Goa remains one of India's most popular beach destinations, offering a blend of golden sand beaches, Portuguese colonial architecture, lively markets and excellent seafood.

For wildlife lovers, Ranthambore National Park is one of the best places in India to see Bengal tigers in their natural habitat, set amongst ancient ruins and dense forest. A tiger safari is one of the most popular additions to a Golden Triangle tour, and can easily be built into your 2026/2027 India itinerary. A popular choice by many India travellers is our India Golden Triangle Tour & Ranthambore Tiger Safari.
Beyond Jaipur, Rajasthan is home to some of India's most spectacular forts, palaces and desert landscapes, from the Maharaja Express luxury train journey to Lake Pichola and the Lotus Temple. For travellers wanting to go beyond the Golden Triangle, Rajasthan offers an even deeper dive into India's royal history.
Often described as "Paradise on Earth," Kashmir offers a striking contrast to the rest of India, with snow-capped mountains, serene lakes and houseboat stays on Dal Lake.

Combining India with the Maldives or a Golden Triangle tour or Kerala holiday with the Maldives is one of our most popular itineraries, particularly for honeymooners.

For an even more exciting adventure, why not combine India's Golden Triangle with Kerala and the Maldives!

India offers a depth of culture and history matched by few other destinations on earth. On your 2026/2027 India holiday you can walk through Mughal forts and palaces, marvel at the Taj Mahal in Agra, explore the bustling streets of Old and New Delhi, and discover the pink-hued city of Jaipur. Every region tells a different story, from Rajasthan's maharajas to Kerala's spice trade history, giving you a genuinely immersive holiday rather than just a series of sights.
Few destinations offer the sheer variety that India does. In one trip you could explore the historic Golden Triangle, relax on the beaches of Goa or Kerala, go in search of Bengal tigers on safari at Ranthambore National Park, or cruise the tranquil backwaters of Kerala by houseboat. Whether you want culture, wildlife, relaxation or adventure, your India holiday in 2026/2027 can be tailor-made to include exactly what you're looking for.
India is home to some of the world's most remarkable wildlife experiences. A safari at Ranthambore National Park gives you the chance to see Bengal tigers roaming freely amid ancient ruins and forest, while Kerala's backwaters and hill stations offer a completely different side of the country's natural beauty. For travellers looking to add something unforgettable to their Golden Triangle tour, a tiger safari is one of the most popular additions we arrange.
Compared to many long-haul destinations, India offers excellent value, particularly when it comes to accommodation, dining and guided experiences. This means your India holiday budget can stretch further, whether that's upgrading to a 5-star beachfront resort in Goa, adding a private guide for your Golden Triangle tour, or extending your trip with a twin centre stay in the Maldives or Sri Lanka.
No two India holidays need look the same. Our travel specialists will work with you to design an itinerary built entirely around your interests and pace, whether that's a fully escorted tour with a guide throughout, or an independent itinerary with private transfers between destinations. From a 5-night Golden Triangle highlights trip to a 19-night multi-centre adventure, your 2026/2027 India holiday is built around you.
The Golden Triangle is best visited between October and March, when daytime temperatures are far more comfortable for sightseeing and exploring forts, palaces and busy city streets. The cooler winter months, particularly December and January, are the most popular time to travel, so booking early for peak season dates is recommended.
For a beach holiday in Goa or Kerala, the best months to travel are November through to February, when you'll enjoy warm, dry weather and calm seas. Both regions experience a monsoon season from around June to September, which is best avoided if a beach holiday is the main focus of your trip.
Kashmir works on the opposite seasonal pattern to much of India, with the best time to visit being between May and September, when the valleys, lakes and mountains are at their most accessible and the weather is mild. If you're combining Kashmir with other regions of India on your 2026/2027 holiday, your travel advisor can help plan a route that works around the differing seasons.
India's monsoon season broadly runs from June to September, varying slightly by region, and can bring heavy rainfall, high humidity and disruption to travel plans. We generally recommend avoiding monsoon season for most first-time visitors, particularly if your holiday includes outdoor sightseeing, safari experiences or beach time, and our specialists can advise on the best window for your specific itinerary.
The cost of an India holiday depends on a number of factors, including the regions you visit, your choice of hotel category, whether you opt for a fully escorted tour or independent tailor-made itinerary, and the time of year you travel. Adding extras such as a private guide, a tiger safari at Ranthambore, or a twin centre extension to the Maldives or Sri Lanka will also affect the overall cost.
A Golden Triangle tour covering Delhi, Agra and Jaipur is one of the most accessible ways to experience India, with shorter itineraries available from around 8 days. Adding a Ranthambore Tiger Safari or extending into Goa can be done without dramatically increasing your overall trip length, making it an excellent option for travellers with limited time.
For travellers wanting to combine India's culture with beach relaxation, multi-centre holidays naturally cost more due to the additional flights and longer trip length, but offer outstanding value when you consider you're experiencing two or three destinations in one seamless itinerary. Our India holidays start from around £2,690pp for a 15-day India and Sri Lanka combination, rising to £3,000–£3,500pp for longer Golden Triangle and Maldives itineraries of 14 days or more.
The prices shown on our website are a sample of the holidays we can arrange, based on specific dates and group sizes. As every India holiday is tailor-made, the best way to get an accurate, live price for your exact travel dates, group size and preferred regions is to call our India specialists on 01635 551011 or complete our online enquiry form.

Most first-time visitors choose a Golden Triangle itinerary covering Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, which typically takes 5-8 days to explore comfortably. If you want to combine cultural sightseeing with a beach extension in Goa, Kerala, Sri Lanka or the Maldives, we recommend allowing 12-19 nights in total. Our India Itineraries page has a range of ready-made holidays from 8 to 19 days that can be tailored to your available time and budget.
The best time to visit Delhi, Agra, Jaipur and most of Rajasthan is between October and March, when temperatures are cooler and far more comfortable for sightseeing. Goa and Kerala are best visited from November to February, avoiding the monsoon season which typically runs June to September. Kashmir works the other way round - its best season is May to September, so if you're combining regions, your Charter Travel advisor can help plan a route that suits the weather throughout.
Goa is best known for its lively beaches, markets and nightlife in the north, with quieter, more relaxed stretches of coast in the south - a great option for families and couples alike. Kerala offers a slower pace, with palm-lined backwaters, houseboat cruises, tea plantations and Ayurvedic wellness retreats, making it popular with travellers looking for something more tranquil. Many of our clients combine a Golden Triangle tour with either Goa or Kerala for the best of both cultural sightseeing and beach relaxation.
Yes, UK passport holders need a visa to enter India, most commonly applied for online as an e-Visa in advance of travel. Visa requirements and processes can change, so we always recommend checking the latest official guidance before booking and again closer to departure.
