Pick the destination of your next India tour
The two most popular destinations for tailor-made tours in India are Rajasthan and South India. Both are perfect for a first trip to the subcontinent. All the ‘images’ you might have of India are brought together: Taj Mahal, elephants, palaces, maharajas, colours, spices, palm trees, temples, smiling people, etc......
It is a trip anyone can take.
Central India and the north-eastern states have retained a more authentic character because these remote lands are still untouched by mass tourism. They will not leave you indifferent, and it is on a trip to these less accessible regions that you will discover the best of the "off the beaten track".
As for other destinations, they are generally preferred by those who already know India and wish to return there for a less touristy, more in-depth exploration.
For your tailor-made tour, you will first have to decide which region to visit. It's not an easy task, given the sheer size of the subcontinent. Here are a few suggestions for tours in India that can help you decide where to go. Remember, however, that all Flo Travels circuits are tailor-made for each customer.
Select the right travel period for your India tour
For a tailor-made tour, the climate and the travel period will be important elements in the choice of your destination. With an area slightly smaller than that of the European Union, India has a wide variety of climates, depending on the region and altitude. There are three main seasons: winter, summer and the monsoon (rainy season).
From October to March, winter is pleasant throughout India (except in Himalayan regions). The days are clear and sunny, the rain almost non-existent. Temperatures in the north (Rajasthan, Ganges Valley and Central India), however, may be cold in some places, especially at night.
From April to June, summer rages across the country, with extremely high temperatures in some places (Rajasthan and Central India). Mountain regions are then the best place to find a bit of cool.
The monsoon crosses the country. It hits the coast of Kerala at the beginning of June before moving northwards and hitting Rajasthan between July and September. It will also cross Tamil Nadu (south) in October-November.
These tours in India are particularly intended for those who are new to India. They are recommended for a first approach to the subcontinent. An introduction to India that immerses you in a world full of chivalry and worthy of the famous One Thousand and One Nights folktales. Numerous destinations exist for one tailor-made travel.
This world is open to all those who want to taste the lights of Rajasthan, admire its Rajput fortresses and its palaces of precious lace, dream in its romantic gardens and relax in the comfort of its hotels renowned for their hospitality. From Jaipur to the Taj Mahal, from the palaces of Udaipur to the fortress of Jaisalmer, from the Thar Desert to the Aravalli Mountains, a new world opens up to you.
These tailor-made tours of North and Central India take you to the heart of India. Where tourists still hesitate to venture, but where fabulous sites with diverse influences are hidden. This is where the wealth of civilisation lies. This is where the sacred sites of Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Jainism are to be found. It's here that you can discover simple, popular crafts in the narrow streets of the villages, where the bazaars smell of spices and the stalls are full of delicacies. Authenticity is everywhere.
And it's here, too, that you will want to take a wildlife break and discover the great national parks of the State of Madhya Pradesh: Bandhavgarh and Kanha. It takes time to get there, but patience pays off: what a reward when one of India's icons, the Bengal tiger, appears at the turn of a forest path!
Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka: three states that are perfect for tailor-made tours. They bring together natural beauties and curiosities forged by man over the centuries.
Kerala, a narrow strip of land wedged between the Arabian Sea and the Western Ghats, offers multiple tour possibilities where natural beauty predominates. Essentially cultural, Tamil Nadu is bordered by the Bay of Bengal. Populated by the Tamils, its history is one of the oldest in the world.
Finally, Karnataka takes us seamlessly from ancient times to the high technology of the 21st century, of which Bangalore is the capital.
You are passionate about nature and the mountains in particular, and you are not afraid to set off on foot to discover the local population. So, here is a customised tour of the North-Eastern States that takes you to a region that has yet to be visited, for a journey at your own pace.
In the heart of Kaziranga Park, at the foot of the Himalayas, surrounded by the famous Darjeeling tea plantations, or cruising on one of the longest rivers in the world, this is an unforgettable experience. Far from the classic tourist itineraries, this India tour is definitely an authentic experience.
Here you embark on an exceptional journey to the heart of one of the world's oldest civilisations. Traditions, folklore, myths and legends: everything here fascinates, bewitches, questions, amuses and amazes.
Every desire, occasion or event can be the pretext for a luxury trip to India: honeymoon, birthday, dream come true, cruise, discovery of a culture, a people and their traditions, getting back into shape or discovering the local gastronomy. The list goes on and on. One thing for sure: this is a trip to awaken all your senses!
