One of the oldest civilisations in the world, India is a mosaic of multicultural experiences. With a rich heritage and myriad attractions, the country is among the most popular tourist destinations in the world. It covers an area of 32, 87,263 sq. km, extending from the snow-covered Himalayan heights to the tropical rain forests of the south. As the 7th largest country in the world, India stands apart from the rest of Asia, marked off as it is by mountains and the sea, which give the country a distinct geographical entity.
Fringed by the Great Himalayas in the north, it stretches southwards and at the Tropic of Cancer, tapers off into the Indian Ocean between the Bay of Bengal on the east and the Arabian Sea on the west. As you travel the expanse of the country, you are greeted by diverse nuances of cuisines, faiths, arts, crafts, music, nature, lands, tribes, history and adventure sports. India has a mesmeric conflation of the old and the new. As the bustling old bazaars rub shoulders with swanky shopping malls, and majestic monuments accompany luxurious heritage hotels, the quintessential traveller can get the best of both worlds. Head to the mountains, enjoy a beach retreat or cruise through the golden Thar, India has options galore for all.

Sarah and Paul
Sarah and I would like to thank you for organizing such a wonderful trip to India. I will admit when we first booked we had some trepidation going with an India based rather than European firm but we were exceptionally happy with our decision and would strongly recommend your service to others. The drivers were excellent and the guides were too. The advice and guidance on hotels and activity selection were likewise excellent.
Kind Regards
Incredible India, I wanted to write to you for the longest time but was caught up with other things, I apologize for that. First, I would like to thank you for the excellent job you have done for my trip from planning to booking and to addressing my needs. Everything worked out as planned. I was bit nervous as it was my first India trip with my in-laws.Overall we had a wonderful time we will always remember you all
Mario Galea and Family
Incredible India justified our choice of hospitality professionals during our two week tour of Rajasthan. They fully met our expectations of personal attention in every respect, overall tour manager Mr. Pawan, tour site managers, the guides in every place, the very careful and skillful drivers, the good hotels but above all Incredible India staff do not just leave you to it and we appreciated their occasional call from head office to check whether all was going well. My family and I are grateful to, and happy with, Incredible India and our visit to India.
The Gudka Family
Dear Sir, The itinerary was meticulously planned and hotels were individually selected with Shweta’s expertise and guidance from London. From the moment we landed in Delhi to departing from Udaipur, we were very well taken care of by each of the incredible India reps in the cities, who were happy to make changes and adjustments as we wished. We also found the English-speaking guides knowledgeable and made the tours interesting, each in their own way.

"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
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.

- 20 years of Incredible India; A successful endeavour?
India is a land of paradoxes, a blend of history and modernity - a fascinating and enigmatic land, almost as big as twenty-three European countries combined, with each state projecting a plethora of diversity. As a result, India was portrayed as a multiproduct country through Incredible India, which was created as the mother brand, with individual Indian states forming their brand entity and emerging as sub-brands.

Ministry of Tourism to revamp its Incredible India digital platforms
The tourism ministry had last revamped its Incredible India digital platforms in 2018. As per the RFP, the objective of the revamp is to make the Incredible India digital interface more 'tourist centric' and make it 'one-stop shop' for information and services through a traveller’s journey - dreaming, planning, booking, visiting and returning.

Complete India Travel Guide
INDIA IS ONE OF the world’s most fascinating travel destinations. A billion people, an ancient and unbroken culture, a kaleidoscope of sights, sounds, smells … and one of the fastest changing societies on earth. There is nothing like your first India trip, your first visit to India. You find out fast that Incredible India really does accurately describe a place that is unlike anywhere else. All of the best India travel tips on earth can only go so far when you’re hit with the sensory overload and culture shock that comes with tourism to India.
On the other hand, you will never feel so alive, may never make so many travel memories, and may never again have such a life-changing and transformative trip. And it doesn’t matter what India destinations you visit, what tourist attractions or places. Travel in India will hit you between the eyes on your first visit, no matter what. But having said that, with proper research and a bit of hand-holding, you can experience more of the magic of travel to India and less of the madness. And that’s the point of this post, this India travel blog, and my India for Beginners custom tours .
Why am I qualified to write this travel to India guide?
I was drawn to India from an early age. When I finally made the leap and started travelling in India in 2005, I was hooked. I’ve spent more than six eight nine years altogether travelling the length and breadth of the subcontinent, largely solo, since 2005 and now live in Rishikesh, the Yoga capital of the world Delhi.(I’m also a very long-time Yoga student.)
I’ve been writing and blogging about India and my travels in India since 2005, researching India travel destinations, attending travel conferences, and getting to know the travel industry (and who the best travel agencies in India are). I have had a lifetime of travel experiences here and I want to share everything I’ve learned with you in this India Travel Guide, through the other posts on this site, and through my partnerships with trusted companies.
I have a B.A. in Journalism from Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada; a Yoga Teacher Training certificate from Yoga Space in Toronto, Canada, a certificate from the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram in Chennai; and I am a TICO certified travel agent in Ontario, Canada. I’ve been the lucky recipient of many awards for travel writing and blogging; in 2019 I won the National Tourism Award for Best Foreign Travel Journalist / Blogger from Incredible India Tourism.

