Independent India travel - meet the locals

Independent India travel at your own pace

India travel is in a league of its own. No other country in the world can challenge your senses in the same way. Independent India travel offers an irresistible combination of majestic forts, grand palaces, chaotic cities, spiritual temples, holy rivers, serene forests, golden beaches, awe-inspiring mountains, tea plantations, plodding camels and wild tigers.

Prepare to be surprised, delighted, shocked, and sometimes a little overpowered. At every turn, you'll find yourself surrounded by new sights, sounds, smells - and holy cows. It is an endearing, beautiful and at times overwhelming country, so we recommend planning your  India trip carefully to cut down on the culture shock. 

Travelling independently in India, you can get from A to B by private car or, for an eye-opening and authentic Indian experience, you can take the train. We give you the freedom to travel your own way, whether you fancy staying in a Mughal palace or a traditional clay hut in the desert. You can choose to end your trip on the sun-kissed beaches of Goa, Kerala, or even the Maldives. Our India specialists have travelled extensively in India and Nepal, so we really can help you to build an India Travel Plan that suits you perfectly.

Build your own India travel itinerary

We offer the opportunity to create your own unique independent India Travel Plan by offering you a wide variety of modules, or short independent India tours. These are bite-sized India travel experiences usually lasting between two and three days each. Choose from over 20 different modules, including classic highlights such as the Taj Mahal and holy Varanasi, as well as camel treks, tiger safaris, hidden beach paradises, and Himalayan homestays. 

If you would like to organise the basics of your independent India travel before departure but you're not interested in a group package, we offer the perfect solution. You can build an action-packed India Travel Plan or opt for something a little more laid back, it's completely up to you - arrange as little or as much as you like.

We also offer a number of sample India itineraries. These independent India travel itineraries feature our favourite combinations of modules. Let us make all necessary local transport reservations on trains, planes, buses and even camels, so that you can enjoy travelling through India in your own individual style.
