I traveled solo for one day before joining the main tour with two friends. Their service was excellent! The team was incredibly responsive to our feedback on the spot. For example, they immediately upgraded our vehicle to ensure the three of us were comfortable and even added another car for extra space. We enjoyed a truly private, customized experience in India—from the food to the itinerary. I had a wonderful 5-6 days during my first time in India, and I will definitely be back to explore more with this trusted operator. Special thanks to Subhash and Devendra, our drivers. They did an absolutely perfect job. They are punctual, knowledgeable, great at navigation, and speak decent English. We also want to thank the guides, and Crystal for their hospitality and genuine care. We truly appreciated it!

Best tour companies for Northern India tours
From what our travelers tell us, three tour operators really stand out for their India trips. Fragrance of Taj gets consistent positive feedback for running smooth operations - their drivers are professional, hotels comfortable and the guides know their stuff. The communication is clear throughout which helps everything run smoothly. MTA Destinations has built a solid reputation with our customers who appreciate how well-organized their tours are. Their drivers are known for being courteous and the daily sightseeing is thoughtfully planned to make the most of each location. When it comes to Swastik India Journeys, travelers particularly love their choice of high-end hotels and how professional their drivers are. Their guides really know their material and also understand what makes a good tour experience - their Agra guide especially gets mentioned for making the visits fun and helping everyone get great photos of their time at the monuments. What connects all three companies is their attention to the fundamentals that make tours work well - reliable transport, quality accommodation, knowledgeable guides and good organization. The consistent positive feedback from people who've actually taken these tours suggests you'd be in good hands with any of these operators.

Best places to start your Northern India tour
Most of our Northern India journeys begin in New Delhi - about 48 travelers chose it as their starting point last season. Another 16 people kicked off from Islamabad, while 12 headed straight to Leh to get into the Himalayan landscapes. Our booking patterns show that securing your spot around 78 days ahead (that's about two and a half months) makes sense, especially since the nicest hotels tend to fill up during peak season. The heritage palace hotels in Rajasthan are a real highlight - they give you a genuine taste of royal Indian living - and many guests combine their cultural touring with stops at national parks to see wildlife. Having one of our local guides along really makes a difference; they help make sense of the rich history and also make it easier to navigate local customs and traditions.

Best time to visit Northern India
- Winter 2025 / 2026
Winter really shows off Northern India's mountain destinations, especially in Shimla and Manali. Our travelers love playing in the snow at Kufri which sits up at 2,500 meters with its clean white landscapes. You can go skiing and zorbing in Solang Valley, and when conditions allow, the Rohtang Pass routes give you proper Himalayan snow experiences. The spiritual tours to Varanasi and Kumbh Mela take on a special feel in winter - morning boat rides drift through mist on the Ganges, and the evening ceremonies feel almost magical in the cool air. Old Delhi and Agra walks are much more pleasant this time of year, and our guides pick the perfect times for Taj Mahal visits to catch the crisp winter light.

- Spring 2026
Spring tours blend Delhi's historic sites with real mountain adventures in the Himalayas. Our customers consistently tell us they love the spring weather for Shimla's colonial walks and riding the heritage toy train through the passes. Rishikesh is particularly good this season - the Ganges has ideal water levels for rafting and you can join outdoor yoga sessions without getting too hot or cold. Many tours visit McLeod Ganj when the Norbulingka Institute is busy with Tibetan artisans working on traditional crafts in the pleasant spring weather.

- Summer 2026
Summer opens up high routes through Ladakh and also Kashmir Valley. Top tours include nights in Nubra Valley where you can ride two-humped Bactrian camels with snow peaks towering above the sand dunes. Our travelers appreciate how we carefully plan the altitude adjustments, making spots like Pangong Lake at 4,400 meters both comfortable and safe to visit. For the Golden Triangle, we schedule Taj Mahal visits at sunrise when the air is clear and crowds are minimal. In Jaipur, activities happen early morning or late evening so you can explore the Pink City's markets and palaces when it's cooler.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Autumn creates perfect conditions for exploring Northern India's historic and cultural sites. Our travelers get excellent photos this time of year - the light hits the Red Fort's details just right and catches beautiful reflections at Amritsar's Golden Temple. Several routes mix Delhi's historic places with quiet walks in Shimla's hills as they turn autumn colors. Many people choose spiritual tours to Rishikesh in fall to join the evening Ganga aarti by the river and explore the Beatles Ashram in nice temperatures. It's also just right for mixing cultural visits with nature walks along the Ganges, and our guides know exactly where to catch the sun setting behind the Himalayas.