The best places to visit in India are the ones that call you. They may or may not be the most well-known. Many people feel they have to visit the Golden Triangle – Delhi, Agra for the Taj Mahal, and Jaipur – on their first trip to India. But you don’t. India has amazing places all over the country, some of which are not well publicized.
India is called a subcontinent because of the vast range of landscape, geography, and climate. Within the borders of India, you can find the soaring snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas, the desert state of Rajasthan , the lush rainforests of South India, the tropical beaches of Goa, Kerala, Karnataka, and other states, and the jungles of central India, where tigers roam. You can travel in India throughout the year, following the seasons and climate, and never get bored. India is also home to many UNESCO World Heritage sites . You could literally travel around the country visiting incredible heritage sites.
India has some of the most spectacular hotels in the world. Read my guide to the Best hotels in India and how to book them for inspiration and ideas.
There are so many amazing destinations and tourist attractions to choose from, it’s actually hard to know where to begin. A lot of it will depend on your interests. Most people start in the major cities. Make sure you read my extensive Travel Guide to Delhi if you land in the capital to begin your trip. Mumbai is an incredible city to visit, and I also love Varanasi, Amritsar, Rishikesh, Udaipur, and Jaisalmer.
Along with an incredible diversity of landscape and climate, India is also incredibly diverse in terms of culture, so I would recommend getting to several different states. They are literally as different from each other as European countries are. My favourite states are Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Kerala. But of course I also like Goa, Punjab, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Himachal Pradesh, West Bengal, Sikkim, and Odisha. The rest I need to get to!
As for tourist attractions and landmarks, believe it or not, there are many monuments that can compete with the Taj Mahal for the wow factor – places like Ellora and Ajanta , Hampi , Mahabalipuram, Khajuraho, the forts and palaces of Rajasthan . There are so many – India has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to antiquity. Just have a look at my Landmarks of India post for a sample.
And of course there are innumerable spiritual places in India to visit. The list would be never-ending, however, you could start with Varanasi, Rishikesh, Pushkar, Dharamsala, and Haridwar.
The first time I visited to India, I spent six months travelling the length and breadth of the country, and I’m really glad I did. It took me several months just to get my “India legs” and feel confident and comfortable. And it took the entire journey for me to immerse into the culture and begin to get to know it. India is vast, and ancient, and complicated — and every statement you can make about India, you find out eventually the opposite is also true.
Having said that, my advice is to take at least 2-3 weeks, preferably a month or two. You won’t regret it IF you are one of the people who falls madly in love with India. I also recommend that you don’t move around too much. Travel in India is tiring; it really is the ideal destination for slow travel. Pick one or two different regions and sink in. Don’t worry about FOMO (fear of missing out): India is always India. You won’t miss anything.
Many people are concerned about getting sick in India and looking for ways to stay healthy and prevent travelers diarrhea aka Delhi Belly. Check out my top tips and comprehensive guide on How to avoid getting sick in India .

