India, composed for British travellers.
Eight and a half hours from Heathrow — and a world away from the package-holiday India. Heritage rail, hill stations and palaces where the connection runs centuries deep.
Nonstop 8.5–9 hours: British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and Air India from Heathrow to Delhi and Mumbai; Air India also from Gatwick and Birmingham. Evening departures land you in Delhi for breakfast.
October to March for the plains; the October half-term and Christmas–New Year weeks are our busiest British season. April–June is superb for tigers, September for Ladakh and the hills.
E-visa in 24–72 hours · India is 4.5–5.5 hours ahead of the UK — jet lag is gentle · Named after the era but nothing like it: heritage rail, colonial-era clubs and hill stations, reframed on Indian terms.
Journeys our guests from the UK love first.
Heritage rail odysseys, Rajasthan's great houses and Kerala's backwaters — with a curator, not a rep.
