Excellent Hotels
We have been looking after the travel arrangements of happy customers since 1983, and we are privileged to be able to continue to share the sights and sounds, the natural wonders and the man-made glories of our wonderful world with them. When you select a Newmarket Holiday, you can rest assured that you have chosen a company that will provide you with an experience that not only belies the price you pay, but that also matches and regularly exceeds your expectations. All of your travel arrangements are safe and financially protected through our ATOL bond with the CAA.
We truly do hand pick the hotels used on our India tours, carefully looking for places that will not just be a welcome rest at the end of a busy day’s sightseeing but somewhere which will become a memorable part of your holiday. We stay in some truly unique properties. Shahpura House in Jaipur is an oasis away from the busy city with lovely lawns surrounding the pool while heritage hotels like Patan Mahal, high in the hills, are reached only by camel cart. There’s Raj Niwas Palace in Dholpur, set in the grounds of a former palace and where all rooms have a private plunge pool, or enjoy luxury tented accommodation at the Vanaashrya Resort. Location is important too - the Trident hotel in Agra is just around the corner from the Taj Mahal - as is food, and a plentiful buffet breakfast and dinner awaits in all hotels. See the tour pages for full details.
Our Tour Managers Adding immeasurably to the pleasure of every Newmarket escorted tour, our dedicated, professional Tour Managers bring to life the places visited, providing colour and local background to the sights and attractions.
Meals & sightseeing Our tours include virtually all sightseeing as well as entrance fees to the monuments we visit. Half board accommodation is the norm with a scattering of lunches also included on most tours. All of this adds to the extraordinary value of your holiday.
Upgrade your flight All of our tours to India include travel in economy class with reputable scheduled airlines where all meals, drinks and entertainment are included - Virgin Atlantic, Jet Airways and Etihad Airways.

Strange & wonderful
Holy men, stepwells, border ceremonies, breath-taking rickshaw rides‌ India is all of these and so much more!
Stepwells The other-worldly stepwells of India are an incredible sight to behold. One of the finest examples, Abhaneri’s Chand Baori, is some 1,300 years old and still serves the age old purpose of conserving water in an arid climate, and acting as a gathering place for locals during periods of intense heat – the temperature at the bottom being some 4-5 degrees lower than at the surface! You may recognise it from the UK film Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. See pages 14, 16, 18 & 20 for tours that visit Chand Baori

The river’s banks are lined with ghats (a series of steps leading down to the water’s edge) used by the faithful to approach and enter the water, so that their bodies (and indeed souls) can be purified by the flowing water. See page 22 for our tour where you can witness the sacred Aarti rituals on the ghats of the Ganges