- How to use the toilet in India and use water instead of toilet paper
- Boost your immune system and stay healthy with Yoga
What should I eat in India?
India is a foodie’s paradise. There is amazing food all across the country, and it differs significantly from region to region. The type of food that westerners know as “Indian food” is most typically Punjabi food — butter chicken, palak paneer, naan, roti, etc. But there are many, many other cuisines in India. The one things they all have in common is flavour! Indians like lots of flavour and use lots of spices. Not every dish is hot ‘n spicy, but most are very flavourful.
Quite often, when visitors develop “traveler’s tummy,” they are not sick, they are just adjusting to food and beverages that are completely new and different. Sometimes traveler’s get the runs, and sometimes constipation (believe it or not). This is normal. Switching to bland food like rice, toast, and bananas for a few days should do the trick.
Here’s some reading on Breathedreamgo about the food in India:
- 20 famous foods of India (with recipes)
- Guide to the famous foods of Delhi
- Unique guide to Mumbai street food
Yes, you need a Visa to travel in India. Click here for for information on obtaining an Indian tourist Visa .
How much does it cost to travel in India?
It can cost from $20 a day to $2000 and more. Much more. India really does represent the complete spectrum of dirt-cheap hotels, guest houses, and hostels all the way up to some of the most incredible — and expensive — hotels in the world. If you are a backpacker or budget traveller, check out this budget guide to backpacking in India .
Like everything in India, the weather is extreme. And you would be very wise to do some research and plan your trip accordingly. India is a subcontinent, and this means that within the country’s borders you can find a very wide range of landscapes, geographies, and climates — from the soaring, snow-covered Himalayas to the dry deserts of Rajasthan, and from the tropical beaches of Kerala to the jungles of Madhya Pradesh.
But, generally speaking the seasons in India follow like this:
- Winter : Winter in India is from December to February and it’s a pleasant time to be in most parts of the country except the North and the mountains, where it can get very cold and snowy. Be prepared: places like Delhi, Rajasthan, and Rishikesh get COLD in late December and through January. But in tropical South India, winter is perfect.
- Shoulder seasons : October and November and February to April are the best times to be in most of India. It can still be cold in the mountains, and rainy in the Northeast, but otherwise, these are the optimum months to visit India.
- Monsoon : There are two monsoons in India. There’s a monsoon that hits the west coast (Kerala) in early June and travels north — it’s the more well-known one. There’s another monsoon in the fall that hits the east coast, especially West Bengal and the Northeast.
- Summer . Summer in India is hot. May and June are the two hottest months, with the north and the plains searing. They get some relief when the monsoon hits, but then it becomes humid and sticky. I would avoid India May-to-August if possible, except for the mountains and hill stations. Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand are the best states to visit in summer — though the Chardham Yatra in Garwhal, Uttarakhand attracts masses of pilgrims and the roads are clogged with traffic.
Taking the train in India is one of those experiences you really shouldn’t miss. It’s an adventure and it gives you a taste of “the real India,” away from the tourist centres. There’s a lot you need to know about booking, and about different types of trains and classes. I wrote this detailed guide to Taking the train in India — which also includes travelling by plane, bus, auto, taxi and more.
Indian festivals tend to be big, rowdy, colourful, and rambunctious. And plentiful. There are festivals every day of the year, though many are regional or religious. I live in India and I constantly hear about festivals I’ve never heard of before! The really big festivals, however, are usually pan-India or state-wide. Some are mostly in North India, like Diwali. And some are mostly in South India, like Pongal.
Before you book your trip to India there are a couple of festivals you need to know about — as they can affect traffic and travel. Number one is Diwali, which is basically Christmas in India. Everything shuts down for about three days, and it’s hard to move around. The date changes every year, because it’s based on the lunar calendar, so do check. Same with Holi in North India.
Check out my post Top 5 Festivals for foreign visitors to India to read about Diwali, Holi, the Pushkar Camel Fair, Ganesh Chaturthi (Mumbai) and Durga Puja (Kolkata). Also check out:

Is India safe? Can women travel alone in India?
The negative media attention India has received in the last six years or so has skewed the perception of travel in India. I understand why women are concerned about travel safety in India, there have been some terrible incidents, and it can be very uncomfortable to be a woman in India.
However, if you are ready, take the right precautions, and use common sense, there is no reason why you can’t travel safely in India — barring the unexpected. Bad things can happen anywhere, so there’s no guarantees.
I’ve travelled extensively alone in India over the past 13 years, and I have been uncomfortable on many occasions — but I have never really felt unsafe or threatened. I HIGHLY recommend that you read this post: Is India safe? My top 20 tips for women travelling in India . And this one: Female solo travel in India: Girls guide to being rude .
It’s unfortunate that a travel guide to India must include sections on women’s safety and preferred clothing. But that’s the way it is, we must deal with reality. India is a traditional society in the throes of great change, and it’s very wise to understand this and dress and act accordingly. I HIGHLY recommend that you read this post: What to wear when travelling in India for detailed suggestions.
What are the best tours in India?
I always recommend that first time visitors to India take a tour. It’s the best way to ease into travel in India, which can be very challenging until you learn the ropes. You can take a small group tour, or a custom tour.
- Custom tours. I offer India for Beginners custom tours to give people a helping hand.
- Small group tours. There are a lot of great small group tour companies, but two of my favourites are G Adventure and Intrepid Travel. You can read more about whether G Adventures or Intrepid Travel tours are right for you here .
What are the best travel guide books?
In India, the main tourism circuit is called the Golden Triangle: Delhi-Agra-Jaipur. The other most popular tourist states for foreigners are Rajasthan, Goa, and Kerala. There are a lot of amazing places to visit in Rajasthan alone! Mumbai, Rishikesh, Dharamsala and Pondicherry also get quite a lot of foreign tourists. The rest of the country — which is a LOT — is basically offbeat.
Off-beat India tends to have very little in the way of tourism infrastructure in place, so it is for the more adventurous traveller. If you step off the well-travelled path, you will find unspoilt landscapes, friendly and honest people, and a non-stereotypical experience of India that may surprise you. It’s also a good idea to pursue these un-touristy locations if you support the principles of Responsible Tourism, which includes packing reusable water bottles and other zero waste products .

