India
Colourful, chaotic and breathlessly beautiful. India is simply incomparable. In this vast country of over a billion people, everything jostles for your attention — an elephant plodding along a dusty street, the swirl of a sari, the drama of an epic religious festival and the exotic scent of spices in a crowded market.
On our small group India tours, you’ll also discover beauty in the country’s diverse scenery — from the snowy Himalayas of the north to the sun-kissed beaches of the south. And in between, you’ll be swept away by India’s energetic cities, picturesque villages and incomparable historic sites, including the iconic Taj Mahal.

These three- and four-star hotel-based, "soft adventure" trips concentrate on the culture, history, and natural attributes of our destination. Though there are no strenuous activities built into these tours, you need to be prepared for some full days with some early starts, plenty of walking on uneven surfaces through villages, cities and archaeological sites, and not a lot of "down time." Independence, reasonable fitness, and an ability to be steady on one's feet are critical in order for you to get the most out of these programs.

These tours are considerably more strenuous than our Level 1 & 2 "cultural" tours and feature walks/hikes on undulating and uneven pathways for 3-7 hours at a leisurely pace. We don't hike every day, but participants should be fit and active and accustomed to trail walking, possibly in remote locations, and be prepared to engage in a conditioning regimen prior to the trip. Altitude may also be a factor on some tours, though none of our hiking tours currently occur above 3000m/10,000 ft. These are hotel-based tours with no camping, and you are required to only carry what you need for the day.

Jonathan Hodgson
Jonathan has lived much of his life dedicated to the idea that he would rather have a wealth of experiences than a wealth of riches. Having taken up a nomadic lifestyle shortly after finishing his undergraduate degree, he has been on the move on and off over the last 25+ years. The wanderlust has taken him to basing himself in places such as Scotland, Australia and Uzbekistan, and to visiting many more locations around our planet. Now (sort of) settled in Vancouver with his wonderful (and patient) family, he still loves the idea of having the world as his office and always enjoys trying to capture the essence of the locations he travels and tours in with his photography.

FAVOURITE DESTINATION:
Some of my favourite tours just come into being suddenly as a result of a request; someone will ask me to put together an itinerary that will include the highlights of several countries and the next thing you know we have, for example, a tour to Uruguay, Paraguay & Bolivia, or Lesotho, Namibia & Botswana. Sometimes I will be asked to arrange a detailed itinerary to just one region within a country - like a close up look at Sicily or Crete or the Basque Country or Newfoundland. Without the keen curiosity that so many of you travellers have, none of these "spontaneous" tours would come into being. But they do.

Frequently Asked Questions
ASK A QUESTION
01. Do you need a visa to travel to India?
The majority of travellers require a visa to enter and exit India. The most common and convenient option is to apply online for an e-Tourist visa. These are valid for one year from the date of issue and can be used for a stay of up to 90 days per visit (multiple visits are permitted).
02. Is India safe?
For the most part, India is a safe country to travel around and overall crime rates are below many western countries. As in many places, travellers are often the targets of petty crimes (such as thefts and pickpocketing), especially on public transport, cities, and in crowded areas. As such, you should take the same precautions you would in your home country.
03. When is the best time to visit India
Overall, the best time to visit India is between October-March. During these months, the weather is cooler and dry, making it an ideal time to visit tourist sites in areas such as Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. In the south, temperatures are fiercely hot during May and June, so places such as Goa and Kerala are best visited from January-March.
If you’re travelling to the Himalayas, time your visit from March onwards after the snow has begun to melt.
