India Group Tours

The best time to visit is betwen September to March, the temperatures are cooler then and this makes exploring so much more comfortable! However, anytime of year is great to visit India, if you like the heat, June-August are perfect for that and often have slightly reduced crowds too.

India is a very affordable travel destination. It is a great option if you are travelling on a budget and want your money to stretch far! Booking a tour in India with TruTravels is also a great way to pay for the essentials in advance, so when you get out to India, you only have to pay for the odd meal and any souvenirs you might want!

We recommend 10–14 days to really get to know India. To explore the highlights 14 days is the perfect length but if you want to see the beaches like Goa we'd add an extra week to soak up the sun!

Yes, most travellers need a visa to enter India. This needs to be applied for far inadvance too. Always check your local government pages for the most up to date information.

There are no mandatory vaccinations for most travellers, but commonly recommended ones include Hepatitis A & B, Typhoid, and Tetanus. We always recommend speaking to your local doctors. We're not medically trained, so we can't give official advice on vaccines you need/don't need.

Yes! ATMs are widely available in cities and towns, though rural areas may have fewer options. Visa and Mastercard are usually accepted (especially at bank ATMs), but cash is still king - especially at markets and local stalls. Your Tru Leader will be able to help you with finding the best atms with the lowest charges.

India is home to a huge range of languages, with over 1,600 spoken across the country. While no single national language exists, Hindi and English serve as the official languages of the central government. We always recommend learning a few key phrases - the locals will appreciate it a lot!

No, tap water is not safe to drink. Stick with bottled or filtered water. Ice in larger city hotels and restaurants is often from purified sources, but it’s safest to ask or stick to bottled if you’re unsure.

Yes, India is considered very safe for travellers. The biggest risks are petty theft in crowded markets and navigating hectic traffic (especially motorbikes). Stay aware, use reputable transport, and keep your belongings secure.
