What's included in the EUR 2079 price?

All 22 nights of accommodation with daily breakfast, a private vehicle for the entire journey, and internal logistics. Meals beyond breakfast, monument entry fees, tips, and personal expenses are extra.

Do I need a visa for India?

Most international travellers require an Indian e-visa or tourist visa. We recommend applying 4–6 weeks before travel; check the Indian government's official visa portal for your nationality.

Is the camel ride and overnight desert stay suitable for beginners?

Yes—camel rides are designed for all fitness levels at a leisurely pace. The overnight desert camp is basic but safe; expect simple facilities and an unforgettable experience under the stars.

How much time do we spend at each major site?

The 22-day duration allows 2–3 days in key locations like Agra, Jaisalmer, Khajuraho, and Varanasi, giving time for both major monuments and local exploration without feeling rushed.

Is travel between cities by air or road?

The itinerary uses private vehicle transport between destinations, offering flexibility and the chance to see India's landscapes. Some longer routes may include overnight trains or flights (confirm with your operator).

What should I pack for this trip?

Lightweight, breathable clothing; comfortable walking shoes; sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen); a scarf for temples and sun; light layers for air-conditioned hotels; and a torch for the desert camp. Modest dress is respectful at religious sites.
