Top Indian Tourist Destinations Covered

The diverse geography, historical legacy, cultural richness, and differences in way of life across different sections of India have created an amazing variety of unique travel experiences throughout the country. Each Section offers visitors to India different types of experiences.

Depending on what type of traveller you are, heritage or spiritual traveller, nature lover or leisure tourist, you will find the right kind of experience. Our Indian tourist destinations portfolio brings together the most popular, well-loved, and consistently in-demand regions across the country, carefully curated within our India tour packages.

North India

The Himalayan mountains, renowned monuments, ancient cities, and holy rivers and fields of Northern India collectively contribute to the cultural and historical core of the country.

Travellers who want a mix of history, spirituality, activity, and beauty will find this area particularly appealing. Snow-covered ranges contrast with arid areas where remnants of historic temples are built alongside modern cities filled with life.

Himalayan hill stations to pilgrim sites; from palatial forts to UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Northern India is one of the most popular places in India to visit in your sightseeing tour packages!

South India

With its peaceful beauty, timeless historic buildings and rich cultural heritage, travel to Southern India is relaxing and completely immersive. Southern India is known for its old or historic temples, beautiful palm tree-lined lakes (backwaters), misty hill country, fragrant spice plantations and long sandy beaches. There is a general feeling of taking the time to experience Southern India rather than rushing through the sights as you would do in other parts of the world.

The major destinations (states) of Southern India that we offer India holiday tours to include: Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Southern India offers a balance between modern conveniences, rich culture and scenic nature from houseboat stays in Kerala; temple tours in Tamil Nadu; hill country getaways in Karnataka, to name just a few.

East and  North-East India

India's Eastern and North-Eastern Regions have some of the most spectacular scenery, biodiversity, and cultural diversity of any region in the country. In addition to beautiful tea plantations, hills, rivers, tribes, and wildlife, this area offers visitors a true, natural experience rather than the commercialised tourism typical in many other areas.

Sikkim, Darjeeling, Assam, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, and West Bengal are popular off-the-beaten-path destinations. These states are well-known areas of natural beauty in India and are a great offbeat choice for people who really want to experience something new and different.

West and Central India

West Indian geography is characterised by extreme contrast; it ranges from royal deserts to colourful metropolitan cities, from tranquil beach resorts to busy open marketplaces. The iconic attractions of this area include: magnificent forts and palaces, colourful festivals, varied cuisine, and spectacular coastline. Whether you prefer an exciting city environment or a relaxed holiday environment, West India offers it all.

Our most popular tour packages in India provide many options for some of our most popular Western destinations, such as Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Goa and the Rann of Kutch. 

When you travel to West India, there are so many options for what to do. Here are some options: Heritage walks or desert safaris (and everything in between); tropical beach vacations or city tours (again, countless possibilities). With so many things to do, the energy and variety of activities offered throughout Western India are truly astounding!

With our expertly curated India travel packages, you can explore these regions individually or combine multiple destinations into one seamless journey, ensuring a well-rounded and memorable Indian holiday experience.

Fairs and Festivals in India

Festivals in India are a celebration of life, colour, culture and community. Many travellers plan their India tour packages specifically around these celebrations to witness the country at its most vibrant and expressive.

From grand religious festivals and royal fairs to harvest celebrations and cultural carnivals, India's festive calendar runs throughout the year, offering something unique in every season and region.

Some festivals are celebrated across the country, cutting across regions and communities, making them ideal highlights in India cultural tour packages.
