India

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

India is a vast South Asian nation and one of the world's most diverse destinations, spanning snow-capped Himalayan peaks in the north to tropical coastlines in the south. It is renowned for its ancient history, with iconic landmarks like the Taj Mahal, Rajasthan's royal forts, and the sacred ghats of Varanasi drawing visitors from across the globe. Travellers come for an extraordinary range of experiences — trekking in Ladakh, wildlife safaris in Ranthambore, backpacking the beaches of Goa and Kerala, and exploring the chaotic, colourful energy of cities like Mumbai and Delhi. India's rich tapestry of religions, cuisines, languages, and festivals makes it one of the most immersive and rewarding long-term travel destinations in the world.

Self-Launched Golden Triangle with Varanasi & Amritsar: Body, Mind & Soul

This self-launched version of MTA's popular 11-day Indian spiritual and cultural circuit covers Delhi, Jaipur, Agra, Orchha, Khajuraho, Allahabad (Prayagraj), Varanasi, and Amritsar — all the iconic stops, all the soul-stirring moments, without the guided tour price tag. You'll swap private tour vehicles for trains, shared taxis, and buses, and trade the 3–5★ hotel package for clean, well-rated budget guesthouses and hostels. India is one of the world's great backpacker destinations — independent travel here is deeply rewarding, well-serviced, and a fraction of the cost. Estimated costs are per person and approximate.

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."
