Why French travellers choose India (and Nepal, and Bhutan)
Cultural diversity
Each region of India speaks a different language, eats a different cuisine, and follows different traditions. Marvel at the Taj Mahal, wander colourful local markets, and witness festivals and rituals that have continued for centuries—all within one country.
Wildlife safaris
Spot Bengal tigers, rhinos, elephants, and rare birds in national parks like Ranthambore and Kaziranga, set against some of India’s most dramatic natural landscapes.
Ayurveda & wellness
India is the birthplace of Ayurveda. In Kerala’s wellness retreats, restore balance through traditional therapies, yoga, and meditation in a calm, tropical setting.
Himalayan journeys
From snow-capped Ladakh to the green valleys of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, the Himalayas offer ancient monasteries, scenic mountain drives, and village walks unlike anything in Europe.
Beaches & winter sun
Trade the German winter for the golden beaches of Goa, the backwaters of Kerala, or the turquoise waters of the Andaman Islands.
UNESCO heritage
Walk through the Taj Mahal, the rock-cut Ellora Caves, Jaipur’s Jantar Mantar, and the Western Ghats—a concentration of world heritage sites rarely matched elsewhere.

Practical information for German travellers
Visa
German citizens can apply for an Indian e-visa online, usually approved within a few days. Nepal offers visa-on-arrival. Bhutan entry must be arranged through an authorized operator like Excursion2India as part of a booked tour.
Flights from Germany
Direct flights connect Frankfurt and Munich to Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru with Lufthansa, alongside one-stop options via Middle Eastern hubs (Dubai, Doha, and Istanbul). One-stop options are also available from European hubs like London, Paris, and Helsinki. Flight time is typically 8–13 hours depending on route.
Best time to visit
October to March is most comfortable for sightseeing and wildlife safaris. April to September suits the Himalayan regions like Ladakh and Kashmir better, with cheaper hotel rates too. For Nepal and Bhutan, April–May and late September–March work best.
Language
English is widely spoken across hotels, airports, and tourism services. French- or German-speaking guides can be arranged if informed in advance.
