Travel guide

As the world leader in travel experiences since 1947, we connect you to the real India in a way like no other. A place that dazzles with color and chaos, India takes visitors on a journey of soul-stirring encounters, a trip to these lands will stay in your heart and mind for years to come. We'll manoeuvre through sari lined streets, gaze upon the majestic white tomb of the Taj Mahal and go behind-the-scenes of Mumbai's elegant Bollywood film industry. Diversity is a fundamental truth here, with the setting switching from barren tiger forest to snow-capped saffron mountains and maddening city on a single train line. Together we'll encounter a royal history in Rajasthan and preserved Haveli homes in New Delhi, appreciating a way of life and addictive cuisine along the way. Though many will warn of grit and density that overwhelms, breathtaking moments and spellbinding chance encounters will make it all worthwhile. Travel with us and unlock the infinite possibilities thanks to our exclusive Trafalgar Highlights.

Our top 5 things to do in India

Let Trafalgar guide your India vacation through a majestic tapestry of landmarks and experience. From the Taj Mahal to the tiger parks of Rajasthan, these are just some of the soul-stirring moments waiting when you travel with us.

Best museums in India

Step off the streets and find a moment of quiet in a spellbinding museum. Here are just a few of the places we will visit in India to peel back the many layers of culture.

Best food in India

Despite the many famous dishes that have journeyed far from the lands of India, this country still has culinary delights that will rouse your tastebuds. From warm bread to fragrant curries, we'll guide you through the secrets of this spicy land.

What to pack for India

Pack for sustainable travel

Consider your environmental impact when you next take a trip and go single-use-plastic-free by packing a reusable water bottle, a steel straw, your own shopping bags and reusable toiletry bottles.

Light and modest clothing

Though India does get cooler than most expect, many parts of the year are intensely hot. Pack sheer, light clothing that covers you right to the ankles, wrists and neck so that you can respectfully visit religious sites without sweltering.

Water purification devices

The purification of water has come a long way in recent years. Make your way to a specialist travel shop to discuss bottles, gadgets and tablets that will ensure you stay hydrated without falling ill.

A few good books

The Indian rail network chuffs for 65,000 kilometers around India. A geographically large company with relatively slow transport systems, a few books can keep you entertained between admiring scenery.

Medication for stomach upsets

Though our India group tours will see you largely protected from unsanitary food or water, it is still handy to keep a supply of medication on hand. Charcoal tablets can be taken daily as a preventive measure to ensure any nasties are quickly expelled from your system.

Wet wipes and hand sanitiser

True to its reputation, India can be a hot and messy place. Pack wet wipes and hand sanitiser to ensure you feel fresh when you're on the go.

Other things to know before you go

Depending on your nationality, you'll need a valid passport and may also need visas to enter. Please check this on our Frequently Asked Questions page, well in advance of your trip departure date. Some countries also require passports to have 3-6 months left on them before the given expiry date, so be sure to double check this before booking your travels.
