Newmarket Holidays is predicting a surge in India tour bookings following the return of the country's e-Tourist Visas for British citizens this week, and has launched a 10% discount on all India tours booked before 24 December 2022.

Prior to the pandemic India was a top-selling destination for the escorted tour specialist, but the application process for e-Tourist Visas for British citizens was paused in March 2020, and then replaced by in-person appointments that led to long delays in processing applications.

Richard Harrington, Newmarket Holidays Destination Manager – US, Canada & Asia cheered the change: "It's great news that the e-Tourist Visa has returned. It's a far simpler, faster and much cheaper option for customers travelling to this much-loved destination."

Newmarket Holidays offers nine escorted tours and has 60 available departure dates for India in 2023 and 2024, with all guided group trips including hand-picked accommodation, escorted excursions and activities that take travellers beyond the guidebooks, meals, transfers and return flights.

Three of the Newmarket Holidays' most popular India tours include:

India - Tigers & the Taj Mahal, a Newmarket Holidays bestseller that is the perfect introduction to one of the world's most fascinating and alluring destinations. It visits the Golden Triangle of spectacular northern cities, Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, and incredible sites that include the Taj Mahal at dawn, the Palace of the Winds and the ancient Amber and Red Forts, before searching for tigers in the jungle of Ranthambhore (10 days from £1,309pp, with the discount).
