveling around India?

Intrepid believes half the fun of experiencing a new country is getting there, and getting around once there! Where possible, Intrepid uses local transport options and traditional modes of transport - which usually carry less of an environmental impact, support small local operators and are heaps more fun.

Depending on which trip you're on while in India, you may find yourself traveling by Jeep.

Safari through jungles and national parks aboard a jeep, which is ideal for conquering the difficult terrain and offers supreme wildlife viewing opportunities.

Cruising the waterways of India is a revealing, inspiring experience. Whether it’s the iconic Ganges or peaceful Kerala backwaters, seeing India from the water is a must.

Traveling by train is one of the great experiences of India. It's a system which looks like chaos, but it works - and well.

Use the efficient metro to get around the sights and suburbs of Delhi.

Zip around the big cities of India by auto rickshaw.

What kind of accommodation will I be staying in?

Traveling with Intrepid is a little bit different. We endeavor to provide travelers with an authentic experience to remember, so we try to keep accommodation as unique and traditional as possible.

When traveling with us in India you may find yourself staying in a homestay.

Make new friends, feast on authentic home cooking and receive kind hospitality while staying with friendly families in India.

With walks, wildlife spotting and adventure sports nearby, staying in a jungle resort is the perfect way to see another side of India.

From ex-royal palaces to historic hill stations and converted forts, India is full of heritage properties that have been turned into comfortable accommodation with an old-world touch.

What is it like traveling on a small group tour?

Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or you’re about to embark on your first trip, traveling can be as intimidating as it is exciting. That's the beauty of a small group tour. From handling the logistics and organizing amazing cultural activities to local leaders who know each destination like the back of their hand (like which street has the best markets and where to get the most authentic food), traveling on a small group tour with Intrepid will give you unforgettable travel experiences without the hassle that comes with exploring a new place. Plus, you'll have ready-made friends to share the journey with. All you have to do is turn up with a healthy sense of adventure and we’ll take care of the rest.

Does my trip to India support The Intrepid Foundation?

Yes, all Intrepid trips support the Intrepid Foundation. In fact, we make a donation on behalf of every traveler. Trips to India directly support our foundation partner, Positive Change for Marine Life. 

Positive Change for Marine Life

Positive Change for Marine Life nurtures ocean health with community-led conservation initiatives. Donations help them expand and implement vital programs in India that empower local communities, support sustainable fishing practices, restore marine habitats and drive policy change. Intrepid will double the impact by dollar-matching all post-trip donations made to The Intrepid Foundation.

What people love about india tours.

This tour is a great way to see all the main sites in a short time. The guides were very knowledgeable and our driver Rajat was friendly and drove safely! The only thing that would have improved this tour would be information on what to do at night. We felt like the driver dropped us off each day after site seeing and then it was up to us to work out where to eat etc. Aahil was great with recommendations though when we did ask.

We really enjoyed our 5 day trip around the golden triangle tour with Ranthambore. Our driver Praveen was amazing we felt very safe with him he’s was a fabulous driver felt very safe in his hands he was always on time and always contacted us before he arrived. He was always very attentive very polite towards our needs, he deserves a lot of praise. The guides in Agra Jaipur And Delhi for the monuments were excellent. Overall I would recommend the company very much Thank you once again to Sonia and her team aot

I really enjoyed my tour. This is a very remote area with unique culture and nature. I 've been there at the beginning of April before the tourist season starts, so I enjoyed the absence of crowds. However, nights were very cold, some hotels did not have heating, so hot bottles were my best friends. During the day the weather were beautiful, sunny. I enjoyed snow on the passes we crossed. My guide and driver were excellent. People we met at the hotels demonstrated wonderful hospitality. The tour company that organized this travel experience was very good, professional and responded to all my requests. I was feeling so happy during this trip, in peace with nature and the world ?

"My family just got back from our very memorable 5-day Golden Triangle Tour of India. We are very much satisfied with our tour operator, Taj Tour Trips. Mr. Aahil of Taj Tour Trips was very responsive. Being 1st travellers to India, we, of course, had sooo many questions which, Mr. Aahil, patiently answered within the day. He also provided transportation from the aiport to the hotel and vice-versa with no additional charge. Driver and tour guides were all very professional. Driver was always on time in picking us up from the hotel. The Innova van was very clean and spacious for the 4 of us. Tour guides were all very proficient in English, polite and very knowledgeable of the history of the places that we went to. Overall, we highly recommend Taj Tour Trips and the 5-day Golden Triangle Tour to anyone going to India!!!

"I had an absolutely amazing tour of Agra and would book with Sonia and Joyful Holidays again in a heartbeat. Sonia is incredible and cares very deeply about her customers’ experience. She was beyond helpful when I had to make a last minute change to my tour. She put me completely at ease. I am so thankful to have found her and her business. Raju was an incredible driver. I was extremely comfortable the entire time I was with him. And Dilip was an amazing tour guide. He has a clear passion for Agra and was very knowledgeable and funny. I had an amazing time with both Raju and Dilip. I was sad to say goodbye to both of them at the end of my tour.

