What people love about India Tours in January
- 10 Days Golden Triangle Tour with Mumbai, From New Delhi Airport
Amazing tour, Mumbai is beautiful city to visit. Unforgettable experience. Our tour guide was so kind and helpful..!!
- Golden Triangle Tour with Ranthambore Tigers and Taj Mahal Sunrise/Sunset 7 Days
Had a wonderful first time visit to India thanks to Joyful Holidays and the custom tour they arranged on our behalf. Accommodations at our 4 different locations were great as well as very knowledgeable tour guides. Added benefit was having a single driver for the whole tour who kept us safe and went above and beyond his driving duties everyday. The tigers were shy in Ranthambore but the park by itself with abundant wildlife did not disappoint. Delhi, Agra and Jaipur each provided a look into Inda’s history that was pretty much unknown to me before and every site visit was amazing. If and when I return to India, I will look to Joyful Holidays to work with me to provide a customized itinerary to see what I couldn’t in my first visit.
- Taj Mahal and Wildlife with Royal Stay at Castles
Hotels,guides,driver everything was perfect.Our whole tour was amazing.But the best part of the tour was the stay at castle Sardargarh & Rohetgarh.It was truly a royal stay.I have traveled allot through the years but Swastik India was the most professional company. Their personal attention to each and every traveler feels special.This company will always remain our first preference for India tours.Thank you!!

Wildlife viewing reaches its peak in January especially at Ranthambore National Park where tigers show increased activity. One TourRadar traveler shared that "looking for tigers on 2 game drives at Ranthambore was a highlight."

The Regal Vista Hotel serves as a comfortable base for wildlife enthusiasts.
