India Tour Packages From USA
Seventeen Years of Private India Travel Expertise - Crafted Around You, Every Time
India Tour Packages Designed Exclusively for American Travellers
Planning a trip to India from the United States is one of travel's most significant undertakings and one of its most rewarding. India is not a destination you approach casually. It rewards preparation, expertise, and above all the right partner: someone who knows the country deeply, understands what American travellers need, and can translate the vast complexity of the subcontinent into a journey that is seamless, personal, and profoundly memorable.
UK India Tourism has been that partner for American travellers since 2008. Founded by Adarsh Gupta, an India travel specialist with personal, on-the-ground knowledge of every major destination in the country, we design exclusively private, entirely bespoke India tour packages. We do not operate group tours. We do not have fixed departure dates. We do not fit you into an existing itinerary. Every tour we build is designed from scratch around the specific traveller: their interests, their pace, their travel companions, their dreams.
This page is your guide to India tour packages from the USA, the itineraries we build, the experiences we create, the destinations we know best, and the reasons that American travellers consistently choose UK India Tourism as their partner for this journey.
Why American Travellers Choose UK India Tourism
Genuine India Expertise - Not a General Travel Agency
There is a critical difference between a general travel agency that offers India alongside fifty other destinations, and a specialist that knows India exclusively, comprehensively, and passionately. UK India Tourism is the latter. India is all we do. Every member of our team has deep personal experience of the destinations we sell. Our founder Adarsh Gupta has spent seventeen years building a network of guides, drivers, hotels, and local contacts across every region of India, relationships built on trust, maintained over years, and leveraged on behalf of every client we work with. This depth of India-specific expertise is the foundation of everything we offer.
Truly Private & Bespoke - Built Around You
When we say bespoke, we mean it without qualification. Your UK India Tourism tour begins with a conversation - about who you are, who you are travelling with, what you want to experience, what matters most, and what your India dream looks like. We listen carefully. We ask the right questions. And we design an itinerary that is yours alone. If you want to spend four days in Varanasi instead of two, we build that in. If you want to skip a destination entirely and go deeper somewhere else, we redesign. If you want to add a private cooking class in a Jaipur haveli or a dawn elephant encounter in Rajasthan, we arrange it. This is travel on your terms, not ours.
Expert English Speaking Private Guides
The quality of your local guide is the single greatest determinant of the quality of your India experience. A great guide does not recite facts at monuments. A great guide tells you the stories behind the stories, the human dramas, the architectural decisions, the historical context that transforms a beautiful building into a living narrative. Our guides are deeply knowledgeable historians, cultural specialists, and storytellers. Many have been working with UK India Tourism for a decade or more. They speak excellent English, they understand the American sensibility, and they bring genuine passion to their work. When our American clients write to thank us after their journey, the guide is almost always the first thing they mention.
Handpicked Accommodation - From Palaces to Boutique Havelis
We know our hotels personally not from brochures or online reviews, but from direct experience. This means we know which specific room at the Oberoi Amarvilas has the most extraordinary view of the Taj Mahal. We know which heritage haveli in Jodhpur has the rooftop terrace that our American clients consistently photograph. We know which houseboat operator in Kerala delivers the most beautiful and authentic experience on the backwaters. We work with properties across the full range from flagship Taj and Oberoi luxury hotels to intimate family-owned heritage properties that offer a level of personalised warmth that larger hotels cannot match. Every accommodation recommendation is personal, tested, and confident.
Private Transportation Throughout
Every UK India Tourism tour includes a private, air-conditioned vehicle and professional driver for the entire duration of your journey in India. You are met at your arrival airport with a name board, accompanied to your hotel, and from that moment your transport is sorted for every city transfer, every monument visit, every excursion, every onward journey. Distances in India are significant and road conditions varied; having a reliable private vehicle and experienced driver is not a luxury addition to an India tour. It is the foundation of a comfortable, stress-free experience.