"I'll show you how to navigate the buzzing cities of India, and go beyond to find soul-stirring temples, beautiful mountains and irresistible food."

Travel Director

Navigate the busy streets of Old Delhi on a rickshaw ride

The nation's capital rings to the sounds of car horns, chai stalls and the chatter of its 29 million inhabitants. Shuffle into an open-air rickshaw and ride through the streets of the Old Delhi, admiring traditional Havelis and stopping for a famous mango or pomegranate frozen kulfi to cool off in the summer.

Gaze at the sun-kissed Taj Mahal in Agra

Take a journey to Agra and be stirred by the ultimate symbol of fairy-tale architecture. Inlaid with precious gemstones, this ivory marble palace was originally commissioned by an emperor as a tomb for his wife, standing as a symbol of love and opulence since 1653.

Spot tigers in Ranthambore National Park

Clamber into the back of an open-top safari car and spot leopards, marsh crocodiles, hyenas and Bengal tigers wandering their natural habitat. Sprawling over almost 300km 2 , the Ranthambore National Park is also home to a 10th-century fort, giant banyan trees and many lakes.

Experience royal Rajasthan

Enthralling cities interrupt the inhospitable desert in Rajasthan, India's largest state. Home to around 30 royal palaces including the floating lake palace of Udaipur and the iconic peach palace of Hawa Mahal, you will be swept up by the regal heritage found in this part of India.

Visit one of the Bollywood studios in Mumbai

Take a journey into the metropolis of Mumbai to uncover the prestigious culture of the Indian film industry. Without knowing a word of Hindi or a single Bollywood film, you will be captivated by this passionate industry. Be guided past the homes of megastars and catch a glimpse behind the scenes as the cameras roll.

Our top 5 things to do in India

Let Trafalgar guide your India vacation through a majestic tapestry of landmarks and experience. From the Taj Mahal to the tiger parks of Rajasthan, these are just some of the soul-stirring moments waiting when you travel with us.

National Museum

India vacation tours get under the skin of the country's culture with a trip to the National Museum of New Delhi. Roam the halls and take in elaborate jewellery, ancient manuscripts and traditional miniature paintings on cloth. From the prehistoric to the modern, this expansive Indian museum is a must-visit.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya

The King Shivaji museum, or CSMVS, is a pride of Mumbai showcasing around 50,000 exhibitions within an impressive Indo-gothic building. After taking in archaeology, art and natural history, spend time in the tranquil, flower-filled gardens that contrast the bustle of Mumbai.

City Palace

Taking almost 400 years to be built, the City Palace of Udaipur is an architectural masterpiece beside Lake Pichola. Enter the museum section of the palace complex via the royal courtyard, allowing plenty of time to immerse in the artefacts of India's distant past.

Best museums in India

Step off the streets and find a moment of quiet in a spellbinding museum. Here are just a few of the places we will visit in India to peel back the many layers of culture.

A thin fried bread mentioned in 12th-century Sanskrit scriptures, paratha is part of India's cultural heritage. Try it stuffed with spinach, fenugreek and the cheese of paneer, or take it on its own for lapping up the leftover gravy from a delectable curry.

Varan Bhaat Diva

Popular along the sunny coastline of Goa, Varan Bhaat Diva is Indian comfort food of peas, beans, rice and many spices. Often given to those who are exhausted or sick, you will feel soothed by the warmth and turmeric in this family favorite.

Chicken cafreal

Inspired by the dishes brought from Portugal during colonial times, the herb coated chicken legs of cafreal will cement your infatuation with Indian cuisine. Shallow fried and often served with potato and wedges of citrus fruit, India tour packages aren't complete until cafreal is served.

Best food in India

Despite the many famous dishes that have journeyed far from the lands of India, this country still has culinary delights that will rouse your tastebuds. From warm bread to fragrant curries, we'll guide you through the secrets of this spicy land.

What to pack for India

Pack for sustainable travel

Consider your environmental impact when you next take a trip and go single-use-plastic-free by packing a reusable water bottle, a steel straw, your own shopping bags and refillable toiletry bottles.

A few good books

The Indian rail network chuffs for 65,000 kilometres around India. A geographically large company with relatively slow transport systems, a few books can keep you entertained between admiring scenery.

Light and modest clothing

Though India does get cooler than most expect, many parts of the year are intensely hot. Pack sheer, light clothing that covers you right to the ankles, wrists and neck so that you can respectfully visit religious sites without sweltering.

Medication for stomach upsets

Though our India group tours will see you largely protected from unsanitary food or water, it is still handy to keep a supply of medication on hand. Charcoal tablets can be taken daily as a preventive measure to ensure any nasties are quickly expelled from your system.

