Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to what most travellers ask before booking. For anything specific to a circuit, see that tour's own FAQ section, or just get in touch.

Do I need a visa to visit India?

Most nationalities need an e-Visa, arranged online before travel and typically approved within a few days. Requirements vary by passport, so we recommend checking your country's requirements as soon as your dates are set.

Is India safe for tourists?

Millions of international visitors travel through India's tourist circuits every year without incident. As anywhere, sensible precautions apply — we brief every traveller on local conditions and stay reachable throughout your trip.

What's the best time of year to visit?

October through March is the most comfortable window for most of the country — cooler and drier. Mountain regions like Ladakh and Kashmir flip this, with June to September being their accessible season. Each tour page lists its specific best season.

How do payments and deposits work?

We typically ask for a deposit to confirm bookings (hotels and permits are held in advance), with the balance due before travel. Full terms are on our Terms & Conditions page.

Can tours be customised?

Yes — every itinerary on this site is a starting point. We regularly combine circuits, adjust pacing, swap hotels, or build entirely custom multi-region routes.

What's included in the price?

Typically: private car and driver, accommodation, English-speaking guides where relevant, and permits. Flights, meals outside what's specified, and personal expenses are usually excluded — we confirm exact inclusions in your custom itinerary.

How far in advance should I book?

4–6 weeks is comfortable for most circuits. Peak-season travel (Oct–Mar) and permit-heavy routes like Ladakh or the Char Dham Yatra benefit from booking 2–3 months ahead.

What currency should I bring?

The Indian Rupee (INR) is the only accepted currency for most local transactions. ATMs are widely available in cities and tourist towns; we recommend carrying some cash for smaller towns and rural stops.

Can I combine tours from different regions?

Yes, this is one of our most common requests — see any tour page for a 'You Might Also Like' section, or just tell us your full wish list and we'll build a combined route.

What happens if I need to cancel?

Cancellation terms depend on how close to departure you cancel, since hotels and permits are booked in advance. Full details are on our Terms & Conditions page — contact us directly for your specific booking.
