Independent India tours - a world of smiles


Independent India Tours

India online allows you to create your own Independent India tours by combining a series of bite-sized trips called 'modules'. Strung together, these modules will form a longer itinerary to create your unique experience to India. You can select modules from northern, north eastern, north western and southern India, as well as Goa and the Maldives. This means that you can cover as much ground as you wish during your trip. 

Our Independent India tours offer a unique and unforgettable Indian experience. Do you dream of sleeping in a maharaja’s palace, a traditional clay hut, a Rajput castle, a tree house in the jungle, or a tent in the desert? Well, now’s your chance. You’ll travel by an interesting mix of nostalgic Ambassador car, minibus, local train, jeep, rowing boat or even on a camel.  

India is a vast country and deciding where to go can be a tricky matter. If you need some inspiration, take a quick look at our suggested independent India itineraries. Equally, our experienced travel specialists will be more than happy help you build your independent India holiday, so feel free to call or email us or add the modules that catch your eye to our quote request form.



North India Tours: Rajasthan, the Taj Mahal and Varanasi

Independent India tours through Rajasthan 

We offer a wide range of Independent India tours in Rajasthan where you could easily spend several holidays here without ever seeing the same thing twice. During your independent India tours through Rajasthan, you can sleep in a real maharaja’s palace, spot wild tigers in Ranthambore national park, watch pilgrims from all walks of life perform ritual bathing in the Ganges, and plod through rolling desert dunes on a dopey camel in Jaisalmer.

Of course, that is not all. No independent India tours are complete without a trip to the Taj Mahal and no photograph or postcard can match the feeling of seeing it with your own eyes.

South India Tours: Temples, Beaches and Backwaters
 

Independent India tours through southern India and the Maldives

Southern India stands in complete contrast to the deserts of Rajasthan and the snowy-peaks of the Himalayas. Here, you can enjoy laid back Independent India tours to tropical palm-fringed beaches, emerald paddy fields and sparkling narrow waterways. However, there is more to a Southern India tour than the landscape. Just like anywhere in India, a dose of fascinating culture is always close at hand. In the south, you’ll find spectacular temples and ancient towns touched by magic. During our Southern independent India tours, you can fall under the spell of enchanting Hampi, sample sultry backwater life in Kerala, and cycle through the spice hills of the south. Of course, at some point you might want to collapse on a beach, and there are plenty of possibilities for stretching out in the sunshine in India.

Goa Holidays: Coconut Palms and Colonial Mansions

Independent India tours through Goa

Goa is a tiny, exotic, beach-lined state on the west coast on India that looks out over the Indian ocean. Discovered by peace-loving hippies looking for a third-world paradise, Goa is a legendary beach destination filled with palm trees, golden shores, coconuts, cows and some of the most delicious local food in the world. It is a great place to unwind after one of your active independent India tours. We offer a selection of independent India tours in Goa, so whatever your idea of beach bliss, we'll have something to fit the bill. Choose from deluxe tents on a quiet beach, exclusive beach villas, eco-huts in the far south and laid-back local beach resorts. Of course, you don't have to head to the beach at all. Instead, you could immerse yourself in colonial bygone Goa.

Further north you will find another world filled with Tibetan monks, prayers flags, snow-capped mountains and the city of Dharamsala, the residence of the exiled Dalai Lama.

If you’re looking for adventurous independent India tours, you can continue to Ladakh, where you’ll be surrounded by towering white peaks. Twisting higher and higher into the Himalayas, you’ll find yourself amid a deserted moonscape that will make you feel like the only person in the world.

Tea plantations, Mountain Monasteries and Temple Treks

Independent India tours through north-east India

In the northeast of India, there is a region full of green hills, tea plantations, meadows and fast-flowing rivers meandering through forests. This is the mountain state of Sikkim, nestled between Nepal, Bhutan and Tibet in the heart of the Himalayas. Due to its position, it is a very multicultural area which is home to a large number of Tibetan monks as well as many more with a strong Bhutanese influence. Our North East independent India tours will take you to Tibetan monasteries perched on top of hills and hidden amongst the pine trees, with spectacular views of some of the highest mountain peaks in the world. Sikkim lies at a lower altitude than Ladakh in the north western hills. As a result, it is greener, more accessible, and an absolute paradise for orchid lovers.