Water purification devices

The purification of water has come a long way in recent years. Make your way to a specialist travel shop to discuss bottles, gadgets and tablets that will ensure you stay hydrated without falling ill.

Wet wipes and hand sanitiser

True to its reputation, India can be a hot and messy place. Pack wet wipes and hand sanitiser to ensure you feel fresh when you're on the go.

Make good use of the search bar at the top. We assure you will not need to go to another website.

India, with its irresistible charm, evokes wanderlust. To experience India is a delight. The country leaves you spoilt for choice by offering a multitude of options to indulge in. Go to scale the heights of the Himalayas or simply bask in the sunshine along the popular beaches in Goa. Sing the praises of the River Goddess along with the priests in saffron-colored attire performing Ganga Aarti in Varanasi.

There is history, modernity, age-old architecture, erotic temples, toy train rides, haunted places, revered pilgrimage sites, and whatnot! From enthralling wildlife to serene backwaters, you will be mesmerized by each and everything you witness here. Visiting India catapults you straight into a nation that is nothing less than a kaleidoscope of experiences and colors.

Discover yourself while getting lost in India: From spirituality to traditions, India is infused with a number of things to explore. Wandering in the streets of the iconic cities unfolds the nation's many faces. The smell of Desi Ghee in 'Paranthe Wali Gali' in Chandni Chowk evokes the foodie in you. Furthermore, the bustling Kinari Bazaar in Agra or Khari Baoli, Asia's largest spice market, fascinates all your senses.

The colonial charm of the boulevards in Pondicherry reminds you of France. The true gist of India is quite prevailing in the cities of Rajasthan. Hang out with the locals, listen to the 'Dadi-Nani ki Kahani', and soak-in different cultures; the options abound. The chaos of the vendors mixing with the sounds of joyful children playing 'Gully Cricket' or 'Gilli Danda' will surely appeal to you. Each city in India flaunts its own color and presents the vibrant nation in a distinctive way.

The Call of the Wild: Owing to a number of wildlife sanctuaries and national parks, India echoes with roars of lions. At the same time, the whimsical chirping of the birds wins many hearts. The joy of finding one-horned rhinoceros in Kaziranga is simply magical. Feel the adrenaline rush when they watch the Royal Bengal tiger, the national animal of India while delighting in a wildlife safari.

Wildlife Experience in India is second to none. The country grabs the interest of many while enticing them to leave behind the city rush and live a few days in the jungle again. The ethereal charm of the Pench National Park will make you relive the childhood your spent while listening to the stories of Mowgli. Delve into the natural beauty and delight in knowing about India's beautiful, exotic, endangered creatures in their natural habitat.

Glimpse of aristocratic opulence: Dominated by matchless grandeur, India welcomes those who want to collect memories, not trips. Be it traveling aboard Indian luxury trains or exploring the magnificent forts and palaces; everything is remarkably different. No wonder India is a country where luxury comes in various shapes and sizes. Here, you will definitely get a little more than ordinary to treat yourself.

Ornate Havelis in Shekhawati, matchless comforts of the heritage hotels, and sumptuous dining amidst enchanting environs will cast a spell on you. Then there are luxury cruises that have redefined the way of traveling. How does spending a night in the floating palace or sailing over the azure waters on your own private yacht sound? Glamping in Ladakh is some sort of a blessing in disguise for an extra-pampered soul.

Walk through pages of history: A multitude of ancient monuments testify to the chivalry of the royal past of India. The vast country boasts the oldest cities, temples, and more, making it a paradise for history buffs. Steeped in age-old tales, legacies, and traditions, the nation is packed with charming mosques, resilient forts, and streets enjoying cultural importance.

Watching the Kalbelia dance performance or the art of the traditional brass and copper craft of utensil making leaves you awestruck. These are included on the UNESCO's Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage. Not only this, even the cities like Fatehpur Sikri and Ahmedabad are the country's pride. Also, many of the monuments act as mesmerizing backdrops for a few performances, which present a visual retreat.

Get a taste of adventure: If you're among those who love taking the fun quotient to the next level, then India is for you. So go trekking, take up the challenge to walk on the Frozen Zanskar River, and savor the bird's eye view of the town with hot air ballooning. The list of insane adventurous things to do in India is endless.

Satiate your adrenaline rush with river rafting. Enter into a real world of adventure with exciting water sports in Goa and feel the thrill. In addition to this, the beguiling underwater world of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands awaits to be discovered. From Skiing and bungee jumping to caving, everything promises to keep your spirits high. Have the guts to try flying fox, skydiving, dune bashing, and paragliding which are surely for the faint-hearted?

