Planned around Australian travel habits

  • Summer holidays match the best season. December and January are peak weather in Rajasthan and Kerala. Book by August for Christmas departures.
  • Stopover friendly. Most Australians route via Singapore, Kuala Lumpur or Doha. We arrange tours that start on the day you land and finish at the airport for your onward flight.
  • Winter escapes to Ladakh. June to September is the Himalayan season, a dry, sunny break from the southern winter, with acclimatisation built into every itinerary.
  • Familiar standards. Four- and five-star hotels with Western bathrooms, reliable Wi-Fi and filtered water; heritage palaces where they meet the same standard.
  • Food and dietary needs. Bottled water throughout, restaurants chosen for hygiene, and vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free menus arranged in advance.
  • Same-day answers. Our office hours fall in your afternoon and evening, so a question sent after work is normally answered before you sleep.

Questions from Australian travellers

Is India safe for Australian tourists?

Yes, with a licensed operator, a private driver and vetted hotels. We host solo women, couples and families every season. Check Smartraveller advice for the regions you plan to visit; our standard routes sit in areas without advisories.

How much does a private India tour from Australia cost?

It depends on hotel grade and length. We quote in AUD or USD after a short call, listing every inclusion (car, driver, guides, hotels, breakfasts, transfers, monument fees).

Do Australians need a visa for India?

Yes. Australian citizens apply for an e-Visa online at the official government site (indianvisaonline.gov.in). It takes about 10 minutes to apply and 3 to 5 business days to approve.

What vaccinations do I need for India?

Australian travel clinics generally recommend routine vaccines plus Hepatitis A and Typhoid. Visit a clinic 4 to 6 weeks before departure. No vaccine is mandatory for entry from Australia.

Will my Australian phone and cards work?

Visa and Mastercard work in hotels, larger restaurants and ATMs. Telstra and Optus offer India roaming, or we help you buy a local SIM at the airport.

When should I book?

Three to four months ahead for October to March travel, and by August for the Christmas and January holiday period.
