How long does India need
What an India journey costs
What the journeys above quote — stays, transfers, guiding. Flights excluded.
An indicative all-in budget, international flights included.
| Duration & Route | Style | Estimated Cost (per person) |
|---|---|---|
| Golden Triangle · 6–8 nights | Comfortable | Mid-range |
| Golden Triangle · 6–8 nights | Luxury / heritage hotels | Premium |
| Rajasthan in depth · 10–14 nights | Comfortable | Mid-range |
| Rajasthan in depth · 10–14 nights | Palace hotels | Premium |
| Kerala · 8–12 nights | Comfortable | Mid-range |
| Ladakh · 9–12 nights | Comfortable | Mid-range |
What drives the number Season moves price more than anything else — Christmas, New Year and the festival weeks carry a substantial premium, and the shoulder months are materially cheaper for the same route. Heritage and palace properties are the other main variable: India’s top hotels compete internationally on price, and a single night in one can equal three in a good mid-range hotel. We quote each journey individually rather than from a fixed price list, because the same itinerary changes cost significantly with the dates.
India has no single best season
The reliable window for Delhi, Rajasthan, Agra, Varanasi, the temple south and the beaches. Dry, clear and warm by day, genuinely cold in the north in December and January. This is also peak pricing and peak crowding, and Christmas–New Year books out months ahead.
The plains become severe — 40–45°C is normal — and this is precisely when the mountains are at their best. Ladakh, Spiti, Sikkim and the Uttarakhand valleys are accessible, roads are open and passes are clear. The hill stations exist because of this season.
The rain arrives in Kerala around the start of June and moves north over six weeks. Most travellers avoid it; some should seek it. Kerala’s Ayurvedic season is deliberately monsoon, the Western Ghats are at their greenest, and Ladakh sits in the rain shadow and stays dry. Coastal Goa and the hills are the places to avoid.
Diwali (Oct/Nov), Holi (Mar), Pushkar Camel Fair (Nov) and Durga Puja in Kolkata (Sep/Oct) move by the lunar calendar each year. They are extraordinary to witness and they distort availability and price for weeks around them. Decide early whether you are travelling for a festival or around one.
Planning India with us
Researched, not resold
Every destination we offer is researched and vetted by our team before we recommend it.
Quoted in writing
Every journey is quoted individually and in writing before you commit, so you know what is included before you decide.
Designed around you
Each journey is a starting point. Dates, pace, stays and routing are reworked around how you actually want to travel.
Do you need a visa or a permit?
Carry original government photo ID for every traveller including children: hotels are required to record it, domestic airlines will not board without it, and permit checkposts ask for the original rather than a photograph. Everything else below is geographic — parts of the Northeast, the high-altitude belt, both island groups and the national parks are permit-controlled, for conservation or because they sit near an international border.
How far ahead Inner Line Permits are days rather than weeks and several states issue them online. Ladakh and Sikkim high-altitude permits are arranged locally, typically the day before. Lakshadweep and Andaman island travel need longer and should be started before you book flights. Safari slots are the real constraint — at the popular reserves in peak season they are taken months ahead.
