Why German Travellers Love India
India offers what every well-travelled German guest is looking for: depth. The Mughal architecture of Agra and Delhi, the desert forts of Rajasthan, the spice-scented backwaters of Kerala, the Himalayas of Ladakh — each region is its own country in everything but name. With direct Lufthansa flights from Frankfurt and Munich, India is no further than the Caribbean — and infinitely more layered.
We have welcomed travellers from Hamburg, Berlin, München, Köln and Stuttgart for over a decade. Every India tour package from Germany we create is fully private, planned around your interests, and supported by a single point of contact in India.
Best India Itineraries for German Travellers
The Classic Golden Triangle (7 nights)

Rajasthan Heritage Circuit (12 nights)
Delhi → Jaipur → Pushkar → Jodhpur → Jaisalmer → Udaipur → Mumbai. Stay in heritage palaces, ride camels in the Thar Desert, and experience Rajput hospitality at its finest.
South India & Kerala (10 nights)
