Diwali Festival Of Lights Tour In India 2026

This seven-day trip is built around Diwali, India's Festival of Lights, when homes and streets are lit with diyas, candles and fireworks to mark the triumph of light over dark. You'll be there for the run-up and the celebrations themselves, seeing how the festival is actually lived rather than just watching it from the sidelines.

Expect decorated homes, rangoli patterns laid out on doorsteps, prayers to Ganesha and Lakshmi, and sweets shared between family, friends and neighbours. It's a festival that touches nearly every household in India, and this trip puts you in the middle of that atmosphere.

With an easy pace and a mix of guided and independent time, it's designed to suit families and groups who want to experience a major Indian festival without a packed, rigid schedule.