Round the Clock Support
When you are travelling twelve time zones from home, the reassurance of knowing that a real, dedicated person, not a call centre, not a chatbot, is available to you if anything goes wrong is genuinely priceless. UK India Tourism provides personal, responsive support for every client throughout their journey. Any issue - a flight disruption, a health concern, an accommodation problem, a last-minute change of plan, is handled by our team immediately and effectively. This commitment to genuine support, rather than theoretical support, is something our American clients value deeply and return for.
Our Signature India Tour Packages From USA
Every UK India Tourism package is built to order. But these signature itinerary concepts, developed over years of working with American clients, offer a starting point for imagining your own journey. Each can be extended, shortened, combined, or completely reshaped around your specific interests.
The Classic India — 10 to 14 Days
Delhi · Agra · Fatehpur Sikri · Jaipur · Ranthambore National Park
The essential India experience for first-time American visitors. This itinerary covers the country's greatest hits with the depth and pace that first-timers need time to absorb the Red Fort and the old quarters of Delhi; a pre-dawn arrival at the Taj Mahal before the crowds arrive; the abandoned Mughal city of Fatehpur Sikri at golden hour; the Amber Fort and City Palace of Jaipur; and a private jeep safari in Ranthambore to track wild tigers among the ruins of a 10th-century fort. Perfectly balanced. Deeply satisfying. An introduction that will leave you planning your return before you have even left.
Best for: First-time visitors, couples, families, all age groups | Travel style: Cultural, heritage, wildlife
Royal Rajasthan in Depth — 14 to 18 Days
Delhi · Agra · Jaipur · Pushkar · Jodhpur · Jaisalmer · Udaipur
For the American traveller who wants to go beyond the Golden Triangle and immerse themselves in the full world of the Maharajas. From the Pink City of Jaipur to the Blue City of Jodhpur, from the Golden City of Jaisalmer rising from the Thar Desert to the lake-jewelled romance of Udaipur, this is Rajasthan in its full, breath-taking sweep. Private palace hotel stays throughout. Camel safari at sunset over the sand dunes of Jaisalmer. Rooftop dinners overlooking the illuminated Mehrangarh Fort. A private boat ride at dusk on Lake Pichola past the floating Taj Lake Palace. This is the Rajasthan that lives in the American imagination, made beautifully real.

North & South India — The Great Contrast: 18 to 21 Days
Delhi · Agra · Jaipur · Varanasi · Kochi · Munnar · Alleppey · Kovalam
India's greatest journey: the contrast between the monumental Mughal north and the lush, tropical south. From the desert fort cities of Rajasthan to the backwater houseboats of Kerala. From the dawn fire ceremony on the Ganges at Varanasi to sunrise yoga overlooking the tea gardens of Munnar. This tour is designed for Americans with three weeks available and a genuine hunger for India's full spectrum. It is our most popular long-form itinerary for American travellers and consistently generates the most effusive client feedback we receive.
Best for: Experienced travellers, those with 3 weeks, couples, solo travellers | Travel style: Cultural, wellness, luxury
India Wildlife Safari Circuit — 10 to 14 Days

Then south to Ranthambore in Rajasthan, where Bengal tigers roam among the atmospheric ruins of a medieval fort. The Golden Triangle for cultural context, the Taj Mahal, Jaipur's palaces before flying home. A perfectly structured two-week journey that delivers both the wild India and the iconic India in a single, deeply satisfying arc.
Best for: Wildlife enthusiasts, photographers, nature lovers, post-Africa safari travellers | Travel style: Wildlife, nature, heritage
Himalayan Wellness & Spiritual Journey — 10 to 14 Days
Delhi · Rishikesh · Dharamshala · Amritsar
For the American traveller drawn to India's profound spiritual and wellness traditions. This is the India that has been transforming seekers for centuries and continues to do so with remarkable power. Rishikesh on the Ganges for yoga immersion, Ayurvedic treatments, and white-water rafting on the sacred river. Dharamshala in the mountains of Himachal Pradesh, home of the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan Buddhist community in exile. And Amritsar, where the Golden Temple, the holiest site in Sikhism and one of the most beautiful buildings in India, stands in shimmering gold above a sacred pool. This journey is designed not just to show you India, but to change you.
