We had a memorable time in Delhi and Agra, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience of seeing the city and the countryside as we traveled between the two cities. The sites were amazing, as expected, and our guides were able and helpful in explaining what we were seeing and answering our many questions. They did a great job of ensuring we were able to get great photos as well along the way.

Alkof Holidays was a very good choice for arranging an individual journey throughout Darjeeling, Sikkim and Bhutan in November 2025. The planning via e-mail was easy and turned out to be perfect. The whole tour was professionally organized and included all important points of interest as well as our individual preferences. The guides and drivers in Darjeeling/Sikkim as well as in Bhutan were very nice, helpful and competent. Mr. Sanjeev Kumar himself was at all times very polite, kind and accommodating. Thank you! I can highly recommend Alkof Holidays!

First, I want to highlight that ALKOF HOLIDAYS truly deserves more than 5 stars!

First, I want to highlight that ALKOF HOLIDAYS truly deserves more than 5 stars!... First, I want to highlight that ALKOF HOLIDAYS truly deserves more than 5 stars! When my friend Elisabeth and I decided to take this trip, Mr. Sanjeev Kumar contacted us — and that turned out to be the best choice we could have made! He suggested different hotels, recommended excursions, and always ensured we had options that met our expectations and complete satisfaction. He customized the tour according to our wishes in the best possible way. He arranged highly competent, pleasant, friendly, and helpful guides and drivers with excellent cars. They always accepted all our ‘extra wishes,’ such as photo stops or changes in the planned schedule, and were always exactly on time. Mr. Gurvinder Singh gave us a wonderfully informative tour in Kolkata. During our days in Darjeeling, we had Mr. Amid Gurung, who was extremely caring, helpful, and always adjusted the excursions—especially those involving many steps or steep climbs—to my age (79). He supported me with great caution by holding my arm or hand whenever needed. Our driver, Mr. Binai, was the best driver you could imagine, especially considering the road conditions—landslides, rocks, roadwork, heavy traffic—but he handled everything perfectly and calmly! In Bhutan, our guide Mr. Sungay was such a pleasant companion and shared a lot about the country, its people, religion, and lifestyle. Our driver Ellis was also very kind, but Elisabeth somehow did not feel comfortable with his driving (although I did not agree!). So, we changed to Mr. Rimchen, another extremely kind, helpful, charming, pleasant, and excellent driver. We had a wonderful and very interesting trip with extraordinary views of mountains, monasteries, temples, tea estates, forests, rivers, flowers, and beautiful houses. We met unforgettable, kind people — and to top it all, we enjoyed blue skies and warm sunshine every single day! Mr. Sanjeev Kumar was always reachable whenever needed. Even when we returned to Delhi, he accompanied us to an extraordinary fabric factory that my friend wanted to visit. He arranged a car for the visit and organized a bigger vehicle for our return to the airport to accommodate all our luggage. Thanks to ALKOF HOLIDAYS, and especially to Mr. Sanjeev Kumar — who spent so much time and effort arranging our reservations, visas, and all the special extras — we look back on a wonderful trip we will never forget. We will continue to enjoy all the photos we took! We will certainly recommend ALKOF HOLIDAYS to all our friends and family who are interested in tours to Southeast Asia. Once again, my sincere thanks and best regards to Alkof Holidays! Sylvia Veronika Lukas

