India has captured the imagination of Australian travellers, and demand is surging. For award-winning tour operator Inspiring Vacations, traveller interest in India has grown exponentially, with a 335.51% rise in demand for India tours, while interest in neighbouring Nepal has climbed 132.8% year on year.
Responding to this demand, Inspiring Vacations launches four new core journeys, fully escorted and designed to uncover every iconic experience the country has to offer from an 8 day escape to an epic 26 day odyssey.
Each new tour has been designed to reveal the many sides of the country, with every itinerary weaving together culture, history, nature, flavour and comfort. Travellers can watch sunrise over the Golden Temple in Amritsar, share a meal in a traditional community langar, explore vibrant cities and ancient landmarks, and experience the warmth and diversity that make India unlike anywhere else.
“India has always been a destination that captures people’s imagination, and we’re seeing more Australians wanting to experience everything it has to offer. From iconic landmarks to incredible food, every part of India offers something unique. We’ve designed the new Immersive India range to take the stress out of planning, so travellers can focus on the journey”
Chief Product Officer and Co-Founder, Brendon Cooper.