Best for: Solo travellers, wellness seekers, spiritual travellers, yoga practitioners | Travel style: Wellness, spiritual, cultural
Luxury India Honeymoon — 12 to 16 Days
Delhi · Agra · Jaipur · Jodhpur · Udaipur · Kerala
India is one of the world's most romantic destinations and for American couples seeking a honeymoon that is genuinely unlike anything their friends have done, it is matchless.

Private rooftop dinners, candlelit Mughal garden evenings, a private houseboat on the Kerala backwaters.

Practical Guide for Americans Planning an India Tour
Best Time to Visit India From the USA
October through March is the prime season for most of India, comfortable temperatures across the north and Rajasthan, excellent wildlife viewing conditions, and the most agreeable conditions for extended sightseeing. November and February are particularly fine months, combining good weather with slightly lower tourist volumes at the major sites. Kerala is magnificent year-round; during the monsoon (June–September), the backwaters swell and the landscape turns a vivid, saturated green that is extraordinarily beautiful. The Himalayas - Rishikesh, Dharamshala, Ladakh are best visited April through June and September through October. For American families working around school holidays, October–November half-term and February–March are the ideal windows.
e-Visa for US Citizens
American citizens require a visa to enter India. The excellent news is that India's e-Visa system makes this straightforward: US passport holders can apply online, typically receive approval within 72 hours, and never need to visit a consulate or embassy. The e-Visa covers tourism, business, and medical visits. UK India Tourism provides comprehensive visa guidance to all American clients as part of our pre-departure process, we walk you through the application step by step.
Flights From the USA to India
Direct and one-stop flights connect major American cities to Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Chennai. Air India, United Airlines, American Airlines, Lufthansa, Emirates, and Etihad are among the carriers offering competitive routings from US hubs including New York JFK, Chicago O'Hare, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Houston, and Washington DC. Flight times range from approximately 14 to 19 hours depending on routing and layovers. Most American clients arrive into Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport, which serves as the natural gateway to northern India and the Golden Triangle.
India Tour Package Pricing for Americans
India tour package costs vary significantly by duration, travel style, and accommodation preference. As an honest guide for American travellers planning their budget:
• Comfortable mid-range private tour (10–14 days): approximately $3,500–$5,000 per person, including accommodation, private guide and driver, internal transfers, and entrance fees (international flights excluded).
• Luxury private tour with heritage hotels (10–14 days): approximately $4,500–$7,000 per person.
• Ultra-luxury tour with palace hotels and premium experiences (14–21 days): $25,000–$55,000+ per person.
India offers exceptional value at every level relative to comparable experiences in Europe or the Americas. Palace hotel stays, private guides, and extraordinary dining experiences are available at price points that would be simply impossible to replicate in London, Paris, or New York. We are transparent about costs from the very first conversation, no hidden charges, no commission-driven hotel recommendations, no surprises.
Time Zones: Planning From the USA
India Standard Time (IST) is GMT+5:30 - a single time zone covering the entire country, which simplifies planning. From the US East Coast, India is 9.5 to 10.5 hours ahead depending on daylight saving. From the West Coast, it is 12.5 to 13.5 hours ahead. UK India Tourism's team is accessible across time zones, we work flexibly to ensure American clients can reach us at sensible hours on both sides.
The UK India Tourism Promise to American Travellers
We Know India Personally
Every destination we recommend, every hotel we place you in, every guide we assign you, every experience we build into your itinerary, we know from personal experience. Not from a database. Not from a brochure. From being there. This is the foundation of the trust our clients place in us, and the basis of the recommendations we make with confidence.
