Nonstop 12.5–13 hours: Air India from Sydney and Melbourne to Delhi; one-stops via Singapore or the Gulf put every Australian capital within easy reach.
When To Go
The Australian winter escape (June–September) matches Ladakh, the Himalaya and the monsoon-green south; October–March — your summer — is peak season for Rajasthan, tigers and the Taj.
Good To Know
E-visa in 24–72 hours · Only 4.5–5.5 hours behind AEST — no real jet lag · Cricket, coffee and conversation come standard with your chauffeur.
Famous Journeys, Recomposed Privately
The Beatles in Rishikesh. A young Steve Jobs in the Himalayas. Jackie Kennedy on Lake Pichola. Journeys that changed their travellers — retraced privately, to our standard.
Reading from the Road
Editorial notes on where to go, when, and why — written by the people who plan the journeys.
Entering India: What You Actually Need
Travel to almost everywhere has become more paperwork than it was. India's e-Visa system is genuinely straightforward, but a handful of rules — the six-month passport rule, the designated entry points, the 180-day calendar-year cap — account for nearly every problem we see.
Sarnath Becomes India's 45th World Heritage Site
On 27 July 2026, after twenty-eight years on the tentative list, the Ancient Buddhist Site at Sarnath was inscribed by UNESCO. An honest account of what a World Heritage listing does for a place, what it does to it, and how to see Sarnath well.
Jaipur, Sixth Happiest City in the World
Time Out placed Jaipur sixth of 150 cities in July 2026, ahead of Chicago and Shanghai. The survey asked residents how they feel about living there, not visitors how they were treated — which is exactly why the result is worth reading carefully rather than repeating.
