India Christmas Holidays

Celebrating 25 Years of tour excellence

Christmas (called Bada Din, “big day”) is a big occasion in India, particularly in the cities, with people of all religions joining in the seasonal festivities both in the traditional ways that we know, and ways that are uniquely Indian. You may spot Christmas trees, lights and decorations and food stalls serving up seasonal treats, as well as people exchanging gifts, singing carols and really feeling the merriment.

Churches hold Midnight Mass and are beautifully decorated with poinsettias and candles. Food, of course, is central to the celebrations, some places even serving up turkey and others feasts full of local flavours like delicious biryanis and curries. The weather is sublime too – December is one of the finest months to visit India, with warm temperatures, minimal rainfall, low humidity and plenty of sunshine.

Special Festive Experiences on Christmas in India

Christmas in India takes you through the iconic sights of the Golden Triangle and beyond, exploring the treasures of capital city Delhi, admiring the awesome extravagance of the Rajasthani cities of Jaipur, Udaipur and Pushkar (where you’ll experience an aarti ceremony on the lakeside ghats) and venturing into the wilds of Ranthambore National Park to seek out Bengal tigers.

Enjoy Christmas Eve festivities at your hotel in Agra with the option of attending Midnight Mass in St Mary’s Church. Christmas Day is dedicated to India’s most famous monument, the Taj Mahal; you’ll have ample time to explore it at your leisure in the morning. Sit down to a Christmas feast for lunch before heading up to a rooftop to sip on champagne as the sun sets spectacularly behind the Taj Mahal. End the day with a spectacular performance of ‘Mohabbat the Taj’, a musical show depicting the love story between Emperor Shahjahan and his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal.