- Get off the beaten path in Chhattisgarh

Nice experience....
Tour of Do Dham - Yamunotri & Gangotri for 7 days from 10.05.22 to 16.05.22 Overall arrangements were very good. Our Darshan of both Yamunotri & Gangotri was very nice. Hotels arranged were good.

We are Tour My India's repeat customers. We just love to deal with Manvendra and we find him and his suggestions really genuine and trust worthy.

There were absolutely no hiccups and we thoroughly enjoyed the trip all along. I will definitely start planning my next trip with Tour My India guided by Manvendra.
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!

The various states in the area, with their different topographies, bring in different variations in culture even though they are in close proximity to each other. For example, if we look at the mountainous region of Uttarakhand, Ladakh, Jammu & Kashmir, and Himachal Pradesh, they create and wear traditionally woven beautiful Pankhi and Pashmina Shawls, which keep them warm during the harsh winters. Himachal is also known for its Angora wool Shawls, made from the soft coats of Angora rabbits. On the other hand, the Kota Doria fabric of Rajasthan is more suitable for the state's weather, being a light and airy material perfect for summers.

Puducherry, having been a French colony for around 158 years, still retains French as one of the spoken languages in the union territory.
Though being part of the same country, the scripts of North and South India vary immensely. Their origins in the Brahmi language caused variations along the way, as the script travelled upward from the South. Different mediums used to write the script are attributed to this difference.

It is more than just fighting; it includes physical control and breathing methods. Some forms of Thang Ta are ritualistic in nature and are performed at special rites such as funerals.
The North eastern region is also well-known for its crafts made of bamboo, cane, and reeds. It is also known for weaving some of the finest silks, such as the Eri, Muga, and Pat silk types. Eri silk, made in Assam, is often called "Peace silk" because of the way it is produced. It is extracted from the cocoons of moths who have already emerged, unlike other methods where the cocoons containing the pupae are boiled. In this method, no insects are killed, hence the name "Peace silk." The North East also has some wonderful and historically prominent sites, such as the Urgelling Gompa in Arunachal Pradesh. This monastery is considered important for the followers of Buddhism since it is said to be the birthplace of the 6th Dalai Lama. Manipur's Kangla Fort is also of immense significance to the people of Manipur. Kangla used to be the state's capital, a major political and religious center, and is highly regarded by the Manipuris as a major landmark in their history. Next is the Water Palace or the Neer Mahal. It is a royal palace built by the Manikya Empire from Tripura.
It is situated in the middle of the Rudrasagar Lake and is a beautiful display of Hindu and Islamic architecture. Apart from these, truly marvelous to behold are the living root bridges of Meghalaya. These bridges are made by the indigenous people of the Khasi and Jaintia tribes over centuries, using the roots of trees. They make it possible for them to travel and are helpful during the monsoon season when most rivers overflow. Prominent living root bridges in Meghalaya are the Nongriat and the Cherrapunji root bridges. These bridges are a display of the harmony between nature and people. Another fascinating concept from the Northeast is the Nghah Lou Dawr. At a distance of 65 kilometers from Aizawl, the capital city of Mizoram, there are shops called Nghah Lou Dawr. These shops sell vegetables, fruits, and regional eatables. What makes these shops special is the absence of a shopkeeper! These shops do not have a shopkeeper but have prices listed and expect the customers to pay for whatever they buy honestly. These shops are need-based, as many of the owners are farmers who do not have help to run both the farm and the shop. Despite there being no surveillance, these shops work well due to the trust the farmers have in people.

Frequently Asked Questions
Some frequently asked questions about india tourism & holiday packages., what is the best time to travel to india.
