How to Plan a Multi-State Indian Itinerary

India is vast—planning a 10–15 day trip across multiple states requires balance between variety and depth. Here’s how to structure it:

Tips:

  • Choose One Region: Combine neighboring states like Kerala + Tamil Nadu, or Delhi + Rajasthan + Agra (Golden Triangle).
  • Use Hubs: Fly into Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, or Kolkata, and plan road/train loops.
  • Slow Travel Wins: Don’t pack too many cities—opt for 3–4 bases and day trips.
  • Factor in Festivals: Check if any major events like Holi, Diwali, or Onam occur—great for immersion.
  • Train or Flight?: Use trains for short (under 8 hrs) scenic trips, flights for longer routes.
  • Keep Buffer Days: Indian travel can be unpredictable—delays, closures, or weather changes are common.
  • Pack Light + Smart: Carry versatile clothes for both hot cities and cool hill towns.

Metro Access: Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, Kolkata as travel hubs.
