What people love about Northern India Tours from New Delhi
- Unique Himalaya tour with culture depth experience
Lovely tour with a lot of beautiful memories. India definitely inspired us to visit this country more often. The tour will stay in our memories and we will never forget a perfect driver - Prakash.
- Holi Celebration in Mathura And Golden Triangle (1 March - 9 March 2026) - Fixed Departure
Pushkar becomes particularly alive during the annual Camel Fair in which hundreds if not thousands of camel dealers from throughout Rajasthan ascend upon this small community to deal their trade. Visitors from around the world join in the fun, making for a week of immense sights, smells and culture which seems only possible in India. It is highly recommendable to visit during this time.

October through March offers the most favorable conditions for New Delhi tours with temperatures between 20-30°C (68-86°F). For those heading to Himalayan spots like Shimla and Dharamshala summer months (April-June) work best. The monsoon season (July-September) brings heavy rains making it less suitable for travel. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The weather in February was perfect for exploring Delhi's monuments and comfortable for the train journey to Shimla."

Private air-conditioned vehicles are standard on New Delhi tours. Small groups of 1-2 travelers use compact cars such as Tata Indigo or Suzuki Dzire while larger groups of 4-6 travel in Toyota Innova or similar vehicles. Many itineraries feature scenic train rides like the famous Kalka-Shimla route. As one TourRadar traveler mentioned: "Our driver Malkeet was very helpful and reliable making us feel safe throughout the journey from Delhi to the mountains."
What are the common starting locations within New Delhi for these tours?
Most New Delhi tours begin from one of three key areas: the bustling Connaught Place near luxury hotels The Lalit and The Imperial the tourist-friendly Karol Bagh district or Paharganj close to New Delhi Railway Station. The Delhi Airport's Hotel Zone serves as another common meeting point. One TourRadar traveler mentioned: "Starting from Connaught Place was convenient as it was close to metro stations and major attractions."
What are the most common first-day activities when starting a tour in New Delhi?
First-day itineraries typically focus on Old Delhi's highlights including rickshaw rides through Chandni Chowk market visits to Jama Masjid mosque and stops at Raj Ghat. Guests often stay at mid-range properties like Hotel Florence in Karol Bagh or Classic Diplomat in central Delhi. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The driver will show you Old Delhi and take you for a memorable and exciting rickshaw ride in Chandni Chowk's narrow streets where you'll see the visual kaleidoscope of colors at Kinari Bazar."
What destinations can I combine with New Delhi on Northern India tours?
New Delhi serves as a gateway to numerous notable destinations. Popular additions include Agra's Taj Mahal Jaipur's historical sites Varanasi's religious centers and Rishikesh's yoga retreats. The mountain towns of Shimla Manali and Dharamshala attract nature enthusiasts.

I've been to 12 locations stayed in 8 different hotels."

The Himachal route takes 10 days through mountain towns like Shimla and Manali while shorter spiritual journeys to Varanasi run about 4 days. As one TourRadar traveler mentioned about their 10-day Himalayan journey: "The places we visited on this tour covered all we were interested in particularly enjoying Amritsar and the guide was very helpful in taking us into the kitchens at the Golden Temple."
