India Tour Packages from Mumbai
Mumbai is one of the most practical starting points for a private India tour. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport operates direct flights to Delhi, Jaipur, Varanasi, Aurangabad, Nagpur, Goa, Chennai, and Kochi, which means international travellers connecting through Mumbai can reach almost any region of India without an additional overnight stop in the capital.
The tours listed on this page are built around that geography. Itineraries originating from Mumbai fall into a few natural groupings. Maharashtra circuits cover Aurangabad with the Ajanta and Ellora caves, Nashik, Pune, and Shirdi, and are well suited to travellers who want to open or close their India journey with a few days in the city itself. Central India wildlife tours use Mumbai as the closest major gateway to Tadoba, Pench, Kanha, and Bandhavgarh, making Mumbai the logical departure point for serious tiger safari itineraries. Rajasthan and Golden Triangle tours typically fly into Delhi and return to Mumbai, or vice versa, covering the north-south arc of India within a single itinerary. South India tours extend from Mumbai down the Konkan coast and into Kerala, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu.
All private India tours starting from Mumbai listed here are planned and operated by Alkof Holidays, an inbound tour operator in India with over a decade of experience managing travel for international visitors. Every itinerary is private, meaning no shared coaches or fixed group departures. Departure dates are set by you, group size is your own, and the pace of each day is structured around your interests rather than a standard programme.
Itinerary durations on this page range from single-day guided tours of Mumbai itself to multi-week circuits across India. Prices vary by duration, accommodation category, and inclusions. Where a price is shown, it reflects the lowest accommodation tier available for that itinerary. All tours can be adjusted in terms of hotels, routing, and duration before booking.
If you are undecided on which itinerary fits your travel dates or interests, use the filters on this page to narrow by duration, region, or travel style, or contact our team directly for a conversation about what is possible within your schedule.

I was in India for business, Alkof Holidays was able to arrange a custom itinerary based on where I was, when I was available, and what I was interested in. When I wanted to make an adjustment mid-trip they helped out for no extra charge. I will not hesitate to use them again.

My daughter, I and my husband enjoyed the tour. Will travel with them again, next time to Ladakh. Thank you.

The wildlife sightings exceeded all expectations.
My husband and I have just returned from this amazing private tour with Alkof Ho... My husband and I have just returned from this amazing private tour with Alkof Holidays. Communication before and during the trip was excellent. Having WhatsApp and an eSIM was very helpful, and any questions we had were answered quickly. Internal flights, boarding passes, and transfers were all clearly organized. Our focus was wildlife, but we were also very happy with the accommodation throughout the trip. We stayed at Kavish Gir Lion Resort and Aranyak Resorts near Kanha and Bandhavgarh. The rooms were spacious, the food was excellent, and the staff were always welcoming. Be prepared for some long road journeys and flights, but they are all part of the adventure. We appreciated arriving at the national park gates early each morning, as the cooler hours provided the best wildlife viewing opportunities. The wildlife sightings exceeded all expectations. At Gir National Park, we saw an incredible 26 Asiatic lions, including cubs, along with jackals, mongoose, wild boar, and many beautiful bird species. At Bandhavgarh, we were fortunate to spot six tigers, as well as Indian gaur, owls, hornbills, eagles, and vultures. One of the most memorable moments was watching a magnificent tiger slowly cross the road directly in front of our safari vehicle. Alkof Holidays and India made this trip truly unforgettable. We highly recommend Alkof Holidays to wildlife lovers and would happily travel with them again. A few tips for future travelers: bring binoculars, a good camera, and some extra tissues or toilet paper. We were also advised that mobile phones are not permitted during safaris in India's national parks, which was not an issue for us as keen photographers.

Frequently asked questions about India
India does not have a single best season because the country spans multiple climate zones. October to March suits heritage and cultural circuits across the north and the desert regions. South India travels well through the same period and into April. Wildlife reserves follow their own seasonal calendars, with peak sighting windows varying by reserve. We suggest you discuss this with our travel experts who will share in-depth details of every destination you want to visit, so you can schedule your trip at the best time of year.

India is a safe destination for solo travelers when planned correctly. Reputable accommodation, private transfers, and a local contact at each destination significantly reduce risk.

Carrying a combination of cash and an internationally accepted debit or credit card is advisable. Inform your bank of travel dates before departure to avoid cards being blocked. USD and GBP can be exchanged at authorised money changers in all major cities.
Mumbai is one of the best starting points for travellers from the UK, USA, UAE, East Africa, and Southeast Asia, thanks to its extensive international flight connections and competitive airfares. Our private India tours starting from Mumbai cover everything from the royal palaces of Rajasthan and the heritage sites of Gujarat to tiger safaris in Central India and relaxing beach holidays in Goa. First-time visitors often choose Mumbai as their gateway to India because of its modern infrastructure, widespread use of English, and excellent transport links to some of the country's most iconic destinations.

Malaria prophylaxis is advised for travel to certain regions including parts of Rajasthan, Odisha, and Northeast India. Yellow Fever vaccination is required only if arriving from a country with risk of Yellow Fever transmission. Requirements can change, so always verify current recommendations with a medical professional before travel.
