India is a country that rewards every kind of traveller. From the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas to the sun-soaked beaches of Goa, from the royal forts of Rajasthan to the tranquil backwaters of Kerala, the sheer variety of experiences on offer is what makes planning a holiday here both exciting and, at times, overwhelming. With so many destinations, seasons, and travel styles to consider, most travellers eventually go looking for the best holiday packages in India — curated itineraries that take the guesswork out of the planning and let the trip itself take centre stage.
At Book My Holiday, we have spent years curating some of the best holiday packages in India, combining comfort, value, and authentic experiences. Whether you are planning a family vacation, a romantic honeymoon, an adventure-packed getaway, or a spiritual pilgrimage, our packages are designed to take the stress out of travelling so you can focus on making memories. Over the years, our itineraries have grown to cover more than twenty destinations across India, ranging from well-loved classics to quieter corners of the country that rarely make it onto standard tour lists.
In this guide, we walk you through the best holiday packages in India available right now — from the destinations worth prioritising this year, to how to choose a package that actually delivers value, to the small details that separate a forgettable trip from one you will be talking about for years.
Why India Deserves a Spot on Every Traveller’s Bucket List
Few countries in the world can match India’s diversity. Within a single trip, you can walk through centuries-old palaces, trek through misty hill stations, relax on pristine beaches, and sample cuisines that change completely from one state to the next. This is precisely why so many travellers, both domestic and international, search for a trusted travel partner who understands the country inside out.
As a leading tour operator in India, we believe that the right itinerary should reflect not just popular attractions but also the hidden gems that make a destination special. A good holiday package is not simply a checklist of monuments — it is a thoughtfully sequenced journey that balances sightseeing, rest, local culture, and a bit of spontaneity.
Here is what makes India such a rewarding destination for holidaymakers:
- Unmatched geographical diversity — deserts, mountains, coastlines, forests, and backwaters, often within a few hours of each other
- Rich cultural heritage — thousands of years of history reflected in architecture, festivals, art, and living traditions
- Culinary variety — regional cuisines that shift dramatically from north to south and east to west
- Something for every budget — from luxury heritage stays to comfortable, cost-effective options
- Year-round travel potential — while seasons matter, there is always a region of India worth visiting at any time of year
Popular Holiday Packages Across India
Whether you are searching for affordable holiday packages in India, a top-rated tour package, or something entirely custom, our range spans nearly every kind of holiday a traveller could want. Below is a closer look at the categories that make up our full lineup of best holiday packages in India.
Hill Station Getaways
For travellers who want to escape the heat and enjoy cool mountain air, our hill station packages cover destinations such as Shimla, Manali, Nainital, Mussoorie, Darjeeling, and Ooty. These packages typically include comfortable stays, scenic sightseeing tours, and enough free time to simply soak in the views, rather than rushing from one viewpoint to the next.
Each hill destination brings a slightly different mood to the itinerary. Himachal’s stretch of Manali and Shimla offers pine-covered slopes, apple orchards, and a mix of colonial-era architecture with modern cafés, making it equally suited to families and young couples. Further east, Darjeeling slows the pace right down — mornings begin with mist rolling over tea estates, and the toy train rides remains one of the most-requested experiences we build into our itineraries. Ooty and the surrounding Nilgiris, meanwhile, bring a distinctly southern character to the hill-station experience, with botanical gardens, lakeside walks, and a cooler climate that feels worlds away from the plains below.
- Manali and Shimla remain firm favourites for their easy accessibility and stunning valley views
- Darjeeling and Ooty appeal strongly to those chasing tea gardens and colonial-era charm
- Nainital and Mussoorie work well for shorter, weekend-friendly hill escapes
- Most hill station packages can be extended with a nearby trek or nature walk for travellers who want a touch of adventure without a full expedition
Beach Holiday Packages
Goa continues to top the list for beach lovers, but our beach packages also extend to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Pondicherry, Gokarna, and Varkala. Each of these destinations carries its own distinct personality, and part of our job is matching the right coastline to the kind of holiday a traveller actually wants.