Shopping Tours Travel FAQs

India offers incredible variety for shoppers. In Rajasthan, you'll find hand-block printed textiles, silver jewelry, and blue pottery from Jaipur. Delhi's markets sell everything from spices and teas to leather goods and carpets. Kerala specializes in spices, coffee, and coconut products. Kashmir produces world-famous pashmina shawls and carpets. Mumbai has designer boutiques and Bollywood memorabilia. At Alkof Holidays, we take you to authentic local markets and reputable shops where artisans work. You'll avoid tourist traps and find genuine handmade items. Our guides help with bargaining and quality checks.
Most shopping tours work well in 7-10 days. This gives you time to explore 2-3 cities properly. A 5-day tour covers one city thoroughly. Delhi needs 2-3 days for its different market areas. Jaipur requires 2 days minimum for textiles, jewelry, and handicrafts. Mumbai needs 2-3 days to cover both street markets and designer stores. At Alkof Holidays, we customize the duration based on your interests. Textile lovers might spend extra time in Rajasthan. Spice enthusiasts could focus more days in Kerala. We build in rest time so you're not rushing between shops.
October to March offers the best shopping weather across India. Markets are comfortable to walk through during these cooler months. Avoid April to September when heat and monsoons make outdoor shopping difficult. Festival seasons bring special items but also crowds. Diwali season (October-November) offers great textile and jewelry collections. Post-monsoon months (September-October) have fresh spice harvests in Kerala. Winter months (December-February) are perfect for exploring Rajasthan's outdoor markets. At Alkof Holidays, we time your tour to match both weather and local shopping seasons. Each region has its optimal months for specific items.
Our shopping tours combine cultural exploration with authentic retail experiences. You'll visit local markets, artisan workshops, and family-run stores. We avoid commercial tourist shops that inflate prices. Your guide explains the history behind each craft and helps identify quality items. You'll learn proper bargaining techniques and fair pricing. We include visits to textile mills, jewelry workshops, and spice gardens where possible. Transportation between shops is included. At Alkof Holidays, we pre-arrange meetings with trusted vendors who offer authentic items. You get time to browse without pressure and make informed decisions.
Delhi leads for variety with Chandni Chowk, Khan Market, and Karol Bagh offering everything from spices to electronics. Jaipur excels in textiles, jewelry, and handicrafts at Johari Bazaar and Bapu Bazaar. Mumbai combines street markets like Colaba Causeway with designer stores in Bandra. Varanasi specializes in silk sarees and religious items. Kerala's Fort Kochi has spice markets and antiques. Goa offers cashews, textiles, and beach jewelry. At Alkof Holidays, we create routes connecting the best shopping cities. Each destination has its specialties, and we match locations to your interests.
You need a valid tourist visa for India. Most nationalities can apply online for e-visas. Your passport should have 6 months validity remaining. No special permits are needed for shopping. However, certain antiques over 100 years old require export permits. We advise keeping receipts for expensive purchases as customs might ask questions. At Alkof Holidays, we provide a pre-departure checklist covering visa requirements. Our team helps with any documentation needed for valuable purchases. We also guide you on customs allowances for your home country to avoid surprises at the airport.
India's major shopping areas are generally safe during daylight hours. We recommend carrying limited cash and using hotel safes for extra money. Most established shops accept credit cards, but local markets prefer cash. Avoid displaying large amounts of money publicly. Keep copies of important documents separately. At Alkof Holidays, our guides stay with you throughout shopping excursions. We choose well-lit, busy market areas with good security. Our vehicles remain nearby for secure storage of purchases. We also recommend travel insurance that covers valuable purchases during your trip.
Most established shops offer international shipping services. They handle customs paperwork and provide tracking numbers. Shipping costs vary by weight and destination country. Air shipping takes 7-15 days while sea freight takes 4-8 weeks. Some items like textiles and handicrafts ship easily, while others need special packing. At Alkof Holidays, we work with shops that have reliable shipping records. We help verify shipping credentials and keep tracking information organized. Our team also advises on insurance options for valuable shipments. We recommend shipping from larger cities where services are more reliable.
Bargaining is expected in most markets but not in fixed-price stores. Start negotiations at 60-70% of the quoted price. Multiple purchases from one vendor often get better discounts. Remove shoes when entering some traditional shops and homes. Touching items before buying is generally acceptable. Avoid pointing with your feet or touching items with your left hand. Friday afternoons might see reduced hours in Muslim areas. At Alkof Holidays, our guides teach you appropriate bargaining techniques for each location. They also explain local customs and help navigate cultural differences during shopping experiences.
Pack light initially to leave room for purchases. Bring a sturdy day bag for carrying items between shops. Comfortable walking shoes are essential for market exploration. Cotton clothes work best in warm weather. Bring hand sanitizer for use after handling items in busy markets. A small flashlight helps examine details in poorly lit shops. Keep a notebook for recording purchases and shop details. At Alkof Holidays, we provide a detailed packing list based on your destinations and season. We also suggest bringing an extra suitcase or purchasing one locally for your return journey.
