India Tours & Vacations
There’s probably no other country on the planet that blazes its way into your memory like India.
Years later, you can still hear the morning calls of the chai wallahs; see smoke curling over the Ganges during a golden Varanasi sunrise , and smell the rich aromas of simmering curry. A lot of India tours rush from highlight to highlight, ticking them off in a blur of temples and tikka. But not us. Our India holidays are more about spotting Bengal tigers in Ranthambhore or Panna National Park, hanging with nomads in Jaisalmer, meeting the holy men of Pushkar, or hunting down the best street eats. This isn’t just the India you see on postcards. This is India as it is. Raw, bizarre and totally addictive.

Best time to visit india.
Due to India's size and topography, the climate varies from place to place but the best time to visit, generally speaking, is in the winter from December until early March. During the coolest months (December-January), temperatures can get quite cold in Delhi and in the north, especially at night. The whole country tends to get very hot from April onwards and most regions experience the summer from late May to around October. The summer offers hot and humid conditions, although this is considered one of the best times to visit Ladakh and the hills.

Culture and customs
India is one of the world’s oldest civilizations with a culture steeped in ancient beliefs and traditions. Religion also plays a massive role in everyday life with 80% of the population practicing Hinduism while the remaining 20% is divided into Muslim (India has the world’s second-largest Muslim population), Christian, Sikhism and Buddhist populations.
At its core, India remains a deeply conservative nation; however, it has been touched by rapid modernization and Western influences in recent years. Some families still adhere to a traditional structure (especially in more rural areas) with generations living under the same roof, the eldest male at the head of the family and arranged marriages. But this is becoming less and less popular, particularly in larger cities, where Western ideas and societal shifts heavily influence the culture due to things like Bollywood films.
While some behavioral standards remain the same (public displays of affection are still taboo), it’s important to keep in mind that with more than one billion people speaking over 122 languages across 28 states and seven territories, it’s impossible to describe one unified culture for the entire nations and the character of India’s people can vary greatly from city to city.
Witness India's multi-faceted culture firsthand on a Delhi to Goa adventure - 15 days
Top places to visit in India
Surely there isn't a more iconic image of India than the Taj Mahal. It's spectacular and soul-stirring, but words simply aren't enough to describe the beauty of this immense mausoleum (even when it's packed with tourists). Best known as a monument to love and loss, the 17th-century building was built by Emperor Shah Jahan as a tomb for his second wife – a bold declaration of love, indeed!
2. Udaipur, Rajasthan
Welcome to Udaipur, India's most romantic city that could easily give Venice a run for its money. You'll undoubtedly fall in love as you explore its grand marble palaces, shimmering lakes, and winding alleys filled with cozy chai bars and dizzying bazaars. It's also a popular hub for Indian artists, dancers, and musicians whose talents will pull you deeper under Udaipur's spell.
3. Ranthambhore National Park
Ranthambhore National Park was once a famous hunting ground for the Maharajas of Jaipur, but these days it's a haven for wildlife. Jump into a 4WD and search for Bengal tigers, hyenas, jackals, deer, langurs, marsh crocodiles and more. You can also hike up to the stunning ruins of the 10th-century fort or experience the peace and tranquillity of the ancient Ganesh temple (one of the oldest temples in India).
4. Kerala Backwaters
Surrounded by tea and coffee plantations and connected by a series of blissful, palm-shaded backwaters, Kerala is a peaceful oasis deep within India's colorful chaos. Float along the dreamy waters of rural Kerala on a houseboat, paddle over to an island village on a pole boat for an overnight homestay with a local family, and enjoy traditional Keralan food served on a banana leaf.
5. Varanasi
Varanasi is a place that will be etched in your memory long after your time in India is over. Uncover the stories and secrets of this holy city with your local guide, get lost in the laneways, cruise along the golden Ganges at dawn, or witness ancient religious traditions and groups of pilgrims praying in the river. Even if all you do in Varanasi is sit along the ghats and watch life go by, you'll walk away with countless stories to tell.
This holy, desert city is one of the main pilgrimage destinations for Hindus. Explore the bustling ghats and temples around Pushkar Lake, watch devout rituals and worship at the Brahma Temple, share a meal with a local family while learning about their life and culture, or hike up the hill to the beautiful Savitri Temple for unbeatable sunrise views over the town.
Get ready for delicious bites and lots of Bollywood. Some say Mumbai is the food capital of India, and you'll see, smell and taste huge culinary diversity here that celebrates regional cuisines from across the country. You might also like to watch life go by at Dhobi Ghat (the world’s largest outdoor laundry), check out the Bollywood Walk of Fame, or explore the sprawling Crawford Market selling everything from fruit to jewelry.
8. Dharamsala
The mountainous Himalayan town of Dharamsala, also known as McLeod Ganj, is home to the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government in exile. Tibetan culture is central to life here and it won't take long for the town's calming, grounding energy to wash over you. Sip chai and watch robed monks strolling between the monasteries, listen to the prayer flags fluttering in the breeze, and visit the Dalai Lama’s temple.
9. Rishikesh
Not only is Rishikesh the yoga capital of the world, but it's also one of the best places to experience the sacred soul of the Ganges. Join a yoga or meditation class along the riverbanks, enjoy delicious vegetarian food in one of the many rooftop cafes, go white-water rafting down the Ganges for a different perspective of this holy river, or experience the nightly fire ritual known as Ganga Aarti at one of the city's dazzling temples.
Tinged with Portuguese influence (and flavors!), the state of Goa boasts lovely beaches, rich traditions, World Heritage-listed buildings, and mouth-watering food. Kick back with a coconut (or cocktail), join a yoga class on the beach, visit a local spice farm to learn about some of the essential ingredients in Indian cuisine, or pick up fresh ingredients at the market and cook up a storm with a local Goan cook.
The gorgeous pink stone buildings in Jaipur’s old town have earned the city its 'Pink City' nickname. Discover buzzing bazaars filled with handcrafted textiles and jewelry, dodge camel carts and rickshaws as you stroll through the streets, explore the oh-so-impressive Amber Fort, or visit the home of a local Brahmin family to learn about their culture and way of life over a delicious homemade meal.
Home to the magnificent Mysore Palace and the birthplace of Ashtanga yoga, there's no denying Mysore is one of South India's most captivating cities. Lose yourself in the grandeur of the palace's ornately decorated rooms, marvel at the intricate Hoysala architecture of Keshava Temple, go on a hunt for the tastiest idli, or share a tasty biryani lunch with a local family.
Delhi is a place where ancient temples stand beside Bollywood billboard ads, people commute to work alongside sacred cows and monkeys, and pockets of peace exist within the chaos. The electric energy of India's capital city is palpable, and while it can take some getting used to, there's no denying the excitement of discovering new sights, sounds, tastes and smells at every turn – especially when you have a local leader by your side.
14. Thar Desert, Rajasthan
Check another item off your bucket list as you travel across the pristine dunes of the Thar Desert on camelback, stopping at a few dhanis (small villages) along the way. When you reach your camp, enjoy dinner in the relaxing desert ambiance before sleeping in a comfy permanent tent under the stars. This desert safari is bound to be one of the main highlights of your adventure.
Food and drink
Intrepid believes that one of the best ways to experience a country is by eating. Whether you're sampling street food, savoring a cheap eat or indulging in a banquet, there are endless options to choose from wherever you are in the world. Indian food is one of the world's most favored cuisines, and travelers will be in for a real treat when visiting India. Relying heavily on spices and vegetables, vegetarians will be delighted with the multitude of meat-free dishes available and visitors will be able to notice marked differences in the cuisines of each region.