Goa, for instance, suits travellers who want their days built around beach shacks, water sports, and a buzzing nightlife scene, while the Andaman Islands are a completely different experience altogether — think turquoise water, coral reefs, and a slower island rhythm best suited to snorkelling, scuba diving, and quiet evenings by the shore. Pondicherry sits somewhere in between, offering a walkable, French-influenced old town alongside a calmer stretch of coast, and Gokarna and Varkala have become increasingly popular with travellers who want the feel of a beach holiday without the crowds of a mainstream destination.
- Goa — nightlife, water sports, and a lively beach-party culture
- Andaman — coral reefs, scuba diving, and untouched shorelines
- Pondicherry — French colonial charm with a laid-back seaside promenade
- Gokarna and Varkala — quieter, more contemplative coastal escapes away from the crowds
- Beach packages can be paired with a short backwater or hill-station extension for travellers who want variety within a single trip
Honeymoon Tour Packages
Newlyweds looking for a romantic escape often choose Kashmir, Kerala, Andaman, Coorg, or Udaipur. Our honeymoon packages are built around candle-light dinners, private houseboat stays, couple spa sessions, and scenic drives, ensuring the trip feels special from start to finish.
We pay close attention to pacing on honeymoon itineraries in particular — these are trips where couples generally prefer fewer, longer stops over a packed sightseeing schedule. A Kashmir honeymoon, for example, might centre around a houseboat stay on Dal Lake and a quiet retreat in Gulmarg or Pahalgam, while a Kerala honeymoon leans into backwater cruises and a beach stay to close out the trip. For couples who want a blend of romance and heritage, Udaipur’s lakeside palaces and rooftop dining make it one of our most consistently requested honeymoon destinations.
- Private houseboat stays and candle-light dinners are among the most-requested add-ons
- Couple spa sessions and scenic drives are typically built into the second half of the itinerary, once the trip has settled into a slower rhythm
- Destinations are usually chosen in pairs — a hill or lake destination combined with a beach or backwater stretch
Adventure Tour Packages
For thrill-seekers, we offer adventure-focused itineraries in Rishikesh, Manali, Leh-Ladakh, Spiti Valley, and Auli. These packages include activities like:
- River rafting on the Ganges and Beas rivers
- Paragliding over scenic valleys
- High-altitude trekking and camping under the stars
- Motorbike expeditions across mountain passes
These itineraries are especially popular with younger travellers and groups of friends looking for an adrenaline-filled escape. Ladakh and Spiti Valley, in particular, attract travellers looking for something more demanding than a standard sightseeing trip — high mountain passes, stark landscapes, and long drives that are as much a part of the experience as the destinations themselves. Because altitude and weather conditions change quickly in these regions, our adventure tour packages are planned with realistic acclimatisation days and buffer time built in, rather than an overly ambitious schedule that leaves no room for delays.
Wildlife and Nature Tours Packages
India is home to some of the world’s most remarkable national parks. Our wildlife packages cover Ranthambore, Jim Corbett, Kaziranga, Bandhavgarh, and Periyar, offering jeep safaris and guided nature walks led by experienced local naturalists who know exactly where and when to spot the region’s most elusive wildlife.
Timing matters a great deal on a wildlife trip, and this is where local expertise makes a real difference. Ranthambore and Bandhavgarh are best known for tiger sightings, and our naturalists plan safari slots around the times of day when sightings are most likely, rather than simply booking the first available slot. Kaziranga, on the other hand, is built around its population of one-horned rhinoceroses and is best experienced with a mix of jeep and elephant-back safaris, while Periyar in Kerala offers a gentler, boat-based wildlife experience set against the backdrop of the Western Ghats.
