1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

India is a vast South Asian country and one of the world's most diverse destinations, spanning the Himalayan peaks in the north to tropical coastlines in the south. It is renowned for its ancient history, iconic landmarks like the Taj Mahal and Jaipur's forts, and a rich tapestry of religions, languages, and cuisines that vary dramatically from region to region. Travellers are drawn by its wildlife sanctuaries — including tiger reserves like Ranthambore — bustling cities such as Mumbai and Delhi, and spiritual hubs like Varanasi and Rishikesh. Whether trekking in Ladakh, exploring Kerala's backwaters, or diving into vibrant street culture, India offers an unmatched depth of experience for adventurous and culturally curious travellers alike.

Self-Launched Golden Triangle: Delhi, Agra & Jaipur in 3 Days

Experience India's iconic Golden Triangle — Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur — entirely on your own terms, without paying for a guided group package. This self-launched itinerary follows the same route and hits every major landmark: Jama Masjid, the Taj Mahal at sunrise, Agra Fort, Fatehpur Sikri, Amber Fort, Hawa Mahal, and more. Swap the 5-star Trident for well-reviewed mid-range guesthouses and boutique hotels, use intercity trains and shared taxis instead of private cars, and book local guides on GetYourGuide or directly at the sites if you want the context — or go it alone with a good guidebook. Estimated cost is around £95–110 per person for the full 3 days, versus ~£240 for the commercial tour. All costs are approximate estimates.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for India yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
