India Tour Packages

India Tour Packages from Australia

India is one of the world’s most extraordinary travel destinations and one of the most complex to plan well. It’s a country of 28 states with distinct cultures, climates, cuisines, and travel rhythms that shift dramatically from region to region. Sai World Travel specialises in India tour packages from Australia, and our consultants bring both professional expertise and personal familiarity with the Sub Continent to every booking.

The Golden Triangle: Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur

The Golden Triangle is Australia’s most popular India itinerary, and for good reason. Delhi, India’s capital, gives you Humayun’s Tomb, the Red Fort, Qutab Minar, and the chaos and colour of Old Delhi’s Chandni Chowk market. Agra, 200 kilometres south-east, is home to the Taj Mahal, one of the world’s undisputed architectural wonders, alongside Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri. Jaipur, the Pink City, brings Amber Fort (the palace rising above Maota Lake), Hawa Mahal, and the City Palace.

A 7-day Golden Triangle package works well for first-time visitors. A 10-day version gives more breathing room for day trips and less time pressure at each city. We can extend the Golden Triangle to include Varanasi (one of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited cities), Udaipur (the Lake City), or a wildlife safari at Ranthambore National Park.

South India: Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka

South India offers an entirely different India experience from the north. Kerala’s backwaters, the network of canals, lakes, and lagoons behind the Malabar Coast, are best explored by houseboat from Alleppey (Alappuzha). Munnar’s tea estates in the Western Ghats provide a cool, mist-covered highland contrast. Kovalam and Varkala beaches on the Arabian Sea offer sand and ayurvedic retreat options.

Tamil Nadu centres on Chennai (Madras) as the gateway, with Mahabalipuram’s shore temples just 60 kilometres south, and the temple town of Madurai 450 kilometres further south-west. Hampi in Karnataka, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of extraordinary stone ruins spread across a boulder-strewn landscape, is one of India’s most dramatic archaeological sites. For many Australian visitors with South Indian heritage, these are the regions that matter most, and we build itineraries around your actual family locations.

Rajasthan: The Desert Kingdom

Rajasthan is India’s most visually dramatic state. Jaisalmer’s golden sandstone fort rises straight out of the Thar Desert, and camel safaris into the dunes at Sam Sand Dunes deliver a genuine desert experience. Jodhpur, the Blue City, has the massive Mehrangarh Fort towering above a sea of indigo-painted houses. Udaipur, the City of Lakes, has the Lake Palace Hotel sitting on the water of Pichola Lake, one of the most romantic images in India.

A Rajasthan circuit typically runs 10 to 14 days and can be combined with the Golden Triangle cities as a starting point. We book heritage hotel properties throughout Rajasthan, including several converted royal palaces now operating as luxury accommodation, for clients wanting an India experience that matches the visual drama of the landscape.

Practical India Travel from Australia

India travel from Australia requires proper preparation. A tourist e-visa covers most Australian visitors for up to 30 days and is applied for online at least 4 days before travel. OCI card holders do not need a visa. Health precautions, including recommended vaccinations and antimalarial medication for some regions, should be discussed with a travel doctor before departure.

Domestic transport within India is well developed. Domestic flights connect major cities quickly. The train network is extensive and good value, though booking in advance is strongly recommended. Internal transfers and hotel pickups can be arranged as part of your package. Visa Assistance

Frequently Asked Questions: India Tour Packages from Australia

How long should my first India trip be?

A first India trip works well at 10 to 14 days minimum. The Golden Triangle can be done in 7 days if you’re pressed for time, but 10 days gives space to actually absorb what you’re seeing. For South India or Rajasthan, 10 to 14 days is the minimum to do it justice.

What is the best time of year to visit India from Australia?

October to March is the best window for most of India. North India, including Delhi, Agra, and Rajasthan, is at its most comfortable in these months, with mild temperatures and minimal humidity. South India is accessible year-round, though the south-west monsoon (June to September) brings heavy rain to Kerala and the west coast.

Do I need a visa to visit India from Australia?

Most Australian passport holders need an India visa. The India e-Tourist Visa is the easiest option, applied for online at least 4 days before travel. OCI card holders (Indian-origin Australian citizens) do not need a separate visa. We advise on the correct visa category for your situation.

What does an India tour package from Sai World Travel include?

Our India packages typically include return international flights from your Australian city, airport transfers in India, hotel accommodation at your chosen quality level, a structured itinerary with entrance fees, and a local guide or driver for the touring portions. We can add or remove components based on your preferences.

Can you build a custom India itinerary for my family?

Yes. Custom India itineraries built around your family’s specific origins, interests, and travel style are our specialty. If your family is from Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, or any other state, we build your tour around the places that are actually meaningful to you.

How much does an India package from Australia cost?

Costs vary widely based on flights, accommodation quality, and tour inclusions. A 10-day Golden Triangle package with 3-star hotels typically starts from around AUD $3,500 to $4,500 per person including flights from Brisbane. Premium packages with heritage hotels run higher. We provide a full cost breakdown in writing before you commit.

Is India safe to travel as an Australian tourist?

India is a well-established tourist destination with millions of international visitors annually. Like any large country, safety varies by region and depends significantly on preparation and awareness. We advise on sensible precautions, safe areas, and how to structure your itinerary to minimise unnecessary risk.