Geography and environment
India shares land borders with Bangladesh , China , Pakistan, Nepal , Myanmar and Bhutan , and also has wide stretches of coastline along the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal and Indian Ocean. As the seventh largest country in the world, India is home to a variety of terrains - the Himalayas of the north, the deserts and plains of the west, the fertile waterways of the south and the hills and forests of the east. Development is occurring at a rapid pace, with India's large, sprawling cities consisting of everything from five star hotels to shanty towns, and with modern malls and cinemas sitting comfortably alongside bazaars and street food vendors. A trip through India will reveal a diverse range of landscapes, villages, cities and environments.
History and government
Early history.
Humans have inhabited India for as long as 75,000 years, with early civilizations flourishing as early as 3300 BC. Over the centuries, India both influenced and was influenced by other nations and kingdoms, with far-reaching trade, conquest and migration spreading the subcontinent's culture far and wide. Empires rose and fell over the centuries, with the wealthy Mughal Dynasty ruling most of India by 1600. At the same time, different European nations started showing an interest in India after being brought to the area for trade. The Portuguese, Dutch, British and French all had vested interests in India, with the British East India Company being given the rights to trade in India in 1617. The 1857 rebellion and War of Independence culminated in the decline of Mughal rule and were considered the first movements against the British Raj's heavy-handed rule of the country.
Recent history
By the 1920s, India's independence movement had grown considerably with Mohandas Gandhi leading mass movements based on passive resistance and non-cooperation against the British Raj. Although it took decades, India finally gained independence in 1947. More recently, India has seen dramatic societal changes mainly due to modernization and globalization. A new wave of prosperity has seen the rise of the middle class, with men and women entering into new work roles in telecommunications, manufacturing and business. India's large cities are dealing with the mass migration of rural citizens, who are moving to the city to seek better employment, education and opportunities for their children.
Top 10 sensory experiences of India
1. potent pleasures.
Breathe in the intoxicating aroma of fresh spices while wandering through the bustling markets of India. Cardamom, coriander, cinnamon and nutmeg are classic spices of the subcontinent and aren't hard to find - the fresh scent envelopes markets across the country.
2. Fiery flavours
Treat your tastebuds to the spicy flavors of India with a traditional aromatic curry. Indulge in the heady mix of coconut milk, chili, ginger, ghee and spices, then cool down by sipping on a refreshing Lassi - the perfect antidote to the unrelenting heat of an Indian curry.
3. Colourful chaos
Experience the urban cacophony of Delhi - a unique collision of cultures, cattle and people. Hear the rumble of cars, trucks and buses, the frantic calls of street vendors and hawkers, the sizzle of food and the rustic ring of a cow's bell in this unforgettable and irrepressible city.
4. In the pink
Admire the dazzling pink hues of Jaipur. Watch the historic palaces, forts, temples and monuments of the 'Pink City' be bathed in a dusky pink glow as the golden sun sets over the dramatic Aravalli Range.
5. Rat race
Walk barefoot through the Karni Mata Temple as thousands of rats scamper across the marble floor. Just felt a furry rodent scurry over your feet? Fear not - it's a sign of good luck in this unique rat-worshipping temple.
6. Instant karma
Experience the multi-sensory wonder of an Aarti ceremony on the banks of the Ganges. Hear the clanging of bells, watch the luminous glow of fire, smell wafts of pungent incense and hear rousing devotional songs and mantras. Be immersed in the fire and prayer of this Hindu ritual and be changed forever.
7. Gorgeous Goa
Sit beachside in Goa and gaze into the sublime beauty of the ocean. Take a moment to kick back and soak up the clear skies and deep blue sea of this exotic island. Watch the sun's rays shimmer on the horizon and bask in the golden glow of this balmy retreat.
8. Silky sophistication
For a slice of extravagance, feel the soft, luxurious touch of traditional Indian silk. Made in a variety of vibrant colors and perfect for making everything from saris to prayer mats and decorative hangings to upholstery, the inimitable feel of finely crafted silk is a simple pleasure in life.
9. Answered prayers
Hear the flutter of prayer flags as they flap in the wind near the isolated monasteries of Dharamsala. In a stark environment of rugged, mountainous landscapes, quietness permeates the air, except for the unique sound of prayer flags collecting prayers and sending them to the heavens above.
10. Big screen brilliance
Be treated to a feast for the senses at a bombastic Bollywood movie screening. Covet the glamorous costumes, marvel at the energetic choreography and delight in the lively music. Revel in the razzle-dazzle of the whole spectacle and be swept away by the irresistible charm of India's triumphant cinematic phenomenon.
India's fragrant bazaars, modern boutiques and village markets are brimming with wares harnessing centuries of artistic traditions. With talented artisans and top quality items at low prices, India is a shopper's paradise. It's a good idea to check with your local customs officials to ensure that you are able to bring certain items back into your home country. Australia and New Zealand generally have strict quarantine laws.
Things to buy in India
From big, chunky ornate silver earrings to vibrant bangles and bold statement rings, India's silversmiths and jewelry makers ensure there are lots of pieces to choose from in the bazaars and shops.
2. Wraps, scarves and shawls
Whether you're looking for pricey pashmina, luxurious silk or colorful cotton, India has a huge variety of materials to wrap yourself in.
If you're lucky enough to be able to bring tea into your home country, then pick up some of the world's finest tea from the Darjeeling, Assam or Nilgiri regions.
Indian cotton sheets, embroidered bedspreads and colorful cushion covers can be picked up in bazaars at a fraction of the price paid elsewhere.
Many shops are open between 9 am and 7 pm, Monday through Saturday, though hours can vary at bazaars. Most shops are closed on Sunday.
Festivals and events
Many of India’s biggest festivals are religious and follow either the Indian lunar calendar or the Islamic calendar. The dates may change each year, but the fervor of celebration never does. Some of the best and biggest festivals to keep an eye out for in India are:
Holi (Festival of Colour)
Take a whole lot of colored powder and water, add thousands of happy people not afraid to get a little (or a lot) dirty and you have Holi – a technicolor Hindu celebration that marks the beginning of spring and the triumph of good over evil. Celebrations take place across India in either February or March.
Diwali (Festival of Lights)
India’s biggest festival – meaning ‘rows of lighted lamps’, people decorate their homes with colorful lights, candles are lit and firework displays take place across the country. The celebrations are particularly spectacular in Varanasi, where illuminated candles and earthen lamps are floated down the Ganges River as fireworks light up the sky. This five-day festival takes place every October or November.
Gujarat Kite Festival
Large, colorful and unusual kites flood the skies of Gujarat each January to commemorate the start of summer and the beginning of harvest. Purchase your own at Patang Bazaar, a famous kite market, or just watch the others dance through the sky.
Mumbai Ganesh Festival
The birth of the elephant-headed god, Ganesh, is celebrated for 10-days each August or September in cities across India, but Mumbai takes it to another level. An incredible energy can be felt throughout the city as people pack the streets for a massive party and an elaborate statue of Ganesh is paraded around.
Pushkar Camel Fair
Thousands of camels (and their owners dressed in their finest garb) descend upon Rajasthan's Pushkar for the annual camel fair. Camels are traded and raced, acrobats and performers entertain crowds at a nearby fair, while finely dressed males and bejeweled females take the chance to let their hair down.

