Independent India travel - meet the locals

Build your own India trip

India offers an irresistible combination of majestic forts, chaotic cities, spiritual temples, holy rivers, golden beaches, snow-capped mountains, tea plantations, and vast deserts.

At every turn, you'll find yourself surrounded by new sights, sounds, smells - and holy cows. It's an endearing, beautiful and at times overwhelming country, so we recommend planning your India trip carefully. 

We'll give you the freedom to explore India your own way, staying in Mughal palaces, traditional desert clay huts and Keralan rice barges, travelling by private car or train. You can end your trip on the beaches of Goa, Kerala, or even the Maldives. Our friendly India specialists have travelled extensively in India, so we really can help you to build your ideal India Travel Plan.

Experience India at your own pace

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

If you would like to organise your India trip in advance but you're not looking for a group tour, we offer the perfect solution. You can build an action-packed India Travel Plan or 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. We'll organise your local transport on trains, planes, buses and even camels, so that you can travel through India in your own individual style.
