India Tours & Itineraries 2019/2020

Don’t follow the herd.

Maharajan palaces, desert dunes, Himalayan homestays and emerald backwaters — India is more like a continent than a single country. With a Rickshaw India itinerary, you’ll see the best of India and experience a few quirky, hidden gems too. All our India itineraries are private tours and built using our shorter bite-sized trips, and often combine the Golden Triangle of Agra, Jaipur and Delhi with other fascinating regions. These itineraries can be booked off the peg or simply used as a starting point as they are fully tweakable.

We have also put together some family-friendly itineraries so your kids can be epic explorers from an early age. Find the perfect India travel itinerary for you, below!
