Frequently Asked Questions About Luxury Travel to India

Is India a good destination for luxury travelers?

India is one of the world's great luxury travel destinations — palatial heritage hotels, private jet transfers, intimate tented safari camps, and Kerala backwater stays are all part of the picture. The country has invested heavily in its tourism infrastructure in recent years, and Ker & Downey World Travel considers it one of the most rewarding destinations in our portfolio.

When is the best time to visit India?

October through March is the sweet spot for most travelers — comfortable temperatures, open tiger reserves, and Rajasthan at its most golden. February and March are peak months for wildlife. Kerala can be visited year-round, including the monsoon, when Ayurvedic retreats and lush landscapes make for an entirely different kind of journey. See our full month-by-month guide for detail.

Can I really see tigers in the wild in India?

Yes — and India is one of the best places in the world to do it. The Bengal tiger population has more than doubled over the past two decades. Ker & Downey focuses on the most productive reserves in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, with naturalist guides who know these forests intimately. Read more in our Big Cats of India guide.

What makes Ker & Downey's India journeys different?

Three things: access, expertise, and flexibility. Our relationships with India's finest properties — SUJÁN, Oberoi, Aman, and Taj among them — mean preferential treatment and experiences not available through general booking channels. Every itinerary is built entirely around the individual client. And for those who want it, we offer private jet options throughout India.

Can India be combined with other destinations?

India pairs naturally with the Maldives, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and the UAE, as well as broader Asia itineraries including Japan, Thailand, and Vietnam. Ker & Downey specializes in multi-country journeys and can connect India seamlessly with any destination in the region.

How long should I spend in India?

Most Ker & Downey India journeys run 10 to 15 days — enough to experience two or three regions without feeling rushed. A 10-day trip might cover the Golden Triangle with a Ranthambore extension; 14 to 15 days opens up a tiger safari in Madhya Pradesh or a south India extension into Kerala.
