Questions from American travelers

Is India safe for American tourists?

Yes, when you travel with a licensed operator, a private driver and vetted hotels. Our guests include solo women, couples and families with children. You are never left to negotiate transport or find a hotel on your own.

How much does a private India tour from the USA cost?

It depends on hotel grade and length. We quote in USD after a short call about your dates and interests, listing every inclusion (car, driver, guides, hotels, breakfasts, transfers, monument fees). Most guests find a private guided tour costs less than they expect compared with US or European touring.

Do I need a visa to visit India from the US?

Yes. US 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. We send exact instructions after booking.

What vaccinations do Americans need for India?

The CDC recommends routine vaccines plus Hepatitis A and Typhoid for most travelers. Visit a travel clinic 4 to 6 weeks before departure. No vaccine is mandatory for entry from the US.

Can I use my US credit card and phone in India?

Visa and Mastercard work in hotels, larger restaurants and ATMs. Carry some rupees for markets and tips. US carriers offer India roaming, or we help you buy a local Airtel or Jio SIM at the airport for a few dollars.

When should I book?

Three to four months ahead for October to March travel, when the best heritage hotels fill up. Thanksgiving and Christmas weeks need five to six months.
