The key to successful Independent holidays is planning. You do not want to waste precious holiday time in India working out where to stay, how to get from A to B and what to see when you're there. Even if you change your mind once you arrive, it pays to have a plan to start with.
This is particularly true in India, where, although well-travelled by generations of foreigners, getting around on your own can be a frustrating experience. Without the assistance and support of someone who knows India well, you can waste a lot of time and money and not get the enjoyment out of your holiday that you had hoped for.
This is where these India destination specialists can help. Unlike a general travel agent who has to try to cover everything, the experts whose brochures feature on these pages focus on India and have got to know it very well indeed. Not only do they pass this inside knowledge on to you, so you save time and money, they have the local representation to help you if you need it. So, if you're the independent sort who wants to discover India your own way, by all means, be our guest. But take the expert's advice and plan ahead.
