Generally, the best time for an India tour is between October and March, when the weather is warm, dry and sunny. However, it's worth noting variations in regions such as Rajasthan, where there tends to be fog and cooler temperatures in December and January.

If you plan to visit the foothills of the Himalayas, it's recommended that you travel between June and September. Much of the rest of the country experiences monsoon season at this time of year. For the southern regions, November onwards will deliver better weather, as monsoon season will have subsided by this time.

Our team of experts can advise accordingly, depending on what you'd like to include in your India tour itinerary and when you'd like to travel. Find out more about this by viewing our climate guide for India.

Our luxury private tours in India allow you to tick off several bucket list destinations in one unforgettable adventure.

A Golden Triangle tour of India will enable you to experience Jaipur, Delhi and Agra, home to the Taj Mahal, in one trip. But this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to India's offering.

Other major cities include Mumbai, Chennai and Calcutta, which promise a visual feast of markets, temples and epic skylines. Or you can opt for an adventure holiday tour high above sea level to the foothills of the Himalayas. Here, you can see the mountain kingdom of Leh and colourful Shimla, a former summer retreat for the British Raj. Meanwhile, during a south India tour, you can soak up sunsets on the beaches of Goa, see the vibrant Hindu temples across Tamil Nadu and unwind on a cruise through the backwaters of Kerala.

For a slice of tranquillity, head to the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal. Across these 572 tropical islands, you can experience everything from scuba diving to indigenous tribal culture. To step into the wild, choose from national parks such as Ranthambore, Bandhavgarh, Pench, Satpura and Kanha, the latter of which is said to have inspired Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book.

We can shape your itinerary requests into an India tour that will satisfy your travelling desires. This might look like a north India tour, a family-friendly escape or something completely different.