Pamper your soul with Yoga and Ayurveda: Cradle to the Ayurveda, the ancient science of life; India makes rejuvenation a memorable affair. Hailed as the world's oldest health care system, Ayurveda is bliss for mind, body, and soul. For over 5,000 years, the practice has been helping people attain long life, positive health, natural beauty, and holistic well-being. Soothe yourself with bespoke Ayurvedic treatments and relaxing therapies inspired by authentic rituals.

Offering an ideal escape from the mundane lifestyle, India has been serving mankind for a long time. Bestowed with iconic spas and Ayurveda resorts, the country helps to swipe away all your worries. Not only this, Ayurveda and yoga, along with Meditation, go hand in hand. We bet there is nothing better than meditating amidst serene environs along the banks of River Ganga.

India is blessed with a number of pilgrimage sites: A divine sojourn gives you the answers to most of your queries. Besides attaining spiritual enlightenment, a pilgrimage to any sacred site helps you attain nirvana. Even the foreigners can't resist themselves deluging in the devotion of Lord Krishna. Witness them smearing Chandan on their forehead and dancing deliriously while chanting 'Hare Rama, Hare Krishna'.

Apart from all this, India is a country where the revered Char Dhams share space with much treasured twelve Jyotirlingas. From 51 Shaktipeethas of the Goddess to the awe-inspiring monasteries of the Lord Buddha, India is the abode of all. From times immemorial, the unwavering faith of the devotees is apparent in the oddest rituals, festivals, hallowed prayers, etc. The aroma and fumes of Hawan Yajna are believed to make the environs and soul pure. Not only this, the nation offers many worship places to the followers of Christianity, Sikhism, Islam, and almost every religion.

Get charmed by sailing across the tranquil backwaters: India has one more enticing feature: the backwaters. Your handcrafted India tour packages must include exploring the backwaters in Kerala and Goa. Palm-fringed, verdant and graceful, these backwaters are unique in their own ways. India's answer to the refreshing canals in Thailand, these natural wonders are better explored on exquisitely crafted houseboats known as kettuvallams. The houseboats showcase a fantastic blend of contemporary and traditional luxury.

Cruise on placid waters, wake up to the chirping of the birds, and treat your eyes to the scenic views. The beautiful labyrinth of backwaters is so extraordinary to the 'God's Own Country'. Cherishing the boat ride at the time of sunset or under the moonlight is an experience of a lifetime.

Celebrate romance: Overlooking evocatively from the banks of River Yamuna, the iconic Taj Mahal is rightly titled as an epitome of love. As interesting as this one of the Seven Wonders of the World is its legend. If not this, how about surprising your beloved with a romantic underwater proposal. To make it extra special, go for a boat ride on the surreal lakes during sunset or sunrise.

Make your honeymoon ecstatic at a destination like Munnar or any hill station in India. Make a promise of togetherness, cherish 'We' time and complete privacy you both have been seeking for a long time. With the love of your life by your side, every moment you spend in India will help you curate memories of a lifetime.

Beaches in India cast a spell: A heaven for beach holiday lovers, India leaves you satisfied and surprised by its coastal beauty. Head to any beach holiday destination, tie a hammock and just relax. Or, if you want to appease the adventure junkie in you, try your hands at the enthralling water sports. Finally, if accompanied by your better half, go for a walk on the golden sand hand in hand. To put it in a nutshell, the beaches in India offer an eclectic mix of anything that you want.

Innumerable factors urge you to visit beaches. You can be here for dramatic sunsets, soak in the beauty, fun-filled moments, basking in the sunshine, or everything else. Party all night, shop at the flea markets, observe the shack life and sip on fresh coconut water. Worry not! There are a number of enchantments that can keep you on your toes.

Golden sand, the charm of folk tunes, interesting legends and you: The spellbinding allure of the Great Indian Desert recreates the magic of the Arabian Nights. A sparkling gem in the crown of Rajasthan, Jaisalmer adds colors to your imagination of the memorable holidays. Be it exciting camel safaris or challenging dune bashing, you can partake in all of them. However, the culture and traditional warmth dominate the city and overwhelm you.

From bonfires to stargazing, each experience is an unforgettable delight. Even when you are taking a well-deserved break, waking up early does have its advantages. You can feel the same as you witness the rising sun painting the sky and the entire Rann of Kutch in different hues. Another critical point to note about India is that the country boasts about a cold desert as well, and the name is Ladakh. So, embark on a quest to discover how varied the sands of land can be.

Innumerable reasons to celebrate: India celebrates New Year in 12 different ways and Holi in more than 5 distinctive manners. Such is the diversity of India. From the birth of Lord Krishna to the marriage of Lord Shiva, India celebrates it all with equal enthusiasm and zeal. Here, festivals are not just celebrations; these are a true manifestation of the rich tradition and culture.

