Seventeen days in India gives you enough time to balance major sights with quieter regions, without rushing every transfer. You could combine North and South India, pairing Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur with Kerala’s backwaters and hill stations. A northern route might link Rajasthan’s cities, including Udaipur and Jaipur, with wildlife time in Ranthambore and cultural stops in Agra and Delhi.

For a slower southern journey, Cochin, Munnar, Kumarakom, and Alleppey can form a Kerala-focused route built around houseboat stays, village walks, and time by the water. Heritage stays, scenic rail segments, and limited internal flights can help keep the pace realistic across longer distances.

Each trip on this page is designed by India travel experts who know the country inside out, not pulled from a generic package list.

Use these itineraries as a starting point, then tweak routes, hotels, and experiences with your travel specialists to match how you like to travel.
