History & Culture

History & Culture

Between the towering Himalayas and Kerala’s beach fringed tip, there’s millennias worth of history to discover on a holiday in India. Civilisations rose in the Indus valley over 5,000 years ago and the great empires that have risen and fallen in that time have left impressive reminders of their wake. Considered the birthplace of some of the world’s major religions, the diverse characteristics of India’s culture are evident as you explore its different regions. Festivals hold great significance in India, especially the Holi Festival, a joyous occasion with singing, dancing as powder dye in vibrant colours is thrown on participants symbolising new life

Natural wonders

Natural wonders

India’s landscape is as diverse as its people and ranges from tropical beach paradises to primary forests of teak; to desert tundra’s broken by forts ruled by princes; and to chilly foothills clad in tea plantations opening onto vistas of the world’s highest mountain peaks. India’s wildlife draws visitors from far and wide with hundreds of species of mammals, reptiles and birds found in Ranthambore National Park alone. It is here that you may also spot the beautiful Bengal Tiger.

Culinary delights

Culinary delights

India is a kaleidoscope of cultures, and the food perfectly reflects this.Each region boasts its own delicious speciality so prepare for a deeply satisfying culinary journey. Whether you are sampling incredible street food in Mumbai, the freshest of grilled fish in Kerala or mouth-watering dosa in Tamil Nadu your tastebuds and senses will come alive.

Taj Mahal

Taj Mahal

The Taj Mahal is, simply, as breathtaking as the stories say. India’s most iconic building, a monument to love, and mausoleum to a favourite wife, the Taj Mahal is built entirely from white marble, its exquisite symmetry mirrored only by the reflecting pool that runs down the centre of its gardens.

Rated 4.6 out of 5 based on 5462 reviews

Review for Highlights of India
We added an extra day cut out the,night flight which was a big start.
18 days of the best experience of India an a ton packed tour of life and history of this beautiful country.

However not for the faint hearted. A lot of walking and long bus rides so you need to fairly fit as the temperature was also around 33 degrees + most days.
Highlight. Varanasi where my father came from. To "To tread the boards" where he was born was magic.

Twilight. There really was not one in this vibrant land.

Review for Northern India Discovery
Great insight to a totally different culture and see the great historical sights.

Review for Rajasthan Panorama
Fantastic holiday, great tour guide (Mr B). Overall good hotels and food. Very good flights with Virgin, recommend the upgrade as it is a long time in the sky. Coach transport throughout the three weeks was in a fully a/c modern vehicle with drivers mate keeping us well supplied with water etc.
If you wanted a relaxing break, this holiday is not for you but if you want to experience all India has to offer, sights, sounds, smells and everything else, GO!!

Booking Experience for Christmas in India
excellent, with a few exception on food
Oct 03, 2024
Booking Experience for Inspiring India
Extremely informative and easy to deal with. The booking experience was no problem. This will be the second Wendy Wu booking having been on a previous tour with this Company, although booked as part of a cruise package through another Company. That included a visit to China. The guides were excellent on that tour hence booking directly this time. Keith and Natasha are a credit to Wendy Wu

I wanted to vary the extension and change to different flights. Natasha was really helpful and sorted everything.

Booking Experience for Inspiring India
Dealt with sales consultant Arti who could not have been more helpful.
After several different attempts, with her help we managed to tailor make a guided tour of Rajasthan to meet our requirements.

Booking Experience for Inspiring India
Impeccable! Not pushy selling at all. Wendy Wu Reps and Sales Staff are so knowledgeable, helpful and genuinely friendly. Having been in the customer service side of business all of my working life (and I have just retired this year in July) I recognise a superb team when I meet one and Wendy Wu come out as THE best at Customer Service and Customer Relations I have ever encountered. They are in my opinion the most honest and best at what they do and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone at all
Aug 15, 2024
Booking Experience for Highlights of India
I contacted Keith following the recent roadshow in Southend to discuss a potential booking to India. He couldn’t deal with me at that moment but arranged for Julia to call. She contacted me within 5 minutes and answered my queries regarding changes to the flights. I booked the tour as consequence and received the confirmation shortly afterwards.

FAQ about Holidays in India

  • The best time to visit India is from October to March. Each season offers a different climate depending on where in India you are visiting. During May to September, the weather can be quite hot and humid as well as in monsoon season which is June to September. During the winter months of November to January, the temperatures can drop and the weather can become cooler. Read more about when to visit India

    Did you find this helpful?

  • The food offered on all of our India tours is locally sourced cuisine so that you can get a real taste for authentic ingredients and recipes, especially spices! Local delicacies from markets can also be tried as well as street food from places like Delhi. On request, western food is easily available. India is the ultimate foodie country and each city offers its own significant dish and a different range of flavours, textures and ingredients. Vegan and vegetarian dishes are in abundance with a huge choice for other dietary requirements as well.

    Did you find this helpful?

  • India is now an extremely diverse place and most types of clothing are not restricted, however, women are expected to cover up when visiting places of religious significance like temples. Items such as knee length skirts and shorts are suitable for women (and shorts for men) and these types of clothes are widely accepted. It is always recommended to carry a light cardigan/shawl/pashmina when travelling as well as shoes that are easy to take on and off such as flip flops to be prepared to enter a religious building (some sites will require you to enter bare foot).

    Did you find this helpful?

  • The local currency is Rupees which is a closed currency. It is best to either take AUD or USD in cash to change once you arrive in India, or to withdraw money from an ATM once you arrive in India (charges may apply). Smaller denominations are recommended for taxis, rickshaws, tipping and comfort breaks etc.

    Did you find this helpful?

  • This is highly dependent on where you are travelling to, but distances could vary from 2 – 4 hours. Traffic is extremely busy in a lot of areas of India but on our tours we will always try to travel outside peak times.
