Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Discover Delhi, both new and old, with a guided walking tour of its historic walled heart and a rickshaw ride through the Chandni Chowk marketplace.
With plenty of time to explore Mumbai at your own pace, why not delve into the incredible heritage quarter, check out the circus-like Chowpatty Beach, or find a chai wallah for a spot of tea – it’s up to you!
Witness the one and only Taj Mahal. Seeing this Mughal marvel for the first time, in all its dazzling white marble, is a moment you won’t forget.
Goa may be a golden-sand beauty, but there’s more to life here than simply chilling by the beach – you could opt to tour an organic spice farm and gorge on a sumptuously spiced Goan feast instead.
Jaipur and Udaipur are two of India’s most delightful destinations. Take the time to stroll the enchanting and very different streets of these colourful centres with your small group.
Is this trip right for you?
It’s important to prepare for hot, sticky temperatures during the day and cooler climates in the evening. Light layers are the best way to tackle this disparity in weather. Please also ensure you use adequate sun protection and drink plenty of water.
We visit several temples on this trip, which requires a certain level of modesty. Please bring clothes that cover the arms and pants/skirts that go past the knees. A light scarf is also a good idea for covering shoulders and arms when it’s hot.
This trip involves some long overnight train journeys, including a 9 hour overnight train to Goa. While these train journeys can be tiring, it's also a great opportunity to get to know your fellow travellers a little better and travel like a local. For security, you might want to take a lock for your hand luggage. Read more about what to expect on an overnight train https://www.tuuur.com/adventures/india-trains-guide/ https://www.tuuur.com/adventures/india-trains-guide/ (https://www.tuuur.com/adventures/india-trains-guide/)
You will also be travelling by local bus on this trip. While conditions are basic, this is a chance to enjoy the passing scenery.
There is plenty of free time for your optional activities on this trip, so please make sure you budget for things you may like to do during your spare time.
We've sourced our accommodation carefully and picked the best possible hotels in line with the Tuuur style of travel. Service and accommodation in India may be different from western standards.

The perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. An unforgettable experience through India with Intrepid. Abhi made what could have otherwise been a really chaotic trip, very seamless. A very well-organised and authentic experience and every city offered something new.

I have done the route from New Delhi to Goa and the tour with Abhi was simply brilliant! This tour gives you a fantastic insight into this incredibly big country and you will definitely learn to love it. Abhi is a very attentive person and has a wonderful instinct for people. Especially for me as a young and solo travelling lady, he always made a special focus on making sure that I feel totally safe at any time. You can simply see the passion that Abhi has for bringing travellers closer to his home country in a very special way. I am very grateful to Abhi for this incredibly great time and tour and I would immediately go on another tour through India with him!
