Bharat Deko Sacred Uttar Pradesh

We craft journeys across entire India but mainly across these regions:

• Himalayan Region – Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand — high-altitude valleys, pilgrim sites, and adventure landscapes

• North India -  Rajasthan, Delhi, UP (Agra, Lucknow, Varanasi) etc.
  

• South India – Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Goa — coastal beauty, historic temples, hill stations, and wellness retreats
  

• North East India – Assam, Sikkim, West Bengal (Darjeeling himalayan region),Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Manipur, Tripura — rich in tribal culture, biodiversity, and scenic hills
  

Each region is supported by itineraries that balance cultural richness, natural beauty, relaxation, and activity.

• Himalayan Region: March–May and September–November offer clear skies and trekking access. Winters are ideal for snow and mountain sports, monsoons are best avoided due to landslides.
  

• North India : October to March is ideal due to cooler temperatures, clear skies, and a festive atmosphere. Summers (April–June) can be hot, especially in Rajasthan, while monsoons (July–September) bring lush greenery in Madhya Pradesh and fewer crowds at key attractions.

• South India: November–March for beach weather and temple festivals; June–September in Kerala provides lush monsoon scenery and Ayurveda experiences.
  

North East: October–April is festival season with clearer roads; monsoons bring heavy rain and disruptions.

Group tours are ideal for fixed itineraries, cost-effective travel, and shared experiences.

Tailor‑Made tours provide complete itinerary customisation—ideal for family travel, photography, spiritual themes, wildlife exploration, or leisurely schedules.

Group tours: Typically span 4–14 days and focus on one or more regions.

Tailor‑Made tours: Range from 3 days for single-region excursion to 3+ weeks for multi-region exploration. Can be tailored to suit your exact need.

Safety underpins each tour: we partner with trusted local suppliers, use secure transportation, and proactively monitor road and weather conditions. Pre-departure briefings and helpline support are provided. In remote or high-altitude zones, alternate routes, contingency lodging, and medical support protocols are maintained as per the highest standards.

Our group tours are typically accompanied by a professional tour manager who ensures smooth execution of the itinerary, coordinates logistics, and serves as your first point of contact. For Tailor-Made tours, we can arrange knowledgeable local guides in each destination, depending on the nature of the tour and guest preference.

Yes, many Cox & Kings guests choose to combine regions such as a South India wellness retreat followed by a Himalayan pilgrimage, or a cultural journey through Tamil Nadu followed by wildlife exploration in the North East. Tailor-made itineraries allow seamless multi-region combinations with efficient inter-regional transport and thoughtfully spaced itineraries.

In regions like the Himalayas or North East India, weather can sometimes cause itinerary changes due to landslides, snowfall, or road closures. Cox & Kings continuously monitors regional conditions and has contingency plans in place. We proactively adjust transport and accommodation arrangements and communicate changes in real time to ensure guest comfort and continuity.

Cox & Kings aligns several group and private departures with major Indian festivals such as Diwali, Pongal, Onam, Hornbill Festival (Nagaland), and Hemis (Ladakh), depending on the region and season. Guests on Tailor-Made tours can request to align their travel with local festivals or religious events, with arrangements made to experience them authentically and comfortably.

While most regions in India are open to tourism year-round, certain destinations may be temporarily affected by monsoon damage, altitude-related advisories, or regional sensitivities. Cox & Kings provides up-to-date travel advisories and will recommend alternate routes, dates, or destinations should conditions change. We maintain close contact with regional partners and authorities for timely updates.

Yes, spiritual and wellness elements can be woven into itineraries upon request. Tailor-Made travellers often include yoga and meditation retreats in Rishikesh or Kerala, visits to ashrams and temples, or Ayurvedic therapy sessions. These inclusions are based on guest interest, availability, and local authenticity.

India is suitable for travellers across all age groups. Group tours typically welcome children aged five and above, while Tailor-Made programs can accommodate younger travellers and multigenerational families with appropriate pacing and rest time. Senior travellers are comfortably accommodated with curated sightseeing, porterage, and flexible activity levels. Our team can assist with designing routes that minimise physical strain while maximising experience.

We actively promote responsible tourism by partnering with eco-sensitive properties, supporting local community guides, minimising plastic usage where possible, and offering options for low-impact travel. Guests are encouraged to respect cultural heritage sites, dress appropriately in religious settings, and participate in community-based tourism initiatives that support sustainable livelihoods.

Yes, India is a compelling destination for solo exploration, and Cox & Kings ensures that solo guests, particularly solo women, have a secure, enriching, and well-supported experience. We arrange well-located accommodations, reliable transport, and accessible guides, with safety and cultural insight as top priorities.

Most Cox & Kings tours are moderately paced and involve daily walking during sightseeing. While the level of physical activity varies based on destination and season, we do not design itineraries that require high athleticism unless specifically requested. Travellers with health concerns should notify our team in advance so we can adjust the pace or provide additional assistance as needed.
