Overview

Is This Trip Right for You?

This journey packs an incredible amount into a short timeframe, making it ideal for travellers with limited time who still want to experience India in our distinctive style. If you are looking for a deeper exploration of North India, we invite you to explore more itineraries on our website.

India can be extremely warm, particularly during the summer months. Although our walking tours are generally scheduled during the cooler parts of the day, we recommend carrying plenty of water and packing essentials such as a cap, sunscreen, lightweight long-sleeved clothing, and anything else that will help protect you from the sun.

Travelling with Cal India Tours and Travels also means respecting local customs and cultural traditions, allowing for more meaningful interactions with local communities. During this trip, we will visit temples and other sacred sites where modest attire is required. Please ensure your clothing covers your shoulders, wrists, and knees when entering religious places.
