Between the towering Himalayas and Kerala’s beach fringed tip, there’s millennias worth of history to discover on a holiday in India. Civilisations rose in the Indus valley over 5,000 years ago and the great empires that have risen and fallen in that time have left impressive reminders of their wake. Considered the birthplace of some of the world’s major religions, the diverse characteristics of India’s culture are evident as you explore its different regions. Festivals hold great significance in India, especially the Holi Festival, a joyous occasion with singing, dancing as powder dye in vibrant colours is thrown on participants symbolising new life
India’s landscape is as diverse as its people and ranges from tropical beach paradises to primary forests of teak; to desert tundra’s broken by forts ruled by princes; and to chilly foothills clad in tea plantations opening onto vistas of the world’s highest mountain peaks. India’s wildlife draws visitors from far and wide with hundreds of species of mammals, reptiles and birds found in Ranthambore National Park alone. It is here that you may also spot the beautiful Bengal Tiger.
India is a kaleidoscope of cultures, and the food perfectly reflects this.Each region boasts its own delicious speciality so prepare for a deeply satisfying culinary journey. Whether you are sampling incredible street food in Mumbai, the freshest of grilled fish in Kerala or mouth-watering dosa in Tamil Nadu your tastebuds and senses will come alive.
The Taj Mahal is, simply, as breathtaking as the stories say. India’s most iconic building, a monument to love, and mausoleum to a favourite wife, the Taj Mahal is built entirely from white marble, its exquisite symmetry mirrored only by the reflecting pool that runs down the centre of its gardens.

The food offered on all of our India tours is locally sourced cuisine so that you can get a real taste for authentic ingredients and recipes, especially spices! Local delicacies from markets can also be tried as well as street food from places like Delhi. On request, western food is easily available. India is the ultimate foodie country and each city offers its own significant dish and a different range of flavours, textures and ingredients. Vegan and vegetarian dishes are in abundance with a huge choice for other dietary requirements as well.

India is now an extremely diverse place and most types of clothing are not restricted, however, women are expected to cover up when visiting places of religious significance like temples. Items such as knee length skirts and shorts are suitable for women (and shorts for men) and these types of clothes are widely accepted. It is always recommended to carry a light cardigan/shawl/pashmina when travelling as well as shoes that are easy to take on and off such as flip flops to be prepared to enter a religious building (some sites will require you to enter bare foot).

The local currency is Rupees which is a closed currency. It is best to either take AUD or USD in cash to change once you arrive in India, or to withdraw money from an ATM once you arrive in India (charges may apply). Smaller denominations are recommended for taxis, rickshaws, tipping and comfort breaks etc.

This is highly dependent on where you are travelling to, but distances could vary from 2 – 4 hours. Traffic is extremely busy in a lot of areas of India but on our tours we will always try to travel outside peak times.