- Ranthambore and Bandhavgarh for tiger sightings and dense forest safaris timed around peak activity hours
- Jim Corbett for a mix of wildlife spotting and riverside lodge stays
- Kaziranga for one-horned rhinoceros sightings across sprawling grasslands, best explored with jeep and elephant-back safaris
- Periyar for gentler, boat-based wildlife viewing set against the Western Ghats
Pilgrimage and Spiritual Tour Packages
For travellers seeking spiritual fulfilment, we design pilgrimage packages to Varanasi, Rishikesh, Amritsar, Tirupati, Vaishno Devi, and the Char Dham circuit. These journeys are planned with comfortable logistics in mind, since pilgrimage travel often involves long distances, high-altitude terrain, and tightly scheduled religious observances.
The Char Dham circuit, covering Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath, is one of the more physically demanding pilgrimages we plan, and our itineraries account for altitude, weather windows, and the physical stamina required at each stop. Varanasi and Amritsar, by contrast, are more accessible city-based pilgrimages, where the focus is on experiencing the Ganga Aarti or the Golden Temple’s langar and evening rituals without the logistical strain of a mountain journey. Across all our pilgrimage packages, we prioritise comfortable, well-located accommodation, since these trips often involve early mornings and long days of travel.
- Varanasi and Rishikesh for riverside ceremonies and spiritual immersion along the Ganges
- Amritsar for the Golden Temple and its langar community-kitchen experience
- Tirupati and Vaishno Devi for well-organised temple-visit logistics that account for crowds and timing
- Char Dham circuit for a comprehensive high-altitude pilgrimage covering Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath
Royal and Heritage Tour Packages
Rajasthan remains one of the most requested regions for heritage tourism. Our packages covering Jaipur, Udaipur, Jodhpur, and Jaisalmer include stays in heritage havelis, guided fort tours, and cultural evenings featuring folk music and dance — an immersive way to experience the grandeur of India’s royal past.
Each city in this circuit tells a different chapter of Rajasthan’s history. Jaipur’s City Palace and Amber Fort showcase the grandeur of the Kachwaha rulers, Udaipur’s palaces sit dramatically on the edge of Lake Pichola, Jodhpur’s Mehrangarh Fort towers over the blue-washed old city, and Jaisalmer’s sandstone fort rises straight out of the Thar Desert. Many of our heritage packages include an overnight desert camp near Jaisalmer, complete with folk performances and a starlit dinner, as a fitting close to the Rajasthan circuit.
- Jaipur for its forts, palaces, and vibrant bazaars
- Udaipur for lake-facing palaces and romantic old-city charm
- Jodhpur for the imposing Mehrangarh Fort and the blue-hued old city
- Jaisalmer for desert safaris, camel rides, and an overnight camp beneath the stars
International Tour Packages
Alongside domestic holidays, Book My Holiday also curates international tour packages to destinations such as Thailand, Bali, Dubai, Singapore, and Europe, giving travellers the same personalised planning and support they receive for trips within India.
Our approach to international travel mirrors our domestic planning philosophy — itineraries are built around a realistic pace, verified accommodation, and clear guidance on visas, currency, and local customs. Thailand and Bali remain popular for travellers seeking a mix of beaches and culture at accessible prices, Dubai appeals to those looking for a shorter, luxury-leaning break, and our Europe packages are typically multi-country circuits designed for travellers visiting the continent for the first time.
- Thailand and Bali for beach resorts, island-hopping, and affordable luxury
- Dubai and Singapore for city breaks combining shopping, skyline views, and family-friendly attractions
- Europe for multi-country circuits covering iconic cities and countryside alike
- Visa assistance and destination-specific guidance included as standard on every international package
Group Tour Packages
Travelling in a group — whether with college friends, extended family, or a corporate team — comes with its own set of requirements, and our group tour packages are built around exactly that. These itineraries are priced competitively for larger groups, include flexible meal plans, and cover destinations ranging from Rajasthan and Himachal to Kerala and the Northeast.
A dedicated tour manager usually accompanies larger groups, which takes the guesswork out of coordinating hotels, meals, and daily schedules for everyone involved. This becomes particularly valuable with mixed-age groups, where the itinerary needs to balance sightseeing with enough downtime to suit both energetic younger travellers and those who prefer a slower pace. For corporate groups, we also factor in requirements like conference-ready accommodation and team-building activities alongside the core sightseeing plan.
