As India is such a large country with so many different things going on, you’ll never have the time to see it all on one trip. When choosing between the various guided tours of India that are available, it’s important to think about what interests you, what you like doing and how much time you’re planning to spend in the country. Rather than trying to see everything, you’ll get more out of your tour by concentrating on a particular element.
▪ Beaches & Waterways
If you’re looking for India’s best beaches, you should definitely head to the south. Some of the popular spots include Girgaum Chowpatty beach in Mumbai, Arambol beach in Goa and Kovalam beach in Kerala. Popular waterways include the Dal Lake in Srinagar.
▪ The “Classics”
The most popular tour is easily the Golden Triangle, which introduces you to three of India’s top destinations – Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. You will see some of the country’s biggest tourist attractions, from the Taj Mahal and Red Fort to the Pink City and Humayun’s Tomb.
▪ Mughal Sites
The Mughal dynasty had a huge impact on the country as it is today, so fans of the architecture will find plenty to see. Some of the more popular sites include: Fatehpur Sikri, the Red Fort, Humayun’s Tomb and the forts in Rajasthan (including Jaisalmer).
▪ Religious Sites
If you are interested in visiting some of the country’s religious sites, there are plenty to choose from. In north and central India, the temples include the Golden Temple in Amritsar and the Sun Temple in Konark. In the south, the temples in Hampi and Madurai are favoured.
▪ Spiritual Sites
Whilst you can encounter India’s more spiritual side no matter where you choose to visit, some of the popular pilgrimage towns include Ajmer and Pushkar in Rajasthan, and Amritsar in the Punjab. If you’re interested in yoga, we recommend booking into one of the many ashrams.
▪ Trekking & Mountains
Many who choose guided tours of India are interested in trekking, as some of the best treks in the world are found in the north. The ideal trekking season is September/October (after the monsoon). There are plenty of other adrenalin activities to participate in, too.
▪ Wildlife Encounters
There are national reserves all over the country where you can see native wildlife in their natural habitat (including lions, wild asses, one-horned rhinos and wild elephants). To see tigers, however, we recommend heading to the Madhya Pradesh or Rajasthan national parks.
We hope that the different routes outlined above have enabled you to choose a guided India tours that you will thoroughly enjoy.