From Diwali to Christmas and from Gurupurab to Eid-Ul-Fitr, every fiesta in the heart of every Indian and visitor to the country. There are dance festivals, harvest festivals, fiesta for the arrival of Gods, their farewell, the festival of kinship, and much more. Marked by masked dances, rigorous fasting, elaborate costumes, remarkable expressions, and whatnot! Every saga has a different tale to tell.

Savor the aroma of the verdant tea plantations: Ditch hot chocolate and sip on freshly brewed tea. Stroll amidst the scenic tea plantations and let the fragrance of the tea leaves blow away your senses. Nowhere else will you find 'Tea-positive' people. But, what is more interesting to note is how this refreshing drink reaches our kitchens.

Exploring the tea plantations gives you detailed insights into what goes to make a perfect cup of tea. Learn about how the tea is grown. Observe the tea puckers singing joyfully and carefully flipping the handpicked leaves into the basket tied behind them. Visit the tea factories and grab a chance to stay at a tea estate. For any tea lover, Assam, Munnar, and Darjeeling are must-visit destinations in India.

Taste the flavors of Indian cuisines: Culinary tours promise you authentic tastes of Indian delicacies. To start with, enjoy a hearty breakfast with idlis, aloo parantha, Mysore dosa, Upma, poha, etc. Then, treat your taste buds with the main course like Daal Baati Churma, Chole Bhature, Butter Chicken, Rogan Josh, etc. Club it with lassi or Mawa Kachori, and you are good to go!

In the evening, satiate your hunger with lip-smacking snacks like Samosa, Paneer Tikka, Pizza, Burger, and there is a lot more. For dinner, you can spare Malai Kofta, Navratan Korma, Tandori Chicken, Dal Makhni, or fish. End the day with desserts like ice cream, Rosh Gulla, rabri or kullad wali kheer, or tile wali kulfi. Already drooling, right?

If not in India, where else will you find such a vast variety to keep your spirits high.

Solo travel in India  

Every single one of our small group journeys has been designed to suit solo travellers: it varies depending on the trip you choose, but you can bet that around half of the travellers on your trip will be travelling alone. So, if there’s a trip you’ve always wanted to take but haven’t had the chance, don’t let being a solo traveller be the thing that puts you off.  

Best time to go to India

Generally speaking, the best time to visit India is between October and April. During this time the weather is warm (but not too hot), dry, and sunny with clear blue skies. From December to February, Delhi can be a bit foggy but the temperatures are typically cooler.

If spotting exotic wildlife is high on your agenda, head to India in April or May for the best chance of sightings. Water becomes scarce during the dry season so animals tend to congregate around the water holes to drink and bathe. 

The monsoon season usually occurs from May to September. During this time it’s generally wet, rainy and humid, but it is a good time to visit the north, especially the desert state of Rajasthan and the mountainous region of Ladakh where roads become passable after the snowy winter. 

To witness the spectacular Pushkar Camel Fair, book your Rajasthan trip towards the end of November, or to immerse yourself in the colourful festivities of the Hemis Festival, book a Northern India trip in June.

All our classic tours are also available as a Private Tour , offering you exclusive departures.

Best time to go

Flight duration, time difference, explore a vast nation of dazzling colour and contrasts.

India is among the world’s most rewarding destinations, from the exhilarating pace of life in its cities to its inspiring nature and exquisite temples.

On our India escorted tours and holidays, it’s as if you’re exploring an entire continent. In the north, you can visit the snow-dusted hill stations of the Indian Himalaya , and take a scenic rail ride aboard the Kalka-Shimla toy train. Or follow India’s Golden Triangle between lively capital Delhi , the desert city of Jaipur , and Agra – home of the Taj Mahal. Southern states such as Kerala offer further contrasts, with tropical backwaters and golden beaches. Wherever you go, English is an official language and widely spoken, making it easy for you to interact with the locals.

In India’s national parks , you can see the wildlife that so inspired Rudyard Kipling. Embark on Bengal tiger safaris, spot exotic birds, and watch elephants as they tramp and trumpet in the forests and rivers. Then there is the cuisine – one of the country’s great cultural exports. There is no more authentic place to sample it than at India’s sizzling street-food stalls.

There are few destinations where you can stay in a former palace and receive first-class service without breaking the bank: India is an exception. We include stays in luxury hotels and heritage havelis throughout our India escorted tours, ensuring a high level of comfort.

For most visitors, the biggest challenge is deciding where to start. That’s where Cox & Kings comes in. India has been at the heart of our story for over two and a half centuries, and our specialists know this country inside and out.

What our guests are saying?

