Off the Beaten Track Holidays in North India


asia
With so many incredible sights, it is tempting to try to squeeze as much as possible into your North India holiday. Yet with the heat, long drives, early starts and busy days, you should not underestimate just how tiring a jam-packed tour around India can feel. With this in mind, many of our North India holidays already have a little down time built in to the itinerary in suitable destinations. This allows some time at leisure, the opportunity to explore by yourself or simply the chance to have a lie-in!

We have also created some holidays which include stays in a number of wonderful hidden gem properties. Located a little off the beaten track, but handily en route between main tourist destinations, these hotels are designed to allow you to soak up the peaceful atmosphere and have time to relax.

Typically run by charming live-in hosts who delight in showing off their little patch of India, these properties also offer a variety of enriching experiences for you to enjoy during your stay. These unique cultural experiences and the genuine interactions with local characters they provide, allow you to see a different side to India and are often our clients’ favourite part of their India holiday.
