Festival Experiences
Northern India's festivals are among the most spectacular events on earth. We build your entire trip around them.
Holi
The world's most vibrant colour festival. Mathura and Vrindavan — birthplace of Lord Krishna — host the most authentic and spiritual Holi celebrations on earth, drawing thousands of devotees and travellers.
Pushkar Camel Fair
One of the world's largest livestock fairs, the Pushkar Mela is a kaleidoscope of colours, camel races, folk music, and spiritual bathing in the holy Pushkar Lake.
Diwali
The Festival of Lights transforms India into a sea of diyas, fireworks, and sweets. Jaipur's illuminated palaces and Varanasi's Ganga Aarti during Diwali are once-in-a-lifetime sights.
Kumbh Mela
The largest peaceful gathering of humans on earth. Millions of pilgrims bathe at the Triveni Sangam during Kumbh. Next Maha Kumbh: 2025.
Gangaur
Rajasthan's biggest women's festival honours Goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva. Colourful processions, traditional dress, and local rituals make it a photographer's dream.
Desert Festival (Jaisalmer)
Three days of Rajasthani folk music, camel polo, turban-tying competitions, and dazzling folk dances against the backdrop of the Sam Sand Dunes.