I had no idea what to expect on my first trip to India along with four lady friends. It was one of the most enjoyable trips I have ever taken. Kishan drove us around Rajasthan, provided us with the information and knowledge we needed as we visited and learned about the culture and history of India. He assisted with money exchange, found us a pharmacy when needed, provided water, bananas and snacks for our travels, he assisted with the check in to our hotels and made sure we were all comfortable, safe and happy. We have such great photos and memories and are already planning our next adventure in India

David Young

We had a fabulous time on our India trip arranged by Pankaj. Every imaginable detail was covered and the service exceeded our expectations. He really listened to our interests and concerns and he truly instilled confidence that we will have an amazing experience, and he was right! Once we arrived in India, everything was incredible synchronized and proactive. We never ever had to wait or wonder about anything. The driver was one of the best as were the 5 star hotels. We did not miss a thing!

Amazing Jungle Safari Experience at Ranthambore National Park

We used Tour My India to visit Ranthambore National Park. Our contact person was Mr Naveen who was very thorough in answering my questions and providing information before and during our tour. Our driver to and from Jaipur was Mr Vikas. Driving in India can be a little wild, so we appreciated his safe driving. Our train out of Jaipur was later in the evening, so Mr Naveen arranged with Mr Vikas to take us to a restaurant for lunch and then be available to take us to the station. We appreciated this extra care attention to what we needed! Although we did not get to see any tigers, we did enjoy our visit to Ranthambore National Park!

15 Best Places to Visit in India, According to Travel Experts

F rom the alpine meadows of Kashmir to the palm-fringed beaches of Goa, these are some of the subcontinent’s most enchanting destinations.

As a former longtime Delhiite and frequent traveler to India, people often ask me what the country is like. I never know how to respond, for trying to sum up a nation as vast and diverse as India feels impossible. So, instead, I asked a few experts for their insights.

“If you visit India, you feel you have visited several countries, as every part is different,” says Mohd Shafi Billo, an inbound tour operator who specializes in helping international travelers plan their trips to the country. “It’s an exceptional destination, thanks to its culture, history, and inclusiveness of different people from different faiths, and it has everything to offer, from forts to mausoleums, wildlife tours to mountain adventures.”  

Shoba Rudra, founder and partner at hospitality consultancy Rare India , agrees. “The country is living a dynamic moment in history, ever-changing,” she says. “What's constant, however, is the vibrant culture lived through its festivals, cuisine, heritage, crafts, and performing arts.”

While it would take years to see it all, India is an approachable destination — if you can narrow things down. With that in mind, here are 15 of the best places to get you started on your sojourn to the subcontinent.

Stretching along the southernmost part of India’s Malabar Coast, the tropical state of Kerala entices visitors with its marshy backwaters, which most people visit on overnight houseboat adventures. These popular cruises “showcase lush landscapes and peaceful villages, and [give visitors] a glimpse into local life amid tranquil waters and picturesque surroundings,” says Billo. While the backwaters are a star attraction, the state offers much more to explore, from the tea plantations of Munnar, known for its cool climate and seemingly endless rolling hills, to the historic city of Kochi, celebrated in equal measure for its rich coastal history and contemporary art scene . The beaches aren’t too shabby, either. “North Kerala is also famous, as the Malabar Coast is where the spice trade flourished,” says Rudra. “The coastal area is picturesque and this region is still unexplored.”

On the opposite end of the country from Kerala, Kashmir offers entirely different — but equally captivating — landscapes. With its alpine climate, evergreen trees, and snowy winters, Kashmir is often likened to a mini Switzerland . Famed 13th-century Sufi poet Amir Khusrau once proclaimed in Farsi, “If there is a paradise on earth, it is this,” and he may have been onto something. At the heart of it all is Srinagar, Kashmir’s capital city, which is known for its elegant gardens and watery centerpiece, Dal Lake. “Highlights include staying on a houseboat or taking a shikara [traditional Kashmiri boat] ride,” says Billo, who hails from the area. Don't leave without indulging in wazwan , an opulent, meat-heavy feast that can feature up to three dozen dishes in one sitting. 

Occupying a high-altitude plateau in the northernmost reaches of India, Ladakh is characterized by otherworldly landscapes and big skies, punctuated by palatial stupas and monasteries. Many visitors come to Ladakh’s capital, Leh, during the short summer tourist season, but this surreal region offers plenty more to experience beyond the city. Billo suggests visiting the Nubra Valley, an isolated part of the old Silk Road that’s only accessible by crossing Khardung La, one of the world’s highest motorable passes. “The valley offers a glimpse into Ladakh's unique geography and cultural diversity with monasteries, quaint villages, and apricot orchards,” says Billo. The region is also rich with unusual wildlife, from elusive snow leopards to the scaled-down Bactrian camels that originated in the steppes of Central Asia.

Rishikesh, Uttarakhand

On the banks of the sacred Ganges River, the holy city of Rishikesh has held a place in the hearts of spiritually minded travelers — both from India and abroad — for generations. It’s the self-proclaimed “yoga capital of the world,” with a mix of traditional ashrams (spiritual rest houses) that cater largely to Hindu pilgrims and yoga centers that attract international visitors with teacher-training courses and meditation retreats. If you’re not into yoga, you’ll still find plenty to do here. Popular activities include visiting the ruins of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s ashram (dubbed the Beatles Ashram in honor of its most famous former residents) to whitewater rafting adventures on the mighty Ganges. It’s also a great place for a wellness getaway, and nearby Ananda in the Himalayas was voted one of Travel + Leisure readers' favorite international spas in 2023.

