Wind Horse in India

Our first travelers came to India in 1996 to see the Taj Mahal and the palaces of Rajasthan. Thirty years later, we have led trips across the length and breadth of the country.

In April 2005 we opened our own office in Delhi with former colleagues and guides we had worked alongside for years — people from tour companies and hotels, and tour leaders who had spent their careers leading groups for Western operators.

Because we have done it on the ground, we know where the time goes in India. Which drives are longer than they look on a map, which trains are worth taking, and how to pace a trip so you come home rested rather than exhausted. That experience is what goes into every itinerary we design.

Every trip is made to measure

India is far too vast for any one company to cover every corner itself, and anyone who claims to is overstretching. So we work with a small network of partner agencies and guides around the country — people we have worked with for years and would send our own families with.

Our own team plans the route, books it, and looks after you from first email to final transfer. You deal with Wind Horse throughout, and we stay answerable for every part of the trip, whoever is driving the car that day.

1996our first travelers in India

Thirty years of routes, hotels, guides and drivers tried, kept or dropped. When we suggest a change to your itinerary, it is usually because we have learned it the hard way.

Two teams, one journey

Eastern Himalaya specialists, with all of India covered

Sikkim, Darjeeling and the North East are run from our office on the Bhutan border, by people who live there. Our Delhi team looks after the rest of the country.

Choose your own hotels

India has an outstanding range of international hotel chains, and many travelers have a favourite brand or loyalty points to use. So in India, and only in India, we offer you the choice.

Either way the trip is designed, guided and supported by Wind Horse. The only difference is who books the big-city hotels.

Option one We book everything We recommend and book every night of your stay, from city hotels to heritage havelis, safari lodges and homestays.
  • One booking, one price, one point of contact
  • Hotels we have inspected and kept using
  • Room upgrades and changes handled for you
Option two You book the city hotels You choose and book your own hotels in the major cities, and use your points with the chain you prefer. We arrange everything else.
  • Guides, private vehicles and drivers
  • Train tickets, domestic flights and transfers
  • Sightseeing, entry fees and permits
  • The smaller heritage hotels, camps and homestays outside the cities, which are hard to book from abroad
