Exploring India

If you’ve got the time, we totally recommend that you get some travel in before or after the wedding. India is a stunning and incredibly diverse place, and early to mid March is just about the best time of the year to visit. Let us know where you plan to go — we can connect you with a super helpful tour provider whom we and others have used before.

Places to go

  • The Golden Triangle

    Delhi, Rajasthan (especially Jaipur and Udaipur) and the Taj Mahal is a very popular trip — and accessible by train, car or very short flights.

    This is your classic India: temples, colour and people all around.

  • The South

    India’s south feels like a different country. Goa and Kerala are a few hours’ flight from Delhi, and you can find lush forests, gorgeous beaches and lakes, and a more relaxing experience.

  • Up North

    If you want cool weather and mountains, the Tibetan home of Dharamshala is a real highlight. Ladakh and Manali are epic but it will likely be too cold.

  • Iconic cities

    Mumbai is super cool, but in some ways it is even more hectic than Delhi. Think cool bars, galleries and shops.

    If you’re looking for the most spiritual experience with a full dose of India, nothing tops Varanasi and Amritsar.

  • Safari

    There are epic national parks scattered around India, where you can find Bengal Tigers, Asian Elephants, Indian Leopards and One-Horned Rhinos, among other amazing animals. Some of these parks might be closed in March, but some should be open.

Exploring Delhi

Delhi sometimes gets a bad wrap because of its massive population and the air pollution in the winter months. But there’s actually a huge amount to see in India’s capital, and in March, the air is clear and the sky is blue!

In a few months’ time we’ll update this page with the best places to see, eat, drink and shop in New Delhi. We’re talking gardens, tombs, temples and shops; cafes, restaurants and bars.

And if you’re brave, we’ll book you in for a food tour of Old Delhi with our favourite guide, Pradeep. Pradeep also does a tour that isn’t food-focused if that is more your vibe. Old Delhi is definitely worth experiencing!