Auroville, Tamil Nadu

If you’re looking for a place that’s unlike anywhere else in India — or, frankly, the world — head to the intentional community of Auroville in South India. This UNESCO-recognized global township was founded in the 1960s with the goal of "realizing human unity," beyond the illusory divisions of creed or nationality, and it's home to generations of residents from around the world. Many visitors come for an hour or two, just long enough to view Auroville’s spiritual center — the golden, dome-shaped Matrimandir . However, it’s worth sticking around a bit longer to get a feel for what the community is about. As Akash Kapur, who grew up in Auroville and authored " Better to Have Gone " and " India Becoming ," puts it: "Come to Auroville if you're interested in alternative societies, sustainable living, or spirituality, but try not to just drop in for a few hours (as many do), and instead spend some time here, really getting to know the people and their work. The community rewards sustained immersion."

Andaman Islands

Although most people associate the crystalline waters of the Andaman Sea with Thai island getaways, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in this tropical region are under Indian control. This little stretch of paradise is full of gorgeous shorelines, but most visitors devote their vacations to the island of Swaraj Dweep (formerly known as Havelock). The most popular beach on the island is Radhanagar Beach , which offers just over a mile of white sand sandwiched between tropical jungle and warm, transparent waters. Getting to this remote island requires a bit of gumption: You'll need to fly from the Indian mainland to Port Blair on South Andaman Island, then catch a ferry or charter a seaplane for the final stretch. While visitors are welcome on many islands in the chain, a few — including secluded North Sentinel Island — are off-limits. 

While many travelers see India’s capital as a jumping-off point for visiting further-afield destinations, it’s worth sticking around for a while to truly appreciate what Delhi has to offer. There’s certainly never a dull moment in this busy metropolis, whether you’re shopping for handicrafts at one of its numerous markets or learning about medieval and Mughal history at one of its three UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Humayun's Tomb, Qutb Minar, and Red Fort. Although Delhi is undeniably rambunctious, it also has a quieter, more peaceful side that you can find amidst the trees and 15th-century tombs of Central Delhi’s Lodi Gardens or in the quiet interiors of the Baháʼí Lotus Temple.

Taj Mahal, Agra, Uttar Pradesh

Many travelers to India put the 17th-century Taj Mahal at the top of their list. This white marble mausoleum is easily India’s most recognizable structure — and it’s one of the New Seven Wonders of the World . This popular attraction also has a romantic backstory. “This iconic symbol of love is renowned for its architectural beauty, intricate marble work, and the captivating story behind its creation by emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal,” notes Billo. The bodies of the emperor and his wife remain interred in the Taj to this day. 

Jaipur. Rajasthan

The capital of Rajasthan and one-third of North India’s popular Golden Triangle tourist route (which also includes Agra and Delhi), Jaipur is a must-visit for those who love architecture and shopping. “The Pink City, as it's nicknamed, offers a rich cultural heritage, stunning [landmarks] like Amber Fort, vibrant bazaars, and intricate handicrafts,” says Billo. Many of Jaipur's key attractions are found in the historic walled part of the city, which became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2019. Highlights include Jantar Mantar (a collection of oversized — and fully functional — astronomical instruments dating to the 17th century) and Hawa Mahal, or Palace of the Winds, a honeycomb-shaped palace designed with tiny windows that allowed air to flow freely through its interior.

Jodhpur, Rajasthan

Dubbed the Blue City because of the cerulean-colored buildings that extend for miles through the oldest part of town, Jodhpur has long attracted travelers eager to explore the ramparts of the larger-than-life Mehrangarh Fort. It’s also home to the grandiose Umaid Bhawan Palace , which made headlines in 2018 when Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas tied the knot there. While Jodhpur’s beautiful, regal architecture is reason enough to visit, there’s more to the city than massive forts and grand palaces. “The area around the Toorji ka Jhalra stepwell in the old city is fun to explore,” says hotelier Sapna Bhatia, owner of Kaner Retreat and Jodhpur-area native. “For nature enthusiasts, there’s the Rao Jodha desert park near Mehrangarh Fort.”

Udaipur, Rajasthan

T+L readers' favorite city in Asia and second favorite city in the world , Udaipur very much fits the bill of a fairy tale destination. Nicknamed the City of Lakes, thanks to its seven lakes, this gorgeous destination is home to some of India's finest luxury hotels plus historic whitewashed palaces, including the magnificent City Palace, an 11-palace complex that houses hotels, a huge museum with an impressive collection of European crystal, and a royal residence. A short boat ride from the palace lies the 18th-century Taj Lake Palace, an opulent palace-turned-hotel in the middle of Lake Pichola. It’s a quick drive from The Oberoi, Udaivilas , a purpose-built palatial hotel with onion-domed cupolas and a moat-like swimming pool that directly connects to some of the rooms. 

