India in Depth: 15+ Days of Forts, Faith & color
See big-name sights and quieter places, with time to settle into the rhythm of India
India rewards unhurried travel, and 15+ day itineraries give you the breathing space to balance headline sights with the texture of everyday life. Expect guided tours that connect major cities to smaller, characterful stops, so each week brings a new setting, along with time for temples, markets, regional food, and the long drives that reveal the landscapes in between. You can choose group or private tours, and select fully guided or partly guided styles depending on how much structure you want. Many trips focus solely on India, while others add a second country such as Nepal or Sri Lanka. Hotel standard and meals vary by itinerary, and some routes also include memorable overnight experiences, from a desert camp to a deluxe houseboat.
