Spend a little longer in India with Distant Journeys, and delve deeper into the heart of this mystical and mesmerising country, with our Grand Tour of India.<\/p>\n

From the foothills of the Himalayas to the palm-fringed beaches of Kerala, our Grand Tour travels the length of this beautiful, complex country and explores in depth the places, people and cultures that define India. We visit shimmering temples and golden palaces, see snow-capped mountains and fragrant spice plantations, vibrant, colourful cities and silent, sleepy backwaters.<\/p>\n

Our 25-day Grand Tour also includes some very special experiences; a ride on the UNESCO Toy Train to Shimla, safaris in Ranthambore National Park and a night onboard a traditional Keralan houseboat.<\/p>\n

There will be a maximum of 24 people per departure on our India touring holidays. As a guest in a small group, you will find both the space and time to enjoy a number of included special experiences that wouldn\u2019t be possible within the confines of a larger group. Journey beyond the best-known sights and enjoy exclusive activities with your travelling companions, who will soon become friends as you make memories that will last a lifetime.<\/p>\n

If you want to extend your stay a little longer, then our relaxing three-night Kerala Beach<\/strong><\/a> stay is the perfect way to bring your Indian adventure to a close.<\/p>\n

Distant Journeys offer Private Touring on the Grand Tour of India, as with our other India tour itineraries. Surprisingly affordable, Private Touring<\/strong><\/a> includes the same wonderfully thought-out itinerary and carefully chosen hotels, with the added bonus of your own friendly and knowledgeable guides, your own private vehicle and your own choice of departure date.<\/p>\n
