Luxury India Holidays 2024/2025

The best time to go on holiday to India is from October to March when the weather tends to be warmer and drier – without being too hot. However, it’s important to note that during December and January, certain regions like Rajasthan will experience cooler weather and increased chances of fog.

For shoulder seasons and excellent value for money, April to May is an excellent time to visit, although humidity increases along with the chance for thunderstorms.

If you’re determined to travel between June through September, we recommend keeping to the foothills of the Himalayas, avoiding the monsoon season currently happening in India’s other regions.

India is primarily a culture-focused holiday, so expect a lot of historical buildings and markets, incredible food tours and native wildlife.

Get involved in traditional ceremonies, explore cities on privately guided walking tours, and hike India’s countryside while immersing yourself in village life. These are just a few of the activities you can expect to do on a luxury holiday in India.

Depending on where you are travelling between, we recommend transferring by private car, train (if the route allows) or internal flights.

For our guests who are travelling around Rajasthan, we usually arrange everything overland so they keep the same driver and just pick up different guides in each location. To get a glimpse at how it works, this itinerary is all overland until the final stop where we would then fly guests back to Delhi to fly back to their home destination.

Luxury India holidays are suitable for families, but ideally for those with older children. Not only are the tours here more culturally focused - meaning less to keep little ones engaged - but the cuisine and accommodation aren’t necessarily set up to support the travel of young or infant children.

That said, India holidays make for some of the most memorable family trips. With a culture so vibrant and unique, it’s one of those destinations that will have you and your loved ones gawking in awe at all that surrounds you, and eagerly talking late into the night about what’s to come.

Absolutely! Our travel specialists are always on hand to create your perfect honeymoon in India.
