Useful information for planning your holiday in South India

The best time to visit India depends on the region. Generally, October to March offers the most pleasant weather across most of the country. North India is ideal in winter (Oct–Mar), while South India is best from November to February. The Himalayan regions are best visited from April to June and September to October.

The best time to visit is from October to March when the weather is pleasant with daytime temperatures between 20–25°C. Avoid the summer months (April–June) when temperatures can exceed 40°C, and the monsoon season (July–September) which brings heavy rainfall.

Yes, most international travellers need a visa to enter India. Many nationalities can apply for an e-Visa online, which is available for tourism purposes for stays up to 30, 60, or 90 days. We recommend applying at least 4 weeks before your departure. Our team can guide you through the process.

Absolutely! The Golden Triangle is one of the most family-friendly tours in India. The itinerary is not too strenuous, and children love the elephant rides at Amber Fort, the rickshaw ride in Old Delhi, and the grandeur of the Taj Mahal. We can also customise the pace for families with young children.

India is generally safe for tourists, especially when travelling with a reputable tour operator. Our tours include experienced local guides, trusted drivers, and carefully vetted accommodations. We provide comprehensive travel safety briefings and 24/7 support throughout your journey.

The tour price includes 6 nights accommodation in handpicked hotels, daily breakfast, private air-conditioned car with driver, English-speaking guide at all monuments, all monument entry fees, and airport transfers.

Recommended vaccinations include Hepatitis A and B, Typhoid, and routine vaccinations. Depending on the regions you visit, malaria prophylaxis may also be advised. We recommend consulting your GP or a travel health clinic at least 6–8 weeks before departure for personalised advice.

Moderate walking is involved at the monument sites — typically 1–2 hours per monument. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended. The Amber Fort offers a jeep ride up to the entrance, and rickshaws are used for the Old Delhi exploration. All transfers between cities are by private car.

Pack lightweight, breathable clothing for warm weather, and a warm layer for cooler evenings and hill stations. Modest clothing is recommended for temple visits (covering shoulders and knees). Comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, insect repellent, and a good hat are essentials. We provide a detailed packing list with your booking confirmation.
