Three to six months is comfortable for most journeys, and earlier for peak months (October to March). We can often help at shorter notice, so write to us with your dates.
How many days do I need for the Golden Triangle?
+
Four days is the classic minimum for Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. Five or six days allows a slower pace and extra experiences. We will suggest what fits your interests.
What is the best time to visit?
+
October to March is the most comfortable. April to June is hot and July to September is the monsoon, which is green and quiet. We plan each day around the season.
Do I need a visa?
+
Most visitors do. Many nationalities can apply for an e-Visa through the official Government of India portal. Please check the official website for current rules.
Can you tailor a journey to my interests?
+
Yes. Every journey is private and tailored: heritage, food, photography, wellness, family or celebration. Tell us what matters and we will design around it.
How do I get a proposal?
+
Send us your dates, group size and interests through our enquiry form. A specialist replies personally with a tailored proposal within 24 hours.
Why are prices not shown on the website?
+
Every journey is designed for you, so a single price would not be honest. You receive a clear written proposal with the programme, inclusions and cost.
How do I confirm and pay?
+
Once you are happy with the proposal we send a booking form and payment details. You can pay by PayPal link or by bank transfer. Terms and deposit are set out in your proposal and in our Terms and Conditions.
Is Travelage a registered company?
+
Yes. Travelage has operated from Agra since 2003 and is registered in India with GSTIN 09AEPPB4163G3ZF. We also have an office in Kelowna, Canada.
What is your cancellation policy?
+
Terms depend on how close to arrival you cancel. Please read our Cancellation and Refund Policy, and we recommend travel insurance.
Is it free to enquire?
+
Yes. Enquiring and receiving a proposal carries no obligation.
Who will meet me at the airport?
+
Your Travelage host and driver, holding a name board, and will help with luggage and your first transfer to the hotel.
Will I have the same guide and driver?
+
Your driver stays with you throughout. Guides are local specialists in each city, so you hear from people who know each place best.
Is the vehicle air-conditioned?
+
Yes. Every journey uses a private air-conditioned vehicle with bottled water on board.
Can I change the plan during the trip?
+
Within reason, yes. Tell your host and we will adjust the pace, add a stop or change timing wherever possible.
What hotels do you use?
+
We match hotels to your taste, from heritage palaces to contemporary luxury. Tell us your preference and we will propose options.
Is India safe for travellers?
+
Millions visit safely every year. Travelling privately with a driver and guide removes most everyday concerns, and your host is reachable day and night.
Is it safe for solo women travellers?
+
Many women travel with us. We choose trusted hotels, vetted drivers and guides, and plan timings with you. Follow your host’s advice and your government’s travel guidance.
What about health and water?
+
Drink bottled or filtered water. Please speak to your doctor or a travel clinic about vaccinations, and take travel insurance that covers medical care.
Can you cater to dietary needs?
+
Yes. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and allergy needs can all be arranged. Tell us in advance and your host will brief every restaurant.
Do you accommodate guests with mobility needs?
+
We can plan around mobility needs with suitable vehicles, hotels and pacing. Tell us in advance so we can be honest about what works at each site.
