Where to begin when describing the wonders of India?

A vast land that has everything from icy mountain tops to arid desert. India is a country rich with history, culture, and some of the best street food in the world, making a visit to the subcontinent is so much more than your average trip abroad. Whether you’re a beach lover looking for paradise on our Kerala tour, a wannabe wildlife expert searching out the Bengal Tiger, or even pining to live in the lap of luxury for a while, you’ll find what you want in this incredible landmass.

With a Newmarket Holiday's escorted tour of India you’ll be able to see much of what this truly unique country has to offer, although even with our expert guides and years of experience, you’ll only be able to experience some of what makes India so special. With that said, there’s no doubt that once you’ve had a taste of the subcontinent you’ll be itching to come back.

On your India holiday you can explore the magnificent Taj Mahal and Amber Fort, and trek through some of the world’s wildest national parks. India is great for solo travellers and groups alike too, with local guides able to shepherd you through South India and the backwaters of gorgeous Kerala, and teach you all about the holy River Ganges. There truly is nothing like India, and once you visit, you’ll see why.

Top things to know before you visit India
