A culinary tour is for you if you enjoy learning about the views, aromas, and flavours of a new place. When dining in neighbourhood restaurants, street food stalls, rural houses, and cooking workshops, you may experience some of India's finest culinary traditions, including Mughal, Rajasthani, and the Portuguese-influenced flavours of Goa. The rich tapestry of Indian culture and history will be on show, and you'll have the chance to meet tea vendors in local markets, visit nearby rural communities and spice farms, and eat in Sikh and Jain temples. You'll have a terrific time on this tour with the excellent fresh food and numerous delectable regional meals. To make sure that vegans may participate and enjoy this trip fully, we advise them to study the schedule and inclusions.
 

 Most often, yes. There will be some, though, that may not necessarily be kid-friendly, such as gourmet cooking classes or wine appreciation experiences. We recommend that you review the tour details and judge yourself whether you would like your kids to be a part of a particular activity, alternatively you can always choose to opt out of such activities and plan your time as you may like.

 

Given the size of India, several itineraries involve lengthy travel days. There will be a range of accommodation options to experience Indian culture on some tours, and vast distances may be travelled by sleeper train or flight (depending on your theme and budget constraints). Several of India's most well-known foods, including kachori, kulfi, chai, paratha, chaat, thali, and a ton more, are introduced to you throughout these visits. Depending on your plan, you should also visit the magnificent Taj Mahal in Agra, the Jama Mosque in Old Delhi, the Hawa Mahal and Amber Fort in Jaipur, the gullies and icons of Mumbai, and the traditional homes in Chettinadu and Cochin.

 

While we will make every effort to accommodate dietary needs, a lot of meals and food-related activities on our tours are pre-planned in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of a country's cuisine. Please contact our representative to discuss if your dietary needs can be accommodated if you have special dietary needs and are concerned that they may limit your ability to fully engage in all food-related activities on this tour.




 

Sure, you can plan a separate vegetarian departure just for your group with the meals and travel arrangements you choose. Depending on the number of travellers in your group, the cost of the tour will vary.



 

You will always have access to a luxurious, roomy vehicle driven by a chauffeur. We make sure the driver can converse in English effectively, if not flawlessly. The chosen drivers are polite and considerate, will adhere to your schedule, and will provide you advice as needed. Travel by air or rail will be incorporated into some itineraries. We promote using the local transportation system as an activity. We provide an approximate journey time and distance between each destination. However when travelling through a town, there may be delays caused by unexpected pit stops and occasionally by traffic. You should be prepared for delays because at some places roads can also cause you to go more slowly. A map will be available for your escort or driver to show you and explain the journey. Please feel free to inquire about your route with either us or them.



 

We offer mineral water bottles on our tours or can arrange for portable water from a local source. Even so, each traveller is required to bring one empty water bottle. You will receive help on where to refill the bottles from the tour manager or local guide. As an additional precaution, you may want to pack water purification tablets.
