What people love about Active Tours in India
- Incredible Rajasthan Adventure With Tiger Safari in 11 Days
Raju was a great driver. The guides had knowledge about everything I asked. I'm also very happy with the communication with the agency. I recommend this travel package! FYI as a woman traveling alone in India, I never felt unsafe during this trip with this company.
- 5 Day Golden Triangle Tour with Tigers and Leopards
It was a good tour, i see a lot in a short period of time. The owner sonia was nice and made a perfect tour for me. Driver Ajay was very good driver and he manage to navigate well in Indian traffic witch is quite chaotic. I have three guides from Joyful, and they were all good. Only problem in trip was the tigers, who dont want show.
- 5 Days Golden Triangle with Ranthambhore Tigers - Taj Mahal Sunrise/Sunset
I had always wanted to visit India but was always unsure about going on my own. I did a lot of research and found a 5 day tour (due to only 1 weeks holiday left) with Joyful Holidays. On inquiring, Sonia immediately came back to me and put me at ease, for all of my questions I always received an immediate response. My driver collected me from the airport and this was the driver I would have for all of my tour. Shiva, was great - we had a great journey driving around, lots of laughter and also him showing me great points of interest on our long drives - he was great, and made my tour even better. At each city I had a different guide, Dehli, Agra and Jaipur guides were great - I couldn't wish for more! The hotels that were booked were great - considering i was so tired travelling around, it was a bed for the night! the food was great! everything! I cannot complain about anything! I would certainly be visiting India again, and would always book through Joyful Holidays! I highly recommend!
What our customers ask about Adventure Tours & Trips in India
When is the best time to go on an Adventure tour in India?
The timing varies across India's diverse regions. For Rajasthan and the Golden Triangle October through March brings comfortable temperatures and clear skies. Ladakh adventures work best from April to June when mountain passes are accessible. Wildlife enthusiasts heading to Ranthambore should visit between October and May when tigers are most active. Kerala's backwater adventures shine from November to February with mild weather that's perfect for outdoor activities. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The safaris were incredible - we were lucky enough to see a tiger mother and her two cubs up close in the wild."
What are the must-do adventure activities in India?
Each region of India presents its own set of adventures. Visitors can track tigers through Ranthambore National Park search for leopards in Jawai Bandh or watch elephants roam in Nagarhole. Kerala's network of waterways offers peaceful houseboat journeys from Alleppey. The high-altitude desert of Ladakh presents opportunities for monastery visits and camel rides through the Nubra Valley. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The leopard safari in Jawai Village was extraordinary thanks to Jayanti's excellent driving and wildlife spotting talents."
What type of accommodation can I expect on an India Adventure tour?
Accommodation options range from city hotels to wilderness camps. Major cities feature properties like the Holiday Inn Jaipur City Centre while wildlife areas offer specialized lodges such as Desert Himalaya Resort in Nubra Valley. Traditional houseboats serve as floating hotels in Kerala's backwaters and camps like Pangong Sarai provide shelter near mountain lakes. Remote regions such as Ladakh feature properties like Zen Ladakh that blend local culture with modern comforts. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Hotels were clean and comfortable offering perfect rest after adventure-filled days."
What wildlife can I expect to see on India Adventure tours?
The country's varied landscapes support an extensive range of wildlife. Ranthambore and Panna National Parks are home to Bengal tigers leopards and several deer species. Nagarhole National Park houses Asian elephants and numerous bird species. Jawai Bandh has earned recognition for its leopard population while Kerala's backwaters teem with waterfowl and small mammals. As one TourRadar traveler recounted: "At Ranthambore we were thrilled to spot a tiger mother with her two cubs while the bird sanctuary at Bharatpur offered amazing avian diversity."
How much time should I plan for an India Adventure tour?
Tour length depends on your selected destinations. A Golden Triangle wildlife circuit requires 7-10 days exemplified by the week-long Regal India tour. More extensive trips including Ladakh or Kerala need 10-16 days with the South India tour taking 16 days to cover multiple parks and waterways. A TourRadar traveler advised: "The tour was really well organized over 10 days giving enough time to experience both cultural sites and wildlife adventures."
What transportation is used during India Adventure tours?
Transport methods match the terrain. City transfers use air-conditioned vehicles like Toyota Innovas while wildlife safaris in Ranthambore and Jawai require specialized 4x4 jeeps. Kerala features traditional houseboats for water travel and Ladakh tours employ vehicles built for mountain conditions. A TourRadar traveler mentioned: "Our driver Mr. Pooran Singh was excellent making sure we were comfortable during long drives and wildlife excursions."