We Are Completely Transparent
We tell you exactly what is included and what is not. We tell you honestly about destinations' challenges alongside their beauty. We give you real pricing from the first conversation. We do not hide commissions in hotel recommendations. We do not sell you experiences we would not take ourselves. Our business has grown for seventeen years on the strength of client referrals, that only happens when people trust you completely.
We Build Tours That Fit You - Not the Other Way Around
We have never placed a client in an itinerary that was not designed specifically for them. We never will. The brief conversation that begins every client relationship about who you are, what matters to you, how you like to travel, is the most important conversation we have. Everything that follows flows from it. Your India tour will be yours, uniquely and entirely.
We Are With You All the Way
From your first enquiry to your return flight home, UK India Tourism is with you. Pre-departure, we prepare you thoroughly. During your journey, we are reachable around the clock. After your return, we want to hear everything because the best journeys end with a conversation, and sometimes the beginning of planning the next one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything American travellers ask when choosing an India tour package - answered in full by UK India Tourism's specialists.
Q1. What makes a tailor-made India tour package different from a standard group tour?
A tailor-made India tour package is designed from scratch around you, your travel dates, your interests, your travel companions, your pace, and your budget. Nothing is fixed, nothing is shared with strangers, and nothing is rushed to meet a group schedule. You choose when you wake up, how long you spend at each monument, which experiences matter most to you, and when you want quiet time. A standard group tour operates on fixed dates with a fixed itinerary shared by 20 or 30 people -convenient for some, but fundamentally incompatible with the deep, personal India experience that most American travellers are actually seeking. UK India Tourism designs exclusively tailor-made India tour packages. We have never operated group tours, and we never will.
Q2. How do I build a custom India itinerary from the USA? Where do I start?
Building a custom India itinerary begins with a single conversation. At UK India Tourism, the process is straightforward: you contact us, we ask you about your travel dates, who you are travelling with, what draws you to India, what your must-see experiences are, and what your budget range looks like. From that conversation, we draft a bespoke itinerary with destination suggestions, accommodation recommendations, a day-by-day outline, and a clear cost breakdown. You review it, we refine it based on your feedback, and we continue until the itinerary is exactly right. Most American clients finalise their custom India itinerary within two to four rounds of discussion. There is no obligation at any stage until you are entirely happy and ready to confirm.
Q3. What is the best India tour package for first-time American visitors?
For American first-timers, the Classic Golden Triangle tour India - covering Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur over 10 to 14 days, is the ideal starting point. The Golden Triangle delivers India's greatest introduction: the Mughal monuments of Delhi, the Taj Mahal at sunrise in Agra, the palace cities and bazaars of Jaipur, and optionally a tiger safari in Ranthambore National Park. It covers the country's most iconic experiences in a practical geographic loop, with excellent infrastructure and accommodation options at every level. UK India Tourism designs Golden Triangle packages for American travellers as standalone journeys or as the first chapter of longer India travel packages that extend into Rajasthan, Varanasi, or South India.
Q4. What are the best India tour packages for couples and honeymooners?
India is one of the world's most romantic destinations and for American couples seeking an India honeymoon package that is genuinely unlike anything else, the country delivers an unmatched combination of setting, luxury, and intimacy. Our signature India honeymoon packages combine the romance of Rajasthan, private palace hotel stays in Udaipur, Jodhpur, and Jaipur, with the serene beauty of Kerala's backwaters, where a private houseboat on the Alleppey canals creates one of the most intimate travel experiences anywhere in the world. Rooftop candlelit dinners overlooking the illuminated Mehrangarh Fort. Sunrise Taj Mahal visits before the crowds arrive. Private boat rides on Lake Pichola past the floating Taj Lake Palace. Every element of our India honeymoon packages is designed to be deeply romantic, deeply personal, and genuinely extraordinary.
Q5. Do you offer India family vacation packages for Americans?
