Best of India – From North to South

Experience India’s extraordinary diversity on a fascinating 14–16 day journey from North to South India, combining historic cities, magnificent monuments, royal heritage, vibrant urban life, lush tea country and Kerala’s tranquil backwaters.

Begin in Delhi, where ancient monuments, bustling markets and colonial landmarks reveal layers of India’s history. Continue to Agra to witness the magnificent Taj Mahal before travelling to Jaipur, Rajasthan’s celebrated Pink City, with its imposing forts, royal palaces and colourful bazaars.

From Rajasthan, fly to Mumbai, India’s dynamic coastal metropolis. Discover a city where colonial architecture, local markets, neighbourhoods, contemporary culture and the Arabian Sea come together.

The journey then moves south to Kerala, offering an entirely different landscape and pace of life. Explore historic Kochi, with its multicultural heritage and atmospheric old quarters, before travelling into the Western Ghats to Munnar, famous for its rolling hills and tea plantations.

Conclude your journey in Alleppey (Alappuzha), where Kerala’s peaceful backwaters, palm-fringed canals and traditional villages provide a relaxing finale to your Indian adventure. An overnight houseboat experience can be incorporated for travellers seeking one of Kerala’s signature experiences.

Designed as a comprehensive introduction to India, this itinerary brings together the country’s history, architecture, culture, cuisine, landscapes and local experiences in one seamless journey.

The program can be customised by Uday Tours according to travel dates, preferred hotel category, interests and pace of travel.