While traveling through India, on a tour or otherwise, it’s expected one would tip porters, drivers, restaurant staff and other service workers given the low wages they earn.
What is the internet access like in India?
Internet access is generally very good in India, with most cafes, restaurants and accommodations offering free wi-fi, even in the more rural areas. There is also good phone coverage for data use if you choose to purchase a local SIM card to stay connected for the duration of your India tour.
If you do wish to purchase a local SIM in India, make sure your phone has been unlocked before your tour begins. There are quite a number of carriers that are all very competitive, but Airtel is probably the best option for travelers. You’ll need to a copy of your passport and visa to pick up a SIM, and the process can sometimes be a hassle, but rates in India are very affordable given the competition.

Yes, you’ll be able to use your cell phone while on an India tour, but only if you have activated global roaming or purchased a local SIM card.
What are the toilets like in India?
Squat toilets are the most common toilets in India. Always carry your own toilet paper and soap or hand sanitizer, as they are usually not provided. Flushable, Western-style toilets can be found in up-market restaurants, some higher-end hotels and in some tourist areas.

- Meal in a tourist restaurant = INR 350-600
Can I drink the tap water in India?
India is notorious among travelers for sickness – we’ve all heard horror stories about Delhi belly. We do not recommend ever drinking tap water in India, and travelers should avoid drinks with ice and foods that haven’t been cooked or peeled. Salad is off the menu for now – let your inner child rejoice!
Are credit cards widely accepted in India?
Credit cards are being accepted in an increasing number of cafes, shops, restaurants and hotels in India, with Mastercard and Visa being the most common. That said, cash is still king, especially outside of cities like Kolkata, Delhi and Mumbai.

Is India safe for LGBTQIA+ travelers?
The majority of Indian society is still conservative, and while most travelers will have a welcoming and hospitable experience, discretion is still advised for LGBTQIA+ travelers, particularly in more remote towns and villages which may be more conservative. The same advice is also given to heterosexual couples (and couples of all other sexual orientations) as public displays of affection other than hugging and holding hands are generally frowned upon.
For more detailed and up-to-date advice, we recommend visiting Equaldex or ILGA before you travel.
Is India accessible for travelers with disabilities?
Intrepid is committed to making travel widely accessible, regardless of ability or disability. That’s why we do our best to help as many people see the world as possible, regardless of any physical or mental limitations they might have. We’re always happy to talk to travelers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them towards the most suitable itinerary for their needs and, where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.
As a general rule, knowing some common words in the local language, carrying a written itinerary with you and taking to the streets in a group, rather than solo, can help make your travel experience the best it can be.
What to wear in India
What you decide to pack and wear in India will depend on where you are and what time of year it is. The weather across India usually follows the monsoon cycle, so it’s quite easy to plan what to pack when it comes to rain, but temperatures will vary quite a bit from the north to the south.