Yes - India family vacation packages for American families are one of UK India Tourism's most rewarding specialisms. Multi-generational India family trips require careful design: the right pace, the right mix of activity and rest, accommodation that works across age groups, and experiences that genuinely engage everyone from curious teenagers to grandparents revisiting a country they first saw decades ago. Our India family packages are built around your family's specific dynamics. We ensure that activities are age-appropriate, that travel days are not exhausting, that dining options are varied enough for different palates, and that every family member, from the youngest to the oldest, has moments that belong specifically to them. India, experienced as a family, creates shared memories that last a lifetime.
Q6. What does a Rajasthan tour itinerary typically cover for American travellers?
A full Rajasthan tour itinerary for American travellers typically covers four to six cities across 10 to 14 days, moving through the state's extraordinary succession of royal cities. Jaipur, the Pink City - the Amber Fort, City Palace, and the labyrinthine bazaars of the old walled city. Pushkar, the sacred lake town with its ancient Brahma temple and extraordinary atmosphere. Jodhpur, the Blue City - the colossal Mehrangarh Fort rising above a sea of cobalt-painted houses. Jaisalmer, the Golden City - a living sandstone fort rising from the Thar Desert, with camel safaris at sunset over the sand dunes. And Udaipur, the City of Lakes, the most romantic setting in India, with its shimmering palaces and legendary lake-side hotels. UK India Tourism designs Rajasthan tour itineraries at every pace and every level of luxury, from comfortable mid-range to full palace-hotel opulence.
Q7. Can I combine a Kerala backwater tour with a North India package?
A Kerala backwater tour combined with a North India itinerary is one of the most popular and rewarding India travel packages we design for American travellers and for good reason. The contrast is extraordinary: the Mughal grandeur and desert landscapes of the north against the lush, tropical waterways and ancient Ayurvedic traditions of Kerala's south. A combined North and South India package typically runs 18 to 21 days, moving from Delhi through Agra, Jaipur, and Varanasi before flying south to Kochi and on through Munnar's tea gardens to Alleppey's backwaters. The Kerala houseboat experience, spending a night or two on a beautifully appointed traditional kettuvallam gliding through the canals, is consistently cited by our American clients as among the most quietly magical experiences of their entire India journey.
Q8. Do you offer tiger safari India packages for American wildlife enthusiasts?
Tiger safari India packages are one of UK India Tourism's most popular offerings for American travellers, particularly those who have already experienced Africa's game reserves and are ready for something equally spectacular and considerably more unique. Our wildlife packages combine private jeep safaris in India's finest tiger reserves with the cultural riches of the Golden Triangle. Jim Corbett National Park in Uttarakhand - Asia's oldest national park for three days of dawn and dusk safaris in genuine tiger country. Ranthambore in Rajasthan, where Bengal tigers prowl among the atmospheric ruins of a medieval Rajput fort, creating wildlife encounters available nowhere else on earth. Tadoba National Park in Maharashtra, is known for guaranteed encounters with Tigers. Bandhavgarh in Madhya Pradesh, which has one of the highest tiger densities in India. We also design dedicated India photography tour packages for American wildlife photographers seeking extended time in the reserves with specialist naturalist guides.
Q9. How do I choose a reputable India tour company as an American traveller?
Choosing the best India tour company for American travellers comes down to three things: genuine India expertise, a verifiable track record with international clients, and absolute transparency about what is included and what it costs. Be cautious of general travel agencies that offer India alongside dozens of other destinations, India requires deep specialist knowledge that generalist operators rarely possess. Look for companies with long operational histories, real client testimonials from American travellers specifically, and a team that is responsive, knowledgeable, and clearly invested in your specific journey rather than just your booking. UK India Tourism has been operating as a specialist India tour operator since 2008, has served travellers from across the USA, UK, Australia, Canada, and beyond, and has built its reputation entirely on client referrals and repeat bookings. We would be delighted to be considered as your India travel partner. Start Planning Your India Tour From the USA Today.