If you’re looking for a less-frequented, but no less amazing, alternative to more touristed states such as Rajasthan, consider Gujarat. “Under-explored but culturally rich, this state in India is a tapestry of festivals, textiles, architectural heritage, communities, and landscape,” says Rudra. Gujarat was also the birthplace of Mahatma Gandhi, who led the Salt March, one of his most famous acts of peaceful protest, through the state in 1930. Rudra suggests visiting the National Salt Satyagraha Memorial , which “honors the activists through murals, installations, sculptures, art, and related film.” It's also worth checking out the Kutch district, known for its distinct metal bells , which were originally used for keeping track of livestock and are now popular as decorative wind chimes.

Kaziranga National Park, Assam

The northeast Indian state of Assam is home to a treasure for wildlife enthusiasts: Kaziranga National Park . This expansive, UNESCO-listed wildlife refuge near the borders of Bangladesh and Bhutan has the largest population of Indian one-horned rhinoceroses on the planet, providing a home to roughly 2,000 of these massive beasts. Although rhinos are the star attraction on park safaris, all sorts of animals live here, including tigers, elephants, gibbons, sloth bears, and a small number of endangered Ganges River dolphins. 

Historic, glitzy, and positively gargantuan, Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay) is easily one of India’s most cosmopolitan destinations. This city by the sea is the nation's financial and entertainment capital, and while you’re unlikely to rub shoulders with Bollywood stars here, you're sure to see a lot of impressive attractions in very little time. Take a boat out to Elephanta Island to explore fifth– and sixth–century rock-hewn cave temples, marvel at the grand Indo-Saracenic architecture at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus , or see thousands of clothes hanging out to dry at Dhobi Ghat, the world's largest open-air laundry. Then, head to the sleek neighborhood of Bandra West, where many of Mumbai’s best restaurants and hotels are located, including Taj Lands End, voted T+L readers' favorite city hotel in India in 2023.

India’s smallest state, Goa, is arguably its top beach destination, where long days of swimming and sunbathing turn into longer nights of partying on the sand. While Goa has been known as a hippie haven since the 1960s, it's started to shed its reputation in recent decades. It’s still very much a party state, though it also draws in families and couples in search of sea and sun, sans nightlife. It’s a great place for history buffs as well, with numerous seaside forts and UNESCO-recognized churches that were built when Goa was under Portuguese rule. And while the destination has always been loved for its fiery dishes that combine traditional Konkani ingredients with Portuguese influences, it has also emerged as a culinary hot spot , where a new generation of chefs is showcasing everything from Japanese yakitori to jackfruit tamales.

Indians embrace wanderlust, Uber data reveals surge in overseas travel

The data further reveals that summer holidays remain a peak travel period..

• Updated Jul 11, 2024, 12:26 PM IST

Indians are catching the travel bug like never before, and their preferred mode of transport in foreign lands hints at a growing appetite for exploration and comfort. Uber, the popular ride-hailing giant, released data today showcasing a remarkable surge in overseas trips taken by India-registered users in 2023.

According to Uber's insights, Indians journeyed to nearly 1,000 cities spanning 68 countries last year, demonstrating a significant increase in their travel footprint. While the list of explored destinations expanded significantly, the top three most frequented countries remained consistent: the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada.

The data further reveals that summer holidays remain a peak travel period, likely due to school and college breaks offering families extended time for vacations. May emerged as the busiest month for international travel in 2023, a shift from June in the previous year.

"Indians have been breaking all travel records over the past couple of years, and it’s heartwarming to see how Uber continues to be their trusted last-mile partner in these travels," remarked Prabhjeet Singh, President of Uber India and South Asia. "Be it the familiarity when landing at an airport in a new city, or the safety when riding late at night, it’s a huge mark of trust for us to see Indians book an Uber for their overseas travels.”

Interestingly, the data unveiled that Indians tend to embark on longer journeys while abroad, with average Uber trip distances being 25% higher compared to their rides within India. Furthermore, Indian travellers displayed a willingness to embrace diverse ride options, trying out 21 different Uber products across various countries. This included eco-conscious choices like Comfort Electric (premium EVs) and Multimodal Transit (integrating public transport like trains), in addition to the widely popular UberX.

Adding a touch of luxury to their overseas adventures, some Indians even found themselves chauffeured in high-end vehicles, including Porsche Cayennes, Jaguar F-PACEs, and even a Ford F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck.

The data underscores a clear trend: Indians are not just travelling more, they are venturing further, staying longer, and seeking comfort and convenience along the way.
