India Travel Guide for First-Time Visitors
Pace, packing, health and how to choose a private itinerary.
First trips to India work best with a clear route, private transport and breathing room between big sights.

A local operator who customises hotels and timing removes most of the friction — that is where Discover Bharat Tours focuses.
