Spiritual Tour: Visit holy cities like Varanasi and Amritsar, learn about Hinduism and Sikhism, and experience traditional rituals.

3. What is the best time of year to travel to North India?

The best time to visit India is between October and March, when the weather is more likely to be warm, sunny, and dry. During this time, the north offers clear blue skies. However, December and January are much cooler, with potential fog, while the higher Himalaya can be very cold, but with clearer mountain views.

Here's a breakdown of the seasons:

Winter (October to March): This is generally considered the peak tourist season for most of North India. The weather is pleasant and dry, with warm days and cool nights. It's an ideal time to visit places like Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Varanasi, and Khajuraho. However, it can get quite chilly in the Himalayas during this time.
Summer (April to June):The temperatures soar during this time, especially in the plains of North India. It can be uncomfortable for sightseeing, especially for those not accustomed to the heat. However, the hill stations like Shimla, Dalhousie, and Mussoorie offer respite from the heat.
Monsoon (July to September): The monsoon brings much-needed rain to the region. While some areas like Ladakh become accessible only during this time, heavy rainfall can disrupt travel plans in other places. It's best to avoid the Himalayas during this season due to landslides.

4. Why should we visit North India?

North India enchants visitors with its vibrant tapestry of reasons to visit. Here are some highlights that might pique your interest:

Immerse yourself in history and culture: North India boasts a rich historical legacy, evident in its magnificent forts, palaces, and monuments. From the architectural wonder of the Taj Mahal to the grandeur of Agra Fort, you'll be transported back in time.

Indulge in delectable cuisine: North India is a paradise for foodies. Savor the rich and flavorful curries, aromatic biryanis, and melt-in-your-mouth tandoori delicacies. Don't miss the chance to try local specialties like butter chicken, kebabs, and street food delights like samosas and chaat.

5. Which is more beautiful north or south India?

It's tough to say definitively which is more beautiful, North or South India, because beauty is subjective and depends on your preferences. North India has more splendid palaces, temples, and forts with an imperial style and noble temperament. Conversely, south India is located in low latitudes and embraced by the sea. The tropical landscapes and beaches are its highlights. Architecture in the south is more colonial because of its colonial history.

Here's a breakdown of the highlights of each region to help you decide which might be more appealing to you:

North India:
Grand historical monuments: The Taj Mahal, forts, palaces (Agra Fort, Jaipur City Palace)
Spiritual significance: Varanasi, Rishikesh on the Ganges River
Diverse landscapes: Himalayas, Thar Desert
Vibrant culture: Bustling cities, colorful festivals

South India:
Relaxing beaches: Kerala backwaters, Goa coastline
Lush greenery: Hill stations, tea plantations, spice plantations
Dravidian architecture: Temple architecture with towering gopurams
Unique cultures: Diverse traditions, laid-back atmosphere

Here are some additional factors to consider:
Weather: North India has cooler winters but hotter summers. South India is mostly tropical with high humidity.
Cuisine: North India is known for richer curries and tandoori dishes. South India features lighter fare with rice, lentils, and coconut.
Activities: North India offers historical exploration and adventure activities in the Himalayas. South India is ideal for relaxation, Ayurveda treatments, and enjoying nature.

Ultimately, the best way to decide is to research specific destinations within North and South India that appeal to you and create an itinerary that suits your interests.

Incredible India and Nepal

What a wonderful experience we had, with fabulous support from Alina at Asia Odyssey and from our great driver Vipin and our guides (Prerak in Delhi, Sanjay in Agra and Suresh in Jaipur). The guides were knowledgeable, communicative and friendly, and all had a good appreciation as well of food, which meant their restaurant suggestions were excellent. Vipin accompanied us throughout our trip and shared many things with us, beyond being a driver, including taking us to the Galvani Hindu temple in Jaipur.

What an amazing trip. We did the Golden Triangle, which has a particular focus on the architecture and history of the Mughul empire, especially Shah Jahan, who built the Taj Mahal. And the buildings are spectacular! The Taj is most known, and I found the inlay work (precious stones inlaid in the white marble) to be the highlight. We bought a marble elephant done in the same way as a reminder of the walls of the Taj - seeing the actual artisans doing this inlay work in with traditional tools added to our experience and we were delighted to buy some of their special work.