How will I be traveling around India?
Intrepid believes half the fun of experiencing a new country is getting there, and getting around once there! Where possible, Intrepid uses local transport options and traditional modes of transport - which usually carry less of an environmental impact, support small local operators and are heaps more fun.
Depending on which trip you're on while in India, you may find yourself traveling by Jeep.
Safari through jungles and national parks aboard a jeep, which is ideal for conquering the difficult terrain and offers supreme wildlife viewing opportunities.
Cruising the waterways of India is a revealing, inspiring experience. Whether it’s the iconic Ganges or peaceful Kerala backwaters, seeing India from the water is a must.
Traveling by train is one of the great experiences of India. It's a system which looks like chaos, but it works - and well.
Use the efficient metro to get around the sights and suburbs of Delhi.
Zip around the big cities of India by auto rickshaw.
What kind of accommodation will I be staying in?
Traveling with Intrepid is a little bit different. We endeavor to provide travelers with an authentic experience to remember, so we try to keep accommodation as unique and traditional as possible.
When traveling with us in India you may find yourself staying in a homestay.
Make new friends, feast on authentic home cooking and receive kind hospitality while staying with friendly families in India.
With walks, wildlife spotting and adventure sports nearby, staying in a jungle resort is the perfect way to see another side of India.
From ex-royal palaces to historic hill stations and converted forts, India is full of heritage properties that have been turned into comfortable accommodation with an old-world touch.
What is it like traveling on a small group tour?
Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or you’re about to embark on your first trip, traveling can be as intimidating as it is exciting. That's the beauty of a small group tour. From handling the logistics and organizing amazing cultural activities to local leaders who know each destination like the back of their hand (like which street has the best markets and where to get the most authentic food), traveling on a small group tour with Intrepid will give you unforgettable travel experiences without the hassle that comes with exploring a new place. Plus, you'll have ready-made friends to share the journey with. All you have to do is turn up with a healthy sense of adventure and we’ll take care of the rest.
Does my trip to India support The Intrepid Foundation?
Yes, all Intrepid trips support the Intrepid Foundation. In fact, we make a donation on behalf of every traveler. Trips to India directly support our foundation partner, Positive Change for Marine Life.
Positive Change for Marine Life
Positive Change for Marine Life nurtures ocean health with community-led conservation initiatives.

A Dish of the Unexpected
From the blue-hued houses of Jodhpur to the halo-like white of the Taj Mahal, Globus has brought together the most brilliant parts of India for a visually stunning holiday. Discover the Moghul masterpiece that is the Amber Fort in Jaipur, while unlocking the secrets behind the pink curtain of the royal palace Hawa Mahal. Ride a rickshaw through the Chandni Chowk bazaar in Delhi, float along the sacred waters of the Ganges, and relish the exotic tastes of a home-hosted dinner with an Indian noble family. From north to south, a multi-hued India tour is set to stir your senses.
India Highlights

Visit the Amber Fort, known as the "Sleeping Beauty of Rajasthan" and built entirely of white marble and red sandstone. This fortress-palace has a somber exterior that hides a richly ornate interior of royal apartments, including an alabaster Hall of Victory and a superb Chamber of Mirrors.
Ranthambore National Park
In addition to Bengal tigers, Ranthambore National Park is home to leopards, sambar deer, sloth bears, marsh crocodiles, striped hyenas, and more. Take the opportunity to spot them all on guided game drives in an open-air safari vehicle.

About Booking This Tour
Travel Documents
All U.S. citizens require a valid passport to enter India, and that passport must be valid for at least six months beyond the completion of travel. (Please note that although adult passports are valid for a full ten years, children's passports require renewal every five years.) Your passport must also contain at least two blank visa pages . If you are a United States citizen and do not have a valid passport, please contact the closest U.S. passport agency or consult the U.S. State Department web site for detailed information on how to obtain or renew your passport at: www.travel.state.gov.
Tauck must provide our ground operator with each guests' passport info 60 days prior to departure.
A visa is required to travel to India and they cannot be processed more than 90 days prior to departure. The visa fees are not included in the tour cost.
There is an option of e-visa which is multiple entry and valid for one year from date of approval. Guests can apply no more than 90 days in advance from proposed date of travel for a visa that is valid for 30 days of visiting. The evisa website link is: https://indianvisaonline.gov.in/evisa .
Tauck has collaborated with VisaCentral in the US to assist our guests with processing and issuing their travel documents. If a guest opts to work with VisaCentral, their services are available online at www.visacentral.com/tauck . To speak directly with VisaCentral Customer Service, please call 844-860-7199 (toll-free in the US) or email [email protected].
Please Note: While Tauck has an affiliation with VisaCentral for processing visas, you are not required to process your visa through VisaCentral, and you may elect to choose other visa services or work directly through the appropriate consulates or embassies.
Regardless of which visa service company you chose (or if you opt to work directly with the appropriate consulate or embassy), your visa application will require a summary of your Tauck itinerary. Please email [email protected] to request your itinerary summary, which we will be happy to provide.
Please Note: Because a visa is an official document, Tauck cannot apply for a visa on your behalf, and we are very limited regarding the assistance we're able to provide. If you require help, we recommend working with a reputable visa service company as they can provide the highest level of assistance.
Non-U.S. citizens should check with the Indian Embassy or Consulate to determine necessary travel documents.
We strongly recommend that you make at least two photocopies of all the travel documents that you bring with you. Include copies of the photo page of your passport that contains the date of issuance, the date of expiration and your citizenship. Secure one set of copies in the safe in your room while traveling and leave one set behind with someone at home who will assist you in the event your documents are misplaced, lost or stolen.
To facilitate Travel Requirements, destinations are increasingly utilizing online forms that require digital proof that you've successfully completed your submission (via an email, QR code, etc.) To ensure smooth travels and peace of mind, we strongly recommend all guests carry a personal smart phone and sign up for international data plans before traveling overseas.
TRAVELING WITH CHILDREN AS A GUARDIAN: If you are traveling as the guardian of a child/children, we strongly suggest that you carry a letter from both parents of the child authorizing emergency treatment in the event of illness or accident. For travel abroad, many foreign countries have specific entry requirements for children under 21 who are traveling internationally without BOTH parents. (These requirements are in response to the increased incidence of children being abducted and taken abroad.) PLEASE NOTE THAT TAUCK IS NOT RESPONSIBLE for the disruption of travel caused by improper documentation for children traveling without both parents.

