Embark on this cultural and spiritual journey of India on a 06 days tour to one of India’s most sought-after cultural & nature sites. With all the logistics arranged for you, explore off-the-beaten-path wonders on this comprehensive experience of the Heavenly Himalayas.
Dharamshala is known as the home of the Dalai Lama, but the untidy market town where the buses pull in is actually Lower Dharamshala. The Tibetan spiritual leader is based 3km up the hill in Upper Dharamshala, also known as McLeod Ganj, and that's where most visitors are heading.
Dalhousie is famous for its meadows, dense jungles, and waterfalls. Dalhousie offers an old-world charm, mesmerising natural landscapes, pine-clad valleys and magnificent misty mountains. The Scottish and Victorian-era architecture of churches reminds one of their colonial heritage. The mini Switzerland of India, Khajjiar, is just 20 km away from Dalhousie.

Had an amazing 26 day tour organised by Kunal at Bout India. We threaded a fantastic trip across India around 3 of the World Cup cricket matches. Highlights: Mumbai city and Elephanta Caves - great guides helped us to put modern India into perspective - with religion, Moguls, Gandhi and partition in the mix. Ahmedabad - added to our Gandhi knowledge and took a scary tuk tuk ride. Shimla and Dharamshala - fulfilled a long term dream to go to the Dharamshala cricket ground in the Himalayan foothills. And managed to get up and down the Triund Trek. Amritsar - amazing Golden Temple, our guide helped us to join in rolling some chapatis to feed the needy at La.... Read More
INCREDIBLE INDIA !!! We booked our Vacation without knowing anything about BOUT INDIA TOURS....what a stroke of luck. We were treated like royalty from start to finish. Met at Hotel lobby each morning by driver and guide, always 15 mins early as were we, eager to start our daily tours of the monuments as they called them. We described them as temples, forts, palaces etc. After being dropped off at each monument, our driver was waiting for us outside to whisk us away to our next tour. We had very comfortable vehicles, all very clean, great drivers who never got angry with the bustling heavy traffic. The rides to and from our hotel and .... Read More
Amazing tour, well organized by Bout India in a short period. It's worth it. Gained lots of knowledge and experience. We took lots of photos and the incredible memories will in our minds forever.
This is my 2nd trip to India with Bout India within 12 months, which should prove that they are the most trustworthy and efficient travel agent if you ever want to explore the amazing country, India. What I love about Bout India is not only their professionalism but also their hospitality spirit and warm welcome to the country. ALL staff members are friendly and easy to communicate from the planning and the departure to your home country. They accommodated my 13 year old daughter and she is already talking about her next visit to India near future. Be open and experience something extraordinary!
We booked a custom 28 day trip through out India with Bout India. It was a wonderful trip! Great guides and drivers, wonderful hotels and restaurants! We were met at each airport by our guide and driven door to door to our destinations and hotels. We focused on UNESCO world heritage sites. One of our guides told us that we have seen more Hindu Temples than 99% of Hindu’s. I. Would strongly recommend Bout India especially if you want a custom trip organized to meet your needs.
We enjoyed all the places we visited in India. What we really liked were the people we met along the way. Our guides and drivers were amazing. They were kind, thoughtful and full of knowledge about the places we visited. We felt safe and cared for during the entire experience.
Our 32-day trip by Bout India was a fantastic holiday, everything we hoped for and more, the whole journey was seamless. The amazing itinerary, created specifically for my wife and I was managed daily by the tour organiser, which included English speaking great guides at all attractions and most importantly the fabulous drivers. Our journey through the South and North of India included wonderful Hotels and many other spectacular accommodation experiences, highlighting the majesty of India. We highly recommend Bout India to create your ideal Indian trip, to be as memorable as ours. We organised our trip from Australia.... Read More
Such a great experience, magical atmosphere, wonderful landscapes. Friendly and welcoming people. The guides we had were amazing, very skilled and prepared. The driver made us feel safe and relaxed. The hotels were above our expectations.
Bout India did an excellent job in coordinating a 3 week tour of several regions that included multiple flights. Shakti was our driver for 2 weeks and was knowledgeable of all cities we visited and was highly professional. The vehicle was cleaned daily and stocked with snacks and drinks. The guides were specific to each city we visited and also knowledgeable. Everything was coordinated smoothly and airport pickups went without a hitch. We received daily itineraries from the Bout India office with information about the drivers and guides and their contact information. Any request was quickly responded to by management. Hotels were a mix of chain and local as appropriate for the city being visited.
