Tailor-made trips to India
An honest guide to understanding the country before you travel it: when to go, which regions to choose, how much it costs and how we design an itinerary that feels like you.
Why India
It isn't one country: it's twenty countries in one.
India is best explored in layers. In the north there's desert, sandstone forts and cities that never rest; in the south, backwaters, Dravidian temples and a cuisine that changes every hundred kilometres. Up above, the Indian Himalayas hold Buddhist monasteries above 3,000 metres where silence weighs heavy.
That's why a trip to India works or doesn't depending on how it's designed. Trying to see everything in two weeks is the fastest way to come home exhausted. Choosing two or three regions and giving them real time is what turns the trip into something you remember whole.
At Goa Travel Lab we work in India with trusted local drivers and guides, characterful accommodations —havelis, tea houses, homestays— and days with room for whatever wasn't on the itinerary.

Frequently asked questions
What's the best time to travel to India?
October to March is the best window for the north, Rajasthan, Varanasi and the south: pleasant temperatures and little rain. The monsoon arrives between June and September, the only good season for Ladakh and the Indian Himalayas.
How many days do you need to travel to India?
With 10 days you can do the Golden Triangle and Varanasi. With 15 days you can explore Rajasthan at ease or travel through Kerala and Tamil Nadu. From 18 days it's possible to combine north and Himalayas without the trip turning into a race.
Is it safe to travel to India, even solo?
Yes, with common sense and good logistics. We work with trusted drivers and guides, verified accommodation and 24-hour assistance at the destination. Many of our travellers go solo.
Do you need a visa for India?
Yes. Spanish passport holders need a tourist e-Visa processed online before departure. We help you through the process.
What vaccines are recommended?
None is mandatory from Spain. International vaccination centres usually recommend hepatitis A and typhoid fever, and consider antimalarials depending on the area and season.
