India Itineraries / India Holiday Packages created for you by our India Holiday Specialists. All India Itineraries / India Holiday Packages can be tailored to suit your needs and requirements. Browse our tailor-made India itineraries, from the Golden Triangle and Rajasthan's forts to Kerala's backwaters and twin-centre trips with Goa, Sri Lanka or the Maldives. Every itinerary below can be adapted to your dates, budget and pace.

Popular Ways to Combine India

Any of our clients choose to pair India with a second destination, creating a twin-centre holiday that mixes culture with relaxation. Here are the most popular combinations.

India & the Maldives

Combine the history and colour of the Golden Triangle with the white sand and turquoise water of the Maldives. It's a popular choice for honeymoons and milestone trips — culture and sightseeing first, all-inclusive island time after. See our India & Maldives and Kerala & Maldives itineraries.

India & Sri Lanka

For travellers who want more culture, wildlife and scenery without a beach-only finish, India and Sri Lanka work well together. Expect forts and palaces in Rajasthan, then tea plantations, temples and safaris in Sri Lanka. Take a look at our India & Sri Lanka and Kerala & Sri Lanka itineraries.

India & Goa

A simpler, single-country combination for those who want to see the Golden Triangle and then unwind without a long-haul flight in between. Goa offers a slower pace, good food and beach time to round off the trip. Browse our Golden Triangle & Goa and Taj & Goa itineraries.

North India & Kerala

For a fuller picture of the country in one trip, this combination pairs the forts and palaces of the north with the backwaters, tea hills and houseboats of Kerala in the south. It suits travellers who'd rather see two very different sides of India than add a separate country. See our North India & Kerala itinerary.

South India & Kerala

For a quieter, greener side of the country, Kerala's backwaters, tea plantations and houseboat cruises offer a different pace to the north. Often combined with North India or Sri Lanka for a longer, more varied trip.

Luxury & Train Journeys

(Maharajas' Express) For a more indulgent way to see India, our luxury train itineraries cover Rajasthan and beyond in style, with overnight stays on board between destinations. Best suited to longer trips and travellers wanting something more special-occasion.

How to Choose Your India Itinerary

With so many ways to experience India, here's a quick guide to which itinerary style suits you best. Classic Golden Triangle (Delhi, Agra, Jaipur) The classic introduction to India, covering Delhi's monuments, the Taj Mahal in Agra, and the forts and palaces of Jaipur. A good fit if it's your first visit and you want the essential sights in a shorter trip, typically 7–12 days. Beach Extensions (Goa, Maldives) If you'd like to balance sightseeing with relaxation, add Goa or the Maldives onto a Golden Triangle tour. These twin-centre trips suit honeymooners and anyone who wants culture and beach time without choosing between them.

India Itineraries FAQs

How long is a typical India itinerary?

Most of our India itineraries run from around 8 to 17 nights, depending on whether you're focusing on one region, such as the Golden Triangle or Kerala, or combining India with another destination like Sri Lanka or the Maldives. Every itinerary can be shortened or extended to suit the time you have.

Can I combine an India itinerary with another destination?

es. Many of our clients combine India with the Maldives, Sri Lanka or Goa for a twin-centre holiday - pairing cultural sightseeing in the north with beach time or a second country. See our Popular Ways to Combine India section above for some of our most booked combinations.

Are these itineraries fixed packages, or can they be tailored?

Every itinerary on this page is a starting point, not a fixed package. Our India Holiday Specialists can adjust the destinations, duration, hotels and pace to suit your requirements, whether you're travelling as a couple, a family or a group.

What's the best time of year to visit India?

October to March is generally the most comfortable time to visit, with cooler, drier weather across most of the country. Goa and Kerala have their own seasonal patterns, so it's worth checking with our specialists if you're combining regions or travelling outside these months.

Do I need a visa to visit India from the UK?

Yes, UK passport holders need a visa to enter India, usually arranged online in advance. Requirements can change, so we'd always recommend checking the latest guidance on our Passports and Visas page before booking.

What's included in the price shown on each itinerary?

The prices shown are a per-person guide price typically based on flights, accommodation and transfers as outlined in that itinerary, based on two people sharing. The final cost will depend on your travel dates, group size and any tailoring you'd like — get in touch for an accurate quote.

Is my India holiday financially protected?

Yes. As a flight-inclusive holiday, your trip is protected under our ATOL licence, and Charter Travel is also bonded with ABTA, so you can book with confidence.