Tauck's Guest Protection provides you with cancellation protection before your journey begins as well as insurance benefits while you are traveling. Guest Protection includes the following:
Cancellation Waiver – Provided by Tauck:
Under Tauck's Cancellation Fee Waiver you can cancel your tour for ANY REASON up to the day before departure and receive a money-back refund (except in Extreme Circumstances*) on the land tour cost, based on your original method of payment.

Travel Insurance Benefits – Underwritten by United States Fire Insurance Company.
- Trip Cancellation – If you must cancel your tour due to a covered reason, the plan provides coverage for the amount you paid for your travel arrangements.

- Trip Interruption – If you have to interrupt your tour for covered reasons, the plan provides reimbursement to catch up to your tour or return home.
- Travel Delay – Provides reimbursement for missed, prepaid travel arrangements if you are delayed by a common carrier, natural disaster, unannounced strike, or other reasons as cited in the plan.

You may have coverage from other sources that provides you with similar benefits but may be subject to different restrictions depending upon your other coverages. You may wish to compare the terms of this policy with your existing life, health, home and automobile policies. If you have any questions about your current coverage, call your insurer, insurance agent or broker.
This optional Guest Protection must be requested at time of booking and fee must be included with initial payment. Fees are based on costs as of July 1, 2021, and are subject to change.

