Group size consists of a maximum of 28 people.

Luggage: Each traveller is permitted two pieces of luggage: one suitcase weighing no more than 20kg and one item of hand luggage weighing up to 5kg. Please ensure that your luggage is lockable.

Dress code: When visiting temples or mosques, both men and women should wear modest, non-revealing clothing. Men should opt for full-length trousers and a shirt or t-shirt; women should wear trousers or skirts below the knee with tops that cover shoulders and upper arms. A light scarf or shawl is useful for women to cover heads and shoulders, especially in mosques. Leather items, including belts, shoes, and bags, are not permitted in Jain temples.
Religious sites and homes throughout India require all visitors to remove their shoes to enter.

Fitness level: This tour requires you to comfortably stay on your feet with occasional breaks. You should be able to easily board and disembark from various modes of transport, such as coaches, trains, and boats. Expect to walk around notable sites and climb steps to enjoy stunning views. Sightseeing may involve walking for extended periods, occasionally on steps or uneven surfaces.

Tipping: Tipping is a common practice in India, though it can sometimes be confusing to know who to tip and how much. To make things easier, there is a straightforward tipping policy in place. At the start of your journey, you’ll give a set amount to your national escort, who will manage and distribute tips fairly among key service providers throughout your tour – including local guides and drivers. This system ensures a hassle-free experience for you, while also offering fair recognition to those supporting your trip. The amount has been carefully calculated to balance fairness to local staff with ease for our guests, and it also includes a gratuity for your national escort.
Tipping for minor services, such as hotel porters or restroom attendants, remains entirely optional and should be based on your personal satisfaction.