- Competitive group pricing that scales favourably with larger numbers
- Flexible meal plans that accommodate mixed dietary preferences within one group
- A dedicated tour manager for larger groups to coordinate hotels, meals, and daily schedules
- Destination flexibility spanning Rajasthan, Himachal, Kerala, and the Northeast
- Additional planning support for corporate groups, including conference-ready stays and team-building activities
Weekend and Short Getaway Packages
Not every holiday needs a long break from work. For travellers who want a quick refresh, we also put together short two to three-day getaway packages to destinations within easy reach of Kanpur and Indore, such as Bhopal, Pachmarhi, Mount Abu, and Lucknow. These shorter packages are especially popular with working professionals looking to make the most of a long weekend without spending too much time in transit.
Because travel time is limited on these trips, we focus on destinations that are reachable within a few hours by road or a short flight, and on itineraries that avoid unnecessary backtracking. Pachmarhi, for example, works well as a compact hill-and-nature escape from Indore, while Lucknow offers a culturally rich, food-focused weekend trip from Kanpur without requiring extensive advance planning.
- Bhopal for lakes, history, and easy accessibility from Indore
- Pachmarhi for cool forested hills and waterfalls within Madhya Pradesh
- Mount Abu for a compact hill-station escape from Rajasthan’s heat
- Lucknow for heritage architecture and a renowned culinary scene
South India Tour Packages
South India offers a completely different flavour of travel, and our packages cover Kerala’s backwaters, Tamil Nadu’s temple towns, Karnataka’s coffee estates, and Andhra Pradesh’s coastal charm.
- A houseboat stay in Alleppey
- A heritage walk through Mahabalipuram
- A quiet morning among Coorg’s coffee plantations
These are the kind of experiences that keep travellers coming back to the South again and again. Munnar, Wayanad, Ooty, and Kodaikanal also feature heavily in our South India itineraries for travellers who want cooler weather alongside lush greenery. What makes South India particularly rewarding for repeat travellers is how easily these regions combine — a single trip can move from the backwaters of Kerala to the hill stations of the Western Ghats to the temple architecture of Tamil Nadu, all without excessively long transfers between stops.
Northeast India Tour Packages
The Northeast remains one of India’s most underrated regions, and we have seen growing interest in packages covering Meghalaya, Sikkim, Assam, and Arunachal Pradesh.
- Living root bridges in Cherrapunji
- Buddhist monasteries in Gangtok
- Sprawling tea gardens in Assam
- The sheer remoteness and untouched beauty of Arunachal Pradesh
Our Northeast packages are planned with extra care around permits and road conditions, since travel logistics here can be more demanding than in other parts of the country. Meghalaya’s living root bridges and waterfalls require a fair amount of walking and are best planned with a realistic pace rather than a rushed day trip, while Arunachal Pradesh often requires an Inner Line Permit that we help arrange well in advance. Sikkim, by comparison, offers a slightly gentler introduction to the region, with Gangtok’s monasteries and viewpoints of Kanchenjunga accessible without the same permit complexity.
Golden Triangle and Classic Circuits
For first-time visitors to India, especially international travellers, the Golden Triangle covering Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur remains one of the most requested circuits. It offers a compact introduction to Mughal architecture, Rajasthani culture, and the energy of the national capital, all within a manageable travel radius.
The appeal of this circuit lies in how much it delivers within a short timeframe — Delhi’s blend of Mughal-era monuments and modern city life, Agra’s Taj Mahal and Agra Fort, and Jaipur’s palaces and bustling bazaars together offer a genuinely representative first impression of India. We also offer extended versions of this circuit that loop in Varanasi or Udaipur for travellers who have a little more time to spare, turning a standard introductory trip into a fuller cultural journey.
