Yes, our India holidays are ideal for first-time solo travellers. You’ll travel as part of a welcoming group, with an experienced Holiday Director guiding you throughout, so you get the independence of solo travel with the reassurance of an escorted holiday.
Solo travel involves planning and navigating everything yourself, including transport, logistics, safety, tickets and timings. An escorted tour includes a planned itinerary, expert guidance, and group support – so you can see more with less stress, while still enjoying your own space and downtime.
Our holidays are designed for solo travellers, and you are guaranteed a twin or double room to yourself.
Yes. The amount of free time varies between itineraries.
Most itineraries balance guided touring with free time, so you can explore independently, shop, relax, or join optional experiences, while still having the structure of an escorted trip.
India is a year-round destination, but the best time to travel depends on the regions included in your itinerary.
Many departures operate between October and March, when days are generally cooler and drier in many parts of the country.
If you’re travelling in April to June, expect higher temperatures, while July to September brings the monsoon in many areas – still a fascinating time to visit, just with more humidity and occasional downpours.
The climate varies widely across India’s north, south, mountains and coastal regions, so check your chosen tour page for departure dates and the most relevant seasonal information.
Yes, UK residents need a visa to legally visit India, as well as a valid passport that covers the entire duration of the trip and has at least 6 more months remaining.
Check out our Travel Requirements and Visa Service page for more information.
India’s official currency is the rupee (₹). Cash is essential for paying street vendors, transport and small shops. However, a payment card can be used for larger purchases in more urban areas.
Vaccination advice for India can vary depending on your medical history, the areas you’ll visit and the type of trip you’re taking. We recommend checking the latest guidance well in advance of departure and speaking to your GP, practice nurse or a travel health clinic for personalised advice.
It’s also a good idea to review official travel health information before you go, and make sure you have appropriate travel insurance for your holiday.
It’s wise to prepare for India’s climate and day-to-day travel conditions. Pack any regular medication (plus spares), bring sun protection, and stay hydrated by drinking only bottled water.
Your Holiday Director can also provide practical on-the-ground tips during the trip, but for medical guidance, we recommend consulting a healthcare professional before you travel.
India is welcoming and vibrant, and a few small customs can help you feel at ease straight away.
In many places, it’s polite to dress modestly, remove shoes when asked (especially in temples), and be mindful when photographing people. You’ll also notice that using your right hand for eating or handing items is common practice, and public displays of affection are generally more understated than in the UK.
If you’re unsure about anything, your Holiday Director will be on hand to help.
When packing for any trip to India, comfort should be key.
Lightweight, breathable fabrics like cotton and linen will be your best friend, as will loose-fitting silhouettes. Comfortable, easy-to-remove footwear is a must for more active days and temple visits, but you might pack a pair of shoes for relaxed evenings spent at the hotel.
A small day bag is useful for water, tissues, sanitiser, sun cream and a light scarf (handy for air-conditioned coaches and temple visits).
India is full to the brim of incredible cultural experiences, colourful cities and flavoursome cuisine. We share our top 10 reasons why solo travellers should venture to this magnificent country.