Travel Requirements For This Tour
Air Information and Luggage Restrictions
AIRFARE: Airfare to and from this destination is not included in the journey cost. If purchasing your air elsewhere, it is very important to provide us with your confirmed arriving and departing flight information no later than 3 weeks before your arrival date. Flight information can be submitted to Tauck (or verified, if you've already provided it) in the My Account section of Tauck.com.
TAUCK AIRPORT TRANSFERS are included at the start and end of the journey between the airport and the Tauck hotel. Airport transfers are available for any pre tour or post tour hotel stays immediately consecutive to the tour, providing flight information is received in the Tauck office no later than three weeks in advance. Details on locating your transfer upon arrival to the tour start city will be included in your final documents.
AIRLINES and CHECKED LUGGAGE: Due to space limitations during your Tauck journey, we ask that you please limit your checked luggage to one average-size suitcase per person. Besides complying with the Tauck restriction noted above, you should also be sure to research and comply with all airline baggage restrictions relating to your flights to and from your Tauck journey. Airlines have become much more strict in enforcing size and weight limits in recent years, and are free to revise luggage policies without notice. Researching and complying with airline luggage restrictions is the responsibility of the guest, and Tauck cannot be held responsible for any costs or disruptions to travel caused by the failure to research and comply with airline policies. PLEASE NOTE that if you are booked on a tour that includes on-tour flights, the checked luggage weight restrictions for these flights may be lower than the weight restrictions for your international flights.
Special Luggage Restrictions for this Tour
Due to strictly enforced weight restrictions on the on-tour flights, luggage weight per person must not exceed 50 lbs (23 kg) and you are permitted only one piece of checked luggage. Luggage exceeding the allowable weight is subject to excess baggage charges that can result in a considerable additional expense.
Regulations within most airports require that customers handle their own luggage through customs.
On one occasion you will be required to pack an overnight bag during your India sojourn. The first such occasion will be for your one night trip to Varanasi from Delhi on day 4 of your itinerary. You will be reunited with your checked luggage upon your arrival in Agra on day 5.
To help in your packing, we are pleased to provide you with a special Tauck duffel bag. If you reside in the mainland United States, the duffel bag will be sent to your home and should arrive approximately two weeks prior to your departure for India. If you reside outside of the continental U.S., you will receive your from your Tauck Director while on tour. Packing an overnight bag on these occasions will ensure the safe and timely arrival of your luggage at your next destination, and we appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
In addition to the Tauck duffel which will be your checked piece of luggage for these overnights, you will be allowed to bring ONE piece of carry-on luggage aboard your intra-tour flights weighing no more than 15 pounds (7 kg) and with maximum dimensions of 21" x 13.75" x 10" (55 cm x 35 cm x 25 cm).
Checked Luggage – General
Besides complying with the Tauck restriction noted above, you should also be sure to research and comply with all airline baggage restrictions relating to your flights to and from your Tauck journey. Airlines have become much more strict in enforcing size and weight limits in recent years, and luggage exceeding airline standards for size or weight may result in expensive overage fees or other consequences.
Airlines are free to revise luggage policies without notice, and certain airlines have different baggage allowances for different classes of service. Researching and complying with airline luggage restrictions is the responsibility of the guest, and Tauck cannot be held responsible for any costs or disruptions to travel caused by the failure to research and comply with airline policies.
Tauck luggage tags will be provided by your Tauck Director on Day 1 of your itinerary. Please do not attach a Tauck luggage tag to any carry-on items, as the Tauck tags designate luggage that is to be handled and transferred by ground operators and hotel staff during your journey.
Carry-on Luggage – General
Although oversize bags and wheeled, carry-on luggage are popular for airline travel, they are often not convenient or appropriate for motor coach travel or for many on-tour flights. Most modern sightseeing motor coaches offer limited space for numerous or larger items. Space under seats or in the overhead rack is typically small, and designed to accommodate items like coats, hats, purses, and small camera bags, etc.
For your day-to-day travel while on tour, we recommend that you limit your hand luggage to a small, soft-sided carry-on piece, and only those items you need handy during the day such as purses, make-up, medications, cameras, film, etc. Items too large to fit under the motor coach seat or in the overhead rack must be stored in the luggage bays beneath the motor coach, and may be inaccessible during daytime travel.
Health, Safety and Mobility
HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS
Public toilet facilities are rare. You are encouraged to take every opportunity to use a clean toilet in places such as hotels and restaurants. Most hotels catering to an international clientele provide western style restroom facilities.
.Always keep mosquito repellent with you and be sure to pay special attention to mosquito protection between dusk and dawn.
Please check with your health insurance provider to determine whether you are covered while traveling. If you will not be covered under your current policy, we strongly suggest that you arrange for adequate coverage while on tour.
If you have a medical condition that might limit your participation in activities, please consult your physician for pre-departure health advice and notify Tauck as soon as possible, if you have not already done so. We will advise your Tauck Director accordingly.
VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Some of the countries visited on this itinerary may require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against certain diseases in order to enter the country. These requirements are subject to frequent change as outbreaks occur and subside in different areas, and it is therefore crucial that you obtain the very latest information on entry requirements as you prepare for your journey.
For the most current information, please consult the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) by clicking here and the World Health Organization (WHO) by clicking here . You may also wish to visit the web sites for the embassies of the countries you will be visiting. Besides providing details on vaccination requirements, these sites can also provide information on vaccinations that may be recommended (but aren't required) and other potential health issues for which no vaccines are available.
Any decisions relating to your health, of course, should not be based solely on information provided by a web site. It is critically important that you consult with your personal physician prior to your journey to obtain any required vaccinations and to review any optional recommendations offered by the CDC or other sources.
Please be sure to discuss your journey with your physician at least four to six weeks in advance of your departure, as certain vaccinations take time to become fully effective. Also, be certain to ask your physician for proof of any vaccinations you receive, and to pack this proof along with your other travel documents in your carry-on luggage (not in your checked luggage).
Researching and complying with vaccination entry requirements for the countries visited on this itinerary is the responsibility of the traveler and not Tauck. Tauck is therefore not responsible for any expenses incurred or disruptions to travel caused by improper or incomplete vaccinations, or by the failure to provide proof of required vaccinations.
If you do not obtain the necessary vaccinations and proper documentation, you may be denied entry into one or more countries, or temporarily quarantined until the necessary vaccinations are administered, or until proper documentation is provided.
Your journey to the subcontinent is very active and includes five on-tour flights. You should be in good health and able to walk moderate distances over varied terrain. Various modes of transportation will be used to highlight different aspects of India's culture and geography, including airplane, train, motor coach and houseboat.
There is a significant amount of walking on this journey; however, the pace of the itinerary has been carefully planned to intersperse sightseeing with leisurely days to ensure you have a most enjoyable time.
AN IMPORTANT NOTE ON SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN AND MOBILITY ISSUES: This Tauck itinerary cannot accommodate oxygen tanks, wheelchairs or motorized scooters. Oxygen tanks are strictly prohibited in many foreign countries on regional flights aboard small aircraft, such as those intra-tour flights featured on this Tauck journey. Likewise, the very limited cargo capacity on such flights prohibits the transport of wheelchairs or motorized scooters.
Guests should also bear in mind that the infrastructure in many foreign countries, particularly in developing countries, often presents severe and even insurmountable challenges for those with walking difficulties or other mobility issues. The responsibility of the Tauck Director is to ensure that the larger group enjoys a relaxing and informative journey, and he or she cannot be relied upon to provide ongoing individual assistance to any one guest. Guests requiring such individualized assistance must be accompanied by an able-bodied companion who can provide it.
Due to the ancient nature of several of the sites you will visit during your sojourn in India, stairs and walkways are sometimes dark, uneven, steep and/or slippery.
SPECIAL DIETARY REQUESTS
The restaurants, hotels, caterers and numerous other partners we work with all do their best to accommodate special dietary requests from Tauck guests. However, given the diverse nature of those food providers (from small wineries to grand hotels to world-famous restaurants in more than 70 countries worldwide), some of our partners are better able than others to accommodate such requests. We therefore cannot guarantee that all dietary requests can be accommodated at every meal. Also, please note that where dietary requests can be accommodated, choices will frequently be limited.
Airline Disinsection
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has issued a guidance letter that requires airlines and travel agents to disclose to consumers countries that require the use of insecticides by airlines. Please click here for more information.
Smoking is not permitted on the motor coaches. Hotels in India do not always have designated non-smoking rooms, but your preference will be forwarded to the hotels and every effort will be made to accommodate your request, although it cannot be guaranteed.
Reading List
We have compiled a reading list of recommended books to give you more information about the destinations you will be traveling to on your upcoming journey!
You can view the reading list here.
The climate in India varies depending on the location and time of travel. In northern India, the weather during the late fall and winter months of October through March is dry with temperatures averaging 45 °F (7 °C) in the early morning and evening, and 70 to 75 °F (21 to 24 °C) during the day. However, as you travel south to Mumbai and then Cochin, temperatures rise, with daytime temperatures averaging 75 to 80 °F (24 to 27 °C) in Mumbai to 90 °F (32 °C) in Cochin.
India is known for its rainy season, when monsoons make headlines. However, from October through March – the best time to travel – no more than one inch of rain per month on average falls on the cities we visit.
To determine current weather conditions, we suggest you log on to the Internet website, noaa.gov , by clicking here.
What To Pack
When packing for travel to India, we suggest you select a wardrobe that is adaptable and allows for layering. In India, delicate fabrics do not stand up well to laundering facilities except at deluxe hotels. Plain cotton or cotton and synthetic blend clothing is the most practical and is the coolest in summer. It is best to avoid synthetic fabrics that do not "breathe". A hat with a wide brim will help protect you from the harsh sun. During the fall season, a collapsible umbrella comes in handy. During the winter months, sweaters and light jackets are necessary.
For the welcome and farewell dinners, we recommend resort wear to suit a tropical climate.
Following is a list of recommended items to pack:
- Resort wear
- A sports jacket for men for fine dining options
- Skirt below the knee
- Loose slacks
- Short and long-sleeved shirts and blouses
- Light sweater
- Light waterproof jacket
- Wide-brimmed hat
- A pair of sturdy, yet comfortable, pre-worn walking shoes for uneven terrain
- A pair of easily removable shoes or sandals for entering temples and shrines
- Collapsible umbrella
- Toiletries, sundries, tissues
- Pre-moistened towelettes

