About our India Holidays
TransIndus is the UK’s leading India holiday specialist, helping you plan your 2026–27 journey with insight, confidence and imagination. While we design luxury travel across Asia, our heart has always remained in India, the country we began with over thirty years ago. Our team is widely regarded as the most knowledgeable in the UK: many were born and raised in India, and all bring deep local expertise to the creation of exclusive, authentic experiences tailored precisely to you. Over the years, we’ve been privileged to design personalised journeys for thousands of loyal travellers and notable figures alike, including Sir Michael Palin, the consummate traveller and national treasure.
India has captivated explorers for millennia, and today it remains endlessly fascinating - whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning as a seasoned traveller. One of the greatest challenges is deciding where to begin, and the answer depends on the style of holiday you seek. For first-time visitors, this often means choosing between two classic introductions: The Golden Triangle of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, perhaps extended into Rajasthan’s desert landscapes, or the gentler rhythms of Kerala paired with the historic temples and culture of neighbouring Tamil Nadu. Wherever your interests lie, TransIndus are the specialists who will help you experience India at its very best.

Popular Holiday Regions in India
Golden Triangle
The cities of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur form the three main points of a route often referred to as ‘the Golden Triangle’ in India – as much for its wealth of historic monuments as its enduring popularity with visitors. The region holds the country’s most splendid forts, palaces and tombs, including the Taj Mahal, and offers a broad spectrum of different cultural experiences, reflecting India’s complex mix of religious and ethnic traditions.
Rajasthan
Picture a Rajput palace, its ochre-washed walls rising sheer from a sandstone outcrop to apartments encrusted with domed cuppolas and pleasure pavilions. Now imagine gazing from one of the courtyards hidden within it across a mass of flat rooftops to a horizon of scrub hills and dried river beds.
Kerala
Since the time of ancient Greece, Europeans have been seduced by the rich, vibrancy and cultural sophistication of India’s far southwest – an intensely tropical region known to outsiders as ‘Malabar’, and to the locals as simply ‘Kerala’ – ‘Land of the Chera Kings’.
North & Central India
North and Central India – encompassing Delhi and the Gangetic Plains – hold enough extraordinary sights to keep even the most ardent Indo-phile happy for several lifetimes. Many of our customers return again and again to this extraordinary

Goa
Goa, the former Portuguese colony on India’s southwest coast, has long been our principal recommendation for anyone considering a beach holiday to India or a few days at the end of their India tour.
East India
Eastern India boasts some of the most spectacular and diverse landscapes in the subcontinent and a cultural life as vibrant and distinctive as any in Asia. Its two dominant natural features are the vast chain of Himalayan peaks rising to th…
Northeast Hill States
Thanks to its challenging topography and capricious, often wet weather, the hilly northeast of India is the least visited part of the country. Comparatively few foreigners venture much beyond Kaziranga National Park, on the banks of the Bra…
Andaman & Nicobar Islands
This most remote region of India sits some 700+ miles off the east coast across the Bay of Bengal. A tropical archipelago formerly used as a penal colony by the British until 1947 to house freedom fighters is covered in pristine rainforest…
