Compare India holidays

There may be no other nation on the planet that can boast the diversity of India, a place where you can gawp in awe at the magnificent Taj Mahal, experience a bone-jangling ride on the back of a Rajasthani camel, relax on a Goan beach or trek through the jungle on the lookout for tigers. Whether you choose to go budget or opt for an all-inclusive India holiday, you’ll get more than just an escape for a little while – these are trips you’ll tell your grandkids about one day!

A religious and cultural mélange

It’s hard to compare India with anywhere else – the country has 22 officially-recognised languages, its people follow every major religion and you’ll find a vast range of different ethnicities.

This can seem overwhelming at first, but cheap package holidays to India can solve the riddle of planning an itinerary by handling some of the details for you. Keep an eye out for some excellent holiday deals on TravelSupermarket.

Sands of time

People don’t often think of beach holidays and India at the same time. After all, there is so much to see and do inland.

However, some of the best all-inclusive holiday deals in India put you on the sands of Goa, the doyenne of the Indian beach scene. The location offers a bonanza of great side-trip options to places such as Mumbai, Hampi or the magnificent Ellora and Ajanta cave temples. Goa was Portugal’s main Indian colony, and this is still evident in the churches and ruined fortresses along the coast.

For more adventurous holidays in India, head to Havelock or Neil Islands. Part of the Andaman Islands, the beaches here resemble those of Thailand or Malaysia and are actually closer to both countries than to India. You won’t find any big hotels here, though – most accommodation consists of wooden beach cabins.