Frequently asked questions
Your search for ""
What is a definite departure?
A departure is shown as 'Definite Departure' once it has reached a minimum number of guests. That particular departure will definitely run, barring any extraordinary circumstances. We update these regularly, and you can book any departure. While it is highly unlikely a departure doesn't meet the minimum number of guests, you will be offered the best alternative dates or a full refund of any payment made if this is the case. If there are ever any changes to your departure, we will contact you.
How can I book flights for my tour? What about extra hotel nights?
You can add flights and extra hotel nights directly through Trafalgar, so that everything is taken care of, leaving you to relax and enjoy your tour. If you're booking online, once you've selected your travel dates and room type, you'll be offered an option to add extra hotel nights and flights. Alternatively, you can call us to book and one of our travel experts can advise on your options.
How much is the deposit for a Trafalgar tour?
On most of our departures, you can secure your trip today with a low deposit from just $200.
What are the different kinds of experiences available?
Each Trafalgar tour has a carefully-selected range of included experiences to help immerse yourself in a destination. But did you know that every tour also has a Be My Guest and MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience? Be My Guest Experiences are the original local travel experience, letting you step into the lives of hosts who will share stories about their families and communities. MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences are conscious travel experiences that give back to the local communities, which support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Our tours also include a selection of Optional Experiences which are available for an additional cost, allowing you to make your trip your own.
Can I join a Trafalgar tour as a solo traveller?

Three reasons to choose quality assurance travel, family-owned and operated..
Our owners run the business as if it were their own, because it is their own! That’s why every detail is handled with care and an eye toward giving you the most enjoyable bus travel experience possible.
Bus Owners,NOT Bus Brokers.
There are lots of bus brokers out there who do not own their buses and/or will subcontract your charter reservation. So you not only end up with a bus company that you may never have heard of, but you could be paying a huge mark-up on the cost of your bus trip.
Beat any reasonable quote.
Along with the service and the bus coaches themselves, we guarantee you and your group will pay the lowest bus charter rate around. Have you received a quote from a Bay Area bus charter company that seems low or even too good to be true? Send it to us and we will beat it. Guaranteed.
What are Customers are saying about us
Quality Assurance Travel is absolutely the BEST! On December 27, all of our Southwest tickets were canceled and I had to find a way to get my entire hockey team down to Riverside California from San Jose for two mandatory hockey games. So, I considered looking into a motorcoach. Our driver was so professional, so kind, and even watched both of our hockey games. The bus was as clean and as comfortable as I could've prayed for!! I would recommend this company to anyone looking to rent a motorcoach, or a bus for any reason whatsoever.
Quality Assurance Travel is always my go-to bus travel company in the San Jose area. They do an amazing job communicating and taking care of your large group travel needs. I work for a school and I know I can rely on them to safely take our students to and from field trips. Huge shout out to Elena & Javier Moreno! Elena is so helpful in booking and Javier is a very experienced driver who is also very accommodating! Thank you again to this team, I appreciate everything!
Used Quality assurance travel shuttle this past Friday for my daughter's wedding. Bus driver was very friendly. Shuttle was clean and the drive was very smooth. Pick from the fairmont hotel was on time and pick up from city hall was also on time to drive to the restaurant. The pick up from the restaurant back to the hotel was also on time. I highly recommend this company for any events. No worry about driving around SF and parking

We had our staff retreat in Oakland and part of the retreat were site visits to organizations we work with. We looked for transport options and Quality Assurance Travel provided us with a good rate and we were glad with the service they provided. Their travel representatives communicated well and there was no need for extra phone calls or emails given that there were different buses and pick-up times. QAT provided prompt and great service.
We went from Palo Alto to Spirit Rock for a morning retreat and back in the afternoon, a 2 hr drive in each way. Quality Assurance Travel offered us a good rate. The driver arrived on time and service was decent. Will use them again.

Schraders’ “A Tour Without Duty” has been arranging trips for private groups, clubs, schools, and retirement communities for over twenty years and we have found San Jose Charters to be one of the more competent companies with which to work. The front office phone service people, drivers, and owners have always had time to answer our questions, therefore leaving us with a feeling of trust and confidence in their company. Their exemplary performance record with us is beyond reproach.

San Jose Charters is an outstanding bus company they are always able to accommodate us and go above in beyond in customer service. Their buses are very clean and comfortable for long distance travel.

- I would like a price quote
- I'd like to learn about GOGO Charters
- --> What's the weather like in Santa Clara?

Here are just a few of the companies in Santa Clara that have trusted us with their group transportation needs.
Rent a Santa Clara Charter Bus or Minibus
Our charter bus company rents coaches and minibuses with guaranteed climate control and optional features like reclining seats, power outlets and TVs with DVD players. If you’re traveling with a school group , you can request free WiFi so your students can complete assignments on their tablets or stream music on their phones.
Full-size charter bus rentals also have storage space beneath the bus, making them ideal for sports teams who need to stash balls, nets, or racquets.

