Your Guide To Choosing India Tour Packages

16 Jan 2023

Are you planning to explore India? Or are you just heading out for the weekend?

No matter what you decide, planning your trip can be an extensive process if you venture down that road yourself. Finding the perfect accommodation, booking your travel tickets, adhering to the COVID-19 protocols and choosing what to see can be difficult while heading to an unknown destination.

However, with the right India tour package with the right travel agency, your vacation planning can be just as breezy as the beaches in India!

This guide takes you through everything you need to know while choosing an India holiday package.

How do you choose the right India tour package?

Budget

The first thing you need to consider is how much you're willing to spend for your vacation. Tour packages can vary greatly depending on where you travel and what you want to see when you get there.

If you're planning a budgeted trip, you can choose packages closer to home or stay in comfortable 3-star hotels. However, if you've been saving up for your trip and don't mind spending a bit, you can stay in 4 or 5-star hotels or luxury spa resorts.

REMEMBER - Include food and sightseeing expenses in your budget, not just accommodation and travel tickets.

Skyway Tour is one of the best tour operators in India. We offer customised travel packages that fit your budget and needs!

How many people are going?

Travelling solo? Travelling with your family? Deciding how many people are going is crucial for your budget.

Making solo travel plans can be considerably easier compared to a family vacation. Choosing a travel agency, especially if you're making plans for an entire family, is much easier as travel agencies are well-equipped to deal with family and group bookings!

How long are you staying?

Once you have decided on a budget and how many people are going, choose how long you can take a vacation. Consider everyone's schedules and decide on a time that is convenient for everyone.

If you're planning a long vacation for 2 weeks to 1 month, we suggest you plan in advance and save up on booking costs so that you can spend the rest of your budget on exploring new places! You can visit several places in India if you plan to vacation for a month.

What do you want to see?

This is the best part! Pick a destination based on your taste, budget and group interests.

If you want to take a leisure trip by the beach, you can travel to Pondicherry, Mahabalipuram, Kovalam, and Varkala.

If you're in the mood to explore India's rich culture and history, you can travel to Jaipur, Hampi or Bhubaneshwar.

For adrenaline junkies, you can head to Badami and Dandeli. Or, if you prefer the quiet mountains, you can head to Kashmir and Himachal!

You can book hill station packages to chill destinations like Munnar, Ooty, and Coorg.

Whether you decide to head to a beach or the mountains, Skyway Tour offers India holiday packages to numerous places in the country.

Group tour or private tour?

Group tours are a fun experience, especially if you love meeting new people! You can travel solo or with your group and head to new locations with a larger group.

Though group tours are budget-friendly, there will be a fixed itinerary and little flexibility to explore much else. Private tours can be more expensive; however, you do have the flexibility to change your timings as you please and explore different places at your own pace.

Pick the perfect package

Once you have your budget, the number of people and the destination in mind, you can choose a travel package that suits your needs.

Make sure to choose a travel package that includes accommodation and meals so that you only need to think about exploring new places.

Travel packages should also provide you with transportation options and local guides within the city to make it easier for you to explore.

A few travel packages also include popular sightseeing options in the area, which is a bonus.

Things to keep in mind:

  • Compare rates between packages:
    Don't go by the prices of the package alone. Choose a package that offers value for money with its additional offerings.
  • Travel Insurance:
    Choose an insurance plan that covers medical, theft and cancellations to protect yourself from unforeseen situations.
  • Vaccination:
    After the COVID-19 pandemic, most places require a double vaccination certificate before travelling or entering various tourist attractions. Ensure you have all your medical documents before you leave home.
  • Carry cash:
    While most places accept cards and digital payment options, it's best to carry cash with you in case places don't accept cards or your mobile data gives up on you at the worst possible moment.

Benefits of choosing the right India tour package with a travel agency:

  • Saves you the time of researching accommodation, transportation, and things you need to know about your destination.
  • Travel agencies can make planning your vacation stress-free by taking care of all the essential details.
  • Comprehensive tour packages are affordable and include many benefits you would not receive if you planned your trip yourself.
  • All your trip planning is done by experienced professionals who have worked in the travel industry for a long time and can help you with any problem you face.
  • Reputable travel agencies offer 24/7 support before and during your trip so that you're not alone in an unknown destination.
  • Travel agents have network of partners across the country that can offer you advice on local flavours, cultural shows, and local events.
