Thank you so much for all the help and expertise you gave us in organising a great holiday. I thought of writing you a feedback while it is all still fresh in my memory. We had a truly wonderful experience this time,I must say better than last time. It really helped that we stayed in good hotels and had best room choice. The highlights in chronological order would be: Kochin sightseeing of Jew Town, Old Synagogue and Chinese nets, House Boat, Rubber plantation and lunch with the wonderful host couple. Jungle trek in Thekkady and our time in Taj Green.

India Holidays
The peak season is from October to March when the weather is cool and dry across most of the country. If you want to visit the Himalayas, April to June is ideal. For those seeking lush landscapes and lower prices, the monsoon season (July to September) offers a unique “Monsoon Magic” experience.
While there are no mandatory vaccines for most travelers, it is highly recommended to be up-to-date on Hepatitis A, Typhoid, and Tetanus. Always consult a travel clinic at least 6–8 weeks before your trip. To avoid “Delhi Belly,” stick to bottled water and eat at busy, well-reviewed establishments.
Yes! For tiger safaris, head to Ranthambore (Rajasthan) or Kanha (Madhya Pradesh). If you prefer mountains, Ladakh and Sikkim offer breathtaking Himalayan views. For serene waterscapes, the backwaters of Kerala are a must.
India is arguably the best country in the world for vegetarians and vegans. A large portion of the population is vegetarian, and “Pure Veg” restaurants are everywhere. Plant-based milk and vegan options are also increasingly common in major cities like Mumbai and Bangalore.
English is widely spoken in tourist areas, major cities, and by professionals in the hospitality and transport sectors. While Hindi is the official language in the north and various regional languages dominate the south, you will rarely face a total communication barrier.
Booking a professional travel agency is the superior choice for India. They handle complex logistics, provide vetted luxury transport, and offer 24/7 support. Instead of navigating chaotic bookings alone, you enjoy expert-guided, “insider” access to hidden gems, ensuring a stress-free, safe, and culturally enriched holiday where every detail is managed.
Generally, yes. Major tourist circuits like the Golden Triangle and Kerala are well-established and safe.
The Golden Triangle is India’s most famous tourist circuit, connecting Delhi, Agra (home of the Taj Mahal), and Jaipur. It’s the perfect introduction for first-time visitors, offering a dense concentration of history, architecture, and culture within a 7–10 day timeframe.
Modesty is key, especially when visiting religious sites. Both men and women should keep their shoulders and knees covered. Carrying a light shawl is helpful for women to cover their heads or shoulders when required.
If you love color, plan for Holi (usually in March). For the “Festival of Lights,” visit during Diwali (October/November). Be aware that during these times, transport and hotels book up months in advance, and prices may spike.
In cities and at major hotels/restaurants, credit cards are widely accepted. However, for markets, small cafes, and rural areas, cash (Indian Rupees) is still king. ATMs are reliable in cities but can be scarce in remote villages.
