"Fantastic experience on our trip! We were treated wonderfully. Alegre, a great person with extensive knowledge of his country and its customs, helped us learn a little more about this fascinating country. And we mustn't forget our driver, Satya, a true professional in the art of driving in India, who took us everywhere with great friendliness and a smile on his face. We shared five unforgettable days together."
"I feel so happy to have taken this wonderful trip to India. Thanks to our guide, Gattu, who guided us with his heart and showed us the essence of his country. My stay wasn't long enough to see all the beautiful places because I also visited Thailand. I loved connecting with the people and experiencing the richness of their culture, and of course, feeling a connection to love at the Taj Mahal. I was enchanted by the food, the mystical aromas, and the incredible variety of colors and textures in the textiles. The warmth of the people and Gattu's excellent attitude... I loved this experience! "
"I highly recommend traveling with BIDtravel. They make everything incredibly easy, they're attentive to every detail, and any questions are answered instantly. The trip to the Golden Triangle in India was spectacular; I was delighted with the agency, the guide, and the driver. ☺️ I will definitely book with them again."
"We had the pleasure of having Alegre as our guide; he was fantastic, attentive at all times, from hotels and transportation to water and sightseeing. I would recommend him 100%."
"The second part of our trip and a change of guide, Abhi, was a real find. A Hindu with an Argentinian accent, he had a great knowledge of his country and culture. We had a fantastic time, even during the 11 hours it took to get to Varanasi. He was a true professional, kind, and very attentive to every detail. And our driver, Firoz, was always making sure everything was perfect. I also want to mention Mintu, the driver we had on the last day. Although we only spent a short time with him, he treated us wonderfully and always had a smile on his face. Today we're back home, sad that it's over, but very happy for everything we experienced and for having had the opportunity to get to know a little bit of this fantastic country."
"Genius Alan! Very entertaining. Greetings from Uruguay."

India offers many different ways to explore beyond its major cities. The Himalayas are a starting point for mountain scenery and trekking possibilities, while Rajasthan combines open landscapes, historic towns and rural experiences.

If you are looking for a wider cultural itinerary, explore our India tours and discuss how nature or outdoor experiences could fit into your route.
Nepal and Bhutan appeal to travellers drawn to mountain landscapes, traditional settlements and distinctive cultural heritage. Depending on the itinerary, a trip can combine scenic drives, walking options, local visits and time to enjoy the surroundings. Trekking difficulty, altitude and seasonal conditions should be considered before choosing a route.
Explore our Nepal tours and Bhutan tours for more destination inspiration.
Travellers who prefer a mix of experiences can consider combining cultural touring with coastal scenery or time to relax. Sri Lanka offers a varied island itinerary, while the Maldives is often better suited to a beach extension than a trekking-focused holiday. The best combination depends on flight connections, travel dates and how much time you have.
A private itinerary gives you an opportunity to discuss your preferred pace, interests and comfort level before confirming arrangements. Tell Asia Escapes where you would like to travel, how long you have and which experiences matter most. The team can advise whether a suggested tour is a good fit or whether a different combination would be more suitable.