Having said that, my personal preference was for the red sandstone buildings rather than the white marble. The detailed work of carving the sandstone is for me as beautiful as the similar work on the marble, and the colours are nicer, softer.

Similarly, the timber constructions in Nepal were unbelievable - as detailed as the work we saw in India, and wonderfully maintained, even if it has experienced significant impacts from earthquakes.

The photos below highlight our experiences - the captions provide the rest of the detail.

India, Nepal, and Bhutan - Fantastic Trip of a Lifetime with Asia Odyssey!

I just graduated college and was planning on solo traveling Asia for 3 months. In the beginning of May, my mother very last minute decided that she would join me for a few weeks starting in the beginning of June. We both were very busy and had to quickly come up with a plan, which is when we found Asia Odyssey. Alina was super prompt in her response and quickly made us an itinerary for Nepal and Bhutan that fit exactly to our needs. After seeing how expertly Alina was able to create this itinerary, we also requested she make us an itinerary for India’s Golden Triangle including Delhi, Agra, and Rajasthan that we would embark on before Nepal/Bhutan.

Altogether we were under the care of Asia Odyssey for about a month, and simply could not have had a better experience. Alina was constantly in contact with us to make sure that everything was going smoothly and that we were having a wonderful time. In Nepal, we very last minute changed our plan to fly instead of drive for two of our locations and Alina was so understanding and helpful in allowing us to change our plans. Alina truly took wonderful care of us from start to finish and she is such a gem. Thank you so much for everything Alina!

Our trip to India felt right out of a magazine. Our driver Satish in India was with us over a week and is one of the kindest, most genuine people I have ever met in my entire life. I’ve been wanting to go to India with my mother for years and the trip was absolutely perfect - every hotel, every restaurant, every sight was absolutely wonderful. I was blown away with the country and the culture, and Asia Odyssey allowed us to experience it in the most comfortable and seamless way.

Our adventures in Nepal and Bhutan were some of the best of my life! The mountains and culture were unlike anything I’d experienced before, and I truly felt that I was able to get a genuine feel for the countries. The mountains and all of the buddhist monasteries and temples were some of the most beautiful things I’ve seen in my life. I absolutely cannot wait to come back - and when I do it will definitely be with Asia Odyssey.

Our guides Prarek, Ganesh, Narendra, Amit, Ghana, and Jigme throughout India, Nepal and Bhutan were all absolutely amazing, as were our drivers Satish, Keshav, and Momlal. Every single person we met was so incredible and made us feel so welcomed.

I cannot speak highly enough of Asia Odyssey and the hospitality shown by all involved in our trip. Thank you so much for the trip of a lifetime, and we hope to return very soon!

Our Marvelous Month Long Mother - Daughter adventure in India, Nepal and Bhutan

I just returned from a last-minute fantastic month long mother-daughter trip through India, Nepal, and Bhutan. I had been to India 6 times in the past for work, but I never really had time to do much sightseeing. In May, I decided to meet up with my daughter in June in Delhi and spend a month touring India, Nepal, and Bhutan. I contacted Asia Odyssey Travel and started working with Ms. Alina Dan. She was absolutely amazing! I was so impressed how she designed our trips so quickly according to my requests. Furthermore, she gave me lots of advice and feedback as we worked through all the details to really come up with a great plan.

She secured the Bhutan visas for us, explained how we could easily get the Nepal visas upon arrival, and provided links for us to get the Indian visas. Overall, it was a painless process. I really appreciated her guidance as it seems difficult to get accurate info regarding visa requirements in the post covid world.

We stayed in a huge variety of beautiful, unique hotels. None of them felt particularly touristy, and we enjoyed all of them... from rural lodges to sophisticated, beautiful city hotels.

All of our guides and drivers were amazing, which we truly appreciated given the fact that we arranged the whole trip within a few weeks of our departure. We really miss Satish, our wonderful driver in India, who was with us throughout all of our India adventures. He always showed so much care and concern for us day after day.... despite some of our sometime crazy requests! I'm not sure how Alina pulled all the details and great people together so quickly, but it was really wonderful.

I will definitely go with Asia Odyssey Travel on my next trip to Asia. I can't say enough good things about them!
