It was a great trip and a wonderful experience. We had a very good guide and a lot of fun with our group. I can recommend an india trip to everyone who hasn’t been there yet!

13-Day India Tour

My favourite part was camping in the Thar Desert and sleeping under the stars. Amazing food, amazing people and probably by favourite country that I have visited so far in my life.

13-Day India Tour

We covered a lot of ground during the trip, which has been carefully planned out to squeeze as much out of this amazing country as possible. All the activities were great fun, and I have made so many…

About our India Tours

With India being such a massive country, there is no wrong time to travel there. The most popular months are November to March when Rajasthan and the area around the Taj Mahal is hot but dry. In the summer months, it gets even hotter and more humid but the pay off is that there are often far fewer tourists around meaning you get a much more authentic experience.

Travelling around India is as memorable as some of the country’s biggest highlights. On a tour of India, you can be bunking down for the night on an overnight train or riding a packed bus with the locals. Tuk-tuks are an amazing way of navigating narrow streets quickly while out in the desert, camels can carry you to an amazing campsite surrounded by nothing but stars.

In order to make it an affordable tour, we mainly use public transport. This also reduces your carbon footprint and ensures that you travel in a way that limits your impact on the environment.

We only stay at the best hostels in India. On an India trip, it’s all about the hustle and bustle of the streets, madness of the noise and smells of the delicious street food. The hostels we use are a quiet and peaceful oasis away from the chaos and while clean and comfortable, are a home away from home. Should you prefer your own room away from the camaraderie of the dorms, you can upgrade to a private room but an absolute highlight of a trip to India is an overnight adventure into the desert. There you share stories around the campfire and sleep on raised beds under the stars.

The food you’ll try on the India tour is fresh, flavoursome and delicious. Food hygiene standards are not what they are in the UK (it’s called Delhi-belly for a reason) but on our India tours, your Adventure Leader will be able to recommend the most delicious, affordable restaurants ensuring you get to try all the best local food without any dodgy curries causing you to miss out on any fun activities.  

Many of the hostels we use on our India adventures now provide free filtered water so bring a reusable water bottle with you to reduce your plastic waste. You can also use water filters or purifiers to get rid of any bad bacteria or viruses in the tap water. 

You will need a visa to enter India but you can apply for one quite easily online. All you need to do is upload a passport photo, scan your passport, pay a fee and then sit tight until your visa is approved. It usually takes only a couple of days.

There is only one way to see the Taj Mahal and that is at sunrise. It’s the quietest time to visit although queues will still snake round the block hours before the gates open. It is when the sun is at its coolest, the monkeys are most active and the fewest people are around. You won’t feel like you have the Taj all to yourself, but you can find quiet corners to perfect that Insta-pose.
