Flight time
The flight from Auckland to India takes roughly 18 hours with a stopover. It's not a short flight but India's energy will more than make up for the travel time once you get there.
Vibrant, wild and unforgettable – this is India
India is a sensory explosion — bold, vibrant and utterly unforgettable. From the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas to the sun-drenched beaches of Goa and Kerala, this is a country that lives life in full colour.
Watch the sun rise over the Taj Mahal, wander the palaces of Rajasthan, or lose yourself in the spiritual chaos of Varanasi. Indulge in food from sizzling street stalls — samosas, chaat, curries — their delicious aromas drifting through the air. Or browse dazzling shops for vibrant textiles and sparkling jewellery.
Get amongst it in the bustling madness of Mumbai, or find your calm with Ayurvedic treatments and yoga in a palm-fringed coastal retreat. India is whatever you need it to be — full-noise excitement or complete tranquillity.
Whether you’re drawn by the festivals, the flavours, the spirituality or the sheer beauty of it all, India is a holiday that will stay with you forever.
Let our India travel specialists create your perfect, personalised escape today.
Best time to go
A great time to visit India is December to March, when dry, sunny days make exploring beaches, cities, temples, and national parks ideal. But with varied climates and year-round festivals, it's best to decide based on your regions or activities of interest.
Time difference
India is 6.5-7.5 hours behind New Zealand depending on Daylight Saving here. Yes, that half hour is correct!

"Suzanne saw us as walk in clients and went above and beyond to tailor a package to India that suits our needs. Due to flexibility with our flight day she searched for the best flights and prices for us. She was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I appreciated her patience as my mother and I explained what we wanted. Very easy and stress-free process thanks to her expertise."

My love of languages and exploring the world has naturally evolved into
a career in travel. I enjoy discovering what motivates your travels and
tailoring your trip to suit your own style and interests.
I have travelled extensively across Europe and lived abroad both in the UK and
Paraguay. Recent travel highlights include cruising Hawaii’s Islands and
experiencing the best of Washington DC.
My special interest is in cruising, from the world’s largest floating resorts
to casually cruising Europe’s rivers or the more adventurous Expedition ships
to the Antarctic. There is a cruise possibility for every personality and
preference!
I look forward to getting to know you and helping you to get the most out of
your next adventure.

Having been in the travel industry for 14 years, it's safe to say travel
is my biggest passion. I love turning up somewhere not knowing what to expect
and being delighted by both the differences in culture, cuisine and customs.
Part way through my career I took a year off and spent this travelling
extensively through central America, Asia and Europe. I'm now fortunate enough
to be able to pass on the knowledge I've gained over the years and work with my
clients to bring their travel dreams to fruition.