Available Amenities
Popular santa clara destinations.
Although one of Santa Clara’s biggest selling points is its proximity to San Francisco, the city has several attractions of its own that draw in visitors from across the Bay Area. Here are some of the most popular group-friendly destinations you can find in Santa Clara:
California’s Great America
This theme park features intense roller coasters like Flight Deck and the aptly named Demon as well as more family-friendly coasters like the Woodstock Express. Don’t worry if coasters aren’t your style, though—your youth group or scouting troop can spend the day on less intense rides like Thunder Raceway, the Celebration Swings, and Mass Effect: New Earth. If you’re visiting in summer, set aside time to race down the waterslides and tube rides at the Great America water park.
Address: 4701 Great America Pkwy, Santa Clara, CA 95054
Bus parking: Parking for tour buses is free. The bus can drop you off at 4911 Great America Parkway before finding a spot in the theme park’s lot.
Triton Museum of Art
A cultural cornerstone of Santa Clara, the Triton Museum showcases contemporary artists, especially those with ties to the Bay Area. You may see exhibitions about the experience of African American, Japanese, or Mexican artists in Northern California or catch a selection of modern prints from the museum’s permanent collection. This museum is also free, so you don’t have to worry about how much it’ll cost to bring your entire group.
Address: 1505 Warburton Ave, Santa Clara, CA 95050
Bus parking: The Museum provides free parking in its lot.
Intel Museum
You can’t go to Silicon Valley without learning about computers, right? This intriguing museum shows how silicon chips are made and just how clean and automated Intel’s factories have to be to keep the chips working. But you won’t only learn about Intel’s products from a distance—you’ll also get to engage in interactive activities in the Learning Lab.
You can request a special field trip program for your girls’ coding group or a guided tour for your adult tour group by calling 408-765-5050 or emailing [email protected] . Adult groups can also take a self-guided tour with no reservation needed.
Address: 2200 Mission College Blvd, Santa Clara, CA 95054
Bus parking: The museum has designated parking, but if it fills up, your charter bus can drop you off and return to pick you up at the end of your visit.
Field Trips in the Bay Area
The Triton Museum of Art and the Intel Museum mentioned above both welcome field trips, but GOGO Charters can also help your class reach educational destinations throughout the Bay Area. If you want to visit the Computer History Museum in Mountain View or The Science Factory in San Jose, rent a coach with plush, reclining seats to get your class there more comfortably.
Going all the way to the Children’s Creativity Museum, Chinatown, or Alcatraz in San Francisco? You don’t want to deal with 50 bored children on an un-airconditioned school bus. Charter buses not only have climate control but also feature free WiFi and TVs with DVD players. Put on a movie, ask your kids to complete online activities, or just let them listen to music until you reach SF.
College Tours of Santa Clara University
GOGO Charters can easily transport your group of college-bound seniors to Santa Clara University, a Jesuit college in the center of the city. Don’t worry about your kids piling into carpools with each other and getting lost or becoming distracted while driving. A minibus will keep everyone together until you reach this beautiful campus that boasts a 11:1 student-to-faculty ratio.
Santa Clara blends a commitment to innovative technology (it is in Silicon Valley, after all) with an equally strong commitment to leaving the world a better place that comes from its Jesuit heritage. The university is also known for its sports programs, especially its women’s soccer program.
Santa Clara University
Address: 500 El Camino Real, Santa Clara, CA 95053
Where to book your tour: https://ugrdslate.scu.edu/portal/visitscu
Bus parking: When you book your tour, you’ll receive free parking on the third floor of the parking structure. Minibuses should be able to fit, but if your charter bus can’t, let the admissions office know so they can provide instructions.
Sports in Santa Clara
Santa Clara’s home team is The University of Santa Clara Broncos, who play a variety of sports, including basketball, baseball, tennis, and soccer. The campus has limited parking, so it may be a good idea to have your charter bus drop you off at Stanton Soccer Field or the Leavey Center before the game begins.
Stanton Soccer Field
Address: Stanton Soccer Field, Santa Clara, CA 95053
Leavey Center
Address: Leavey Event Center, Santa Clara, CA 95053
Levi’s Stadium
Home of the San Francisco 49ers
Address: 4900 Marie P DeBartolo Way, Santa Clara, CA 95054
Santa Clara Wedding Shuttles
If you’re getting married in the Bay Area, Santa Clara’s wedding venues offer a welcome alternative to San Francisco’s higher-priced hotspots. Check out the Santa Clara Marriott, the historic Jamison-Brown House behind the Triton Art Museum, and the Adobe Lounge at Santa Clara University for your celebration in Northern California.
If you have guests coming from out of town, they may be a little overwhelmed by the Bay Area’s packed interstates and expensive rideshares. Save your relatives some stress by booking a shuttle bus to take them from their hotel to your ceremony and reception. Once the reception ends, the bus will whisk everyone back to the hotel so you don’t have to worry about who does or doesn’t have a DD.
Corporate Travel in Santa Clara
Santa Clara has several event venues that can host conferences, trade shows, and large meetings. If you need transportation from Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport to your hotel, rent a bus so your entire department can stick together and no one has to worry about finding a taxi or rideshare. You can also request power outlets and free WiFi so you won’t get behind on emails during your drive to the Santa Clara Convention Center.
Trips from Santa Clara to San Francisco
Since San Francisco lies only an hour away from Santa Clara, it’s common for schools in Santa Clara to head to SF for field trips and for businesses to attend meetings or conferences there. If you need safe transportation from Santa Clara to San Francisco that ensures everyone will arrive at the same time, try a charter bus from GOGO Charters. One of the professional drivers in our network will battle Northern California’s traffic while you sit back in a reclining seat and read a book or scroll through your phone.
Long-Term Shuttles to Silicon Valley
GOGO Charters can also provide recurring shuttle service for employees going from Santa Clara to tech campuses in Silicon Valley. Just call our shuttle reservation specialists at 1-844-897-5201 and let them know what size of bus you need, whether you need it on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, and what route it should follow. We’ll pick your employees up from designated stops or from the train station so they can relax for the entire ride and still get to the office on time. You can even request electrical outlets and free WiFi to ensure your coworkers don’t run out of power or data before they arrive at work.
Prices for Santa Clara Charter Buses
We take into account a lot of factors when determining the cost of your charter bus rental in Santa Clara: your starting and ending cities, how far you have to travel, how many people you’re bringing with you, and what time of year you’re traveling, to name a few. Our pricing guide provides a more detailed breakdown of how we figure out your final cost.
If you’d like an exact quote, you can get one for free and with no obligation to book by calling us at (415) 475-1625. Our reservation experts are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to give you a personalized estimate.
Rent a Charter Bus in Santa Clara
Whether you’re attending an event in Silicon Valley, touring the Triton Museum of Art, or taking a group of kids to California’s Great America, GOGO Charters can help you get around Santa Clara without losing anyone from your group or scrambling to find rideshares. If you’re planning to travel a little farther, a charter bus provides a comfortable and low-stress way to reach Balboa Park , the Castro and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Give us a call at (415) 475-1625 so we can find the perfect charter bus for your trip around the Bay Area.
