On guided holidays in India, you can fulfil dreamed-of experiences like watching a flower and candle ceremony on the Ganges, catching the sunrise over the Taj Mahal or going for a camel ride in the desert.

Solo Tours of India for UK Travellers

We have wonderful solo Indian rail holidays that give you time to absorb some of the sights of rural India, not to mention some of the world’s most spectacular scenery on the famous Toy Train to Shimla. Visits to sites such Bodh Gaya, a key Buddhist pilgrimage site, and the Golden Temple of Amritsar, a focal point of the Sikh religion, highlight the all-important spiritual side of India. Meanwhile, Mughal history is reflected in the palatial façades and grand domes of the red sandstone ‘ghost’ city of Fatehpur Sikri, once intended as the capital of the Mughal Empire.
