Planning Your Journey
The finest journeys begin long before departure. We recommend starting international travel plans at least three to six months in advance — particularly for peak seasons, luxury properties and exclusive experiences.
India journeys benefit from similar lead times, especially during festivals, wildlife seasons and palace hotel availability windows.
When to Visit India
India's seasons offer remarkable variety. October through March brings pleasant weather across most regions — ideal for Rajasthan, the Golden Triangle and cultural circuits.
Kerala and the south are wonderful year-round, though monsoon months (June–September) bring lush landscapes and fewer crowds. The Himalayas are best explored in spring and autumn.
What to Pack
Pack for comfort and respect. Lightweight, breathable fabrics suit most climates. Modest attire is appreciated at temples and religious sites.
For wildlife safaris, neutral tones are recommended. A light shawl or jacket is useful for cooler evenings and air-conditioned transfers.
Health & Travel Documents
Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates. Visa requirements vary by nationality and destination — we advise on documentation as part of your planning.
Consult your physician regarding recommended vaccinations and carry any prescribed medications in original packaging with a copy of your prescription.
Currency & Connectivity
Major hotels and restaurants in India accept cards, though local currency is useful for markets and smaller establishments. International roaming or a local SIM can be arranged upon arrival.
