India itineraries
Routes that actually work on the ground
Each itinerary is paced for real travel days, not map distances — with train-versus-car advice, the right season and indicative costs. Every one can be adjusted to your dates.
7 days · Balanced pace
Golden Triangle in 7 days
Delhi, Agra and Jaipur at a pace that leaves room for bazaars and workshops rather than a monument conveyor belt.
Best: October to March
10 days · Balanced pace
India in 10 days: north plus a Himalayan finish
The classic monuments first, then a change of altitude and air in the Himalayan foothills before flying home.
Best: March to June, September to November
10 days · Relaxed pace
Kerala in 10 days: hills, backwaters and coast
Fort Kochi, the cardamom hills, a night on the backwaters and time by the sea — the gentlest introduction to India there is.
Best: October to March
14 days · Full pace
Rajasthan in 14 days
The full desert circuit — Jaipur, Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Udaipur — with enough nights per city to actually see them.
Best: October to March
14 days · Balanced pace
South India in 14 days
Temples, ruins, hill country and coast — Chennai and the Tamil temple towns, Hampi's boulder landscape, and a Keralan finish.
Best: November to March
21 days · Full pace
India in 21 days: north, south and the Himalaya
Three weeks is enough to do India properly once: the monuments, the desert, a Himalayan stretch and a Keralan decompression.
