India
India is a country to travel in slowly: palaces and forts in Rajasthan, the Ganges at Varanasi, backwaters in Kerala and mountain valleys in the north.
We plan routes by region so you spend less time in transit and more time on the ground.
| Best time | October to March for most of the country, with the Himalayas best from April to June and September to October. |
