About our India Holidays

From Megasthenes to Michael Palin, India has enthralled travellers for literally thousands of years, and its modern incarnation remains a country of incomparable fascination – whether you’re coming for the first time, or as a seasoned veteran, TransIndus are the UK specialists as the leading India travel company can help you make the most of the destination.

The main problem facing any would-be traveller to the subcontinent, experienced or first timer, is deciding where to start. The answer depends on what style of holiday to India you have in mind, of course. But roughly speaking, if this is your first tour of India you’ll probably be setting your sights on one of two regions: either the “Golden Triangle” of Delhi (the capital), Agra (site of the Taj Mahal) and Jaipur (India’s flamboyant ‘Pink City’), with a possible extension deeper into the desert state of Rajasthan or Kerala and the historic highlights of neighbouring Tamil Nadu.

India Regions

Golden Triangle

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.

Golden Triangle

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.

Golden Triangle

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’.