- Delhi for a blend of Mughal-era monuments and modern city life
- Agra for the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort
- Jaipur for palaces, forts, and Rajasthani craft markets
- Extended versions available looping in Varanasi or Udaipur for a fuller cultural circuit
Budget-Friendly Holiday Packages
Not every good holiday needs a large budget. We also curate cost-effective packages that focus on value rather than luxury, using well-rated budget accommodation, shared transport options, and itineraries that prioritise experiences over extravagance.
These packages are particularly popular with students, young professionals, and first-time solo travellers who want to explore India without overspending. The savings typically come from smarter choices rather than cut corners — opting for well-located budget hotels over premium properties, using shared or public transport where practical, and building itineraries around free or low-cost local experiences alongside the major paid attractions. Even at a lower price point, our team makes sure that safety and reliability are never compromised.
- Well-rated budget accommodation vetted for cleanliness and safety, not just price
- Shared or public transport options that keep costs down without sacrificing convenience
- Itineraries built around experiences rather than extravagance, so travellers still get the highlights that matter
- Safety and reliability maintained at every price point, even at the lower end of the budget spectrum
Exploring India’s Culture, Cuisine, and Local Experiences
A big part of what makes a holiday memorable is the local flavour, quite literally. Our packages are built to include time for travellers to explore regional cuisines, whether that is a Rajasthani thali in Jaipur, seafood by the coast in Goa, or a traditional Kashmiri wazwan in Srinagar.
We also try to build in time for local markets, craft villages, and cultural performances wherever possible, since these small additions often end up being the most talked-about part of a trip. This attention to detail is part of what our travellers mean when they describe us as a reliable holiday package provider rather than just another booking platform.
Solo Travel and Women-Friendly Packages
Solo travel has grown steadily in popularity, and we now design dedicated solo and women-friendly packages for travellers who want the freedom of an independent trip without giving up safety and support.
These itineraries typically:
- Join travellers into small, curated groups
- Use verified accommodation with strong safety records
- Include a local point of contact throughout the journey
Popular solo travel destinations include Rishikesh, Himachal Pradesh, Goa, and Kerala, all of which offer a good mix of activities, community, and comfort for someone travelling on their own.

Tips for Choosing the Best Holiday Package
When comparing packages from different providers, it helps to look beyond the headline price. A few things worth checking before you commit:
- What is actually included — meals, sightseeing, entry tickets, and transport can add up quickly if they are not part of the base package
- Cancellation and rescheduling policy — especially important if you are booking well in advance
- Reviews from earlier travellers — a strong track record is often the clearest signal of reliability
- 24×7 support availability — this tells you a lot about how the agency handles issues once you have paid and are on the road
- Group size and flexibility — smaller group tours tend to offer more flexibility and a more personal experience, while larger groups can sometimes bring the per-person cost down
If you are travelling with elderly family members or young children, it is worth mentioning this while booking, since the pace of the itinerary and the choice of accommodation can be adjusted accordingly.
Best Time to Book Your Holiday Package
Timing plays a big role in getting both good prices and good weather:
- Hill stations are best visited between March and June, or during the winter months if you want to see snowfall
- Beach destinations like Goa and the Andaman Islands are most pleasant from November to February
- Wildlife sanctuaries generally have their safari season between October and June, though some parks close briefly during the monsoon
- Booking window — reserving your package at least four to six weeks in advance, especially during peak season, usually helps secure better rates and availability
Why Choose Holiday Packages Instead of Planning Everything Yourself?
Planning a trip independently can be exciting, but it often involves hours of research, hotel comparisons, transportation bookings, and itinerary planning. This is exactly why so many travellers turn to the best holiday packages in India rather than piecing a trip together on their own — a well-designed package eliminates these challenges by bringing everything together in one convenient plan.
A professionally designed holiday package helps you save time, reduce travel expenses, and enjoy a stress-free vacation. From hotel reservations and sightseeing tours to transfers and travel assistance, everything is managed for you so you can focus on enjoying your journey.
With Book My Holiday, every package is thoughtfully curated to ensure comfort, convenience, and unforgettable experiences.
