Not sure which train, metro, bus or local transport to take? We’ll help you understand your options and how to get where you need to go.
India for international travellers
One country.
A thousand different journeys.
Snowy mountains. Tropical beaches. Big cities, quiet villages, deserts, forests, backwaters and food that changes from one region to the next.
Travel a few hundred kilometres and India can feel completely different.
Whatever kind of trip you have in mind, there’s probably an India for it.Plan My India Trip →High northHimalayas & mountain journeys

More than a booking
We help you prepare for India.
And stay available while you’re here.
Routes, hotels and transport are only part of a good trip. Backyourtrip also helps you know what to expect before you arrive and gives you real people to reach during your journey.
Every supported journey is designed around access to a verified BYT Local Expert who understands the places you’re visiting.What that looks like
Real support for navigating India.
India can be incredible. When you don’t know how something works, having someone you can ask can make all the difference.
Know what things should cost
Get local context on typical prices, from cabs and local transport to markets and everyday services, so you have a better idea of what’s reasonable before you pay.
Help dealing with service providers
Confused about a SIM card, hotel issue, cab booking, transport provider or another local service? Contact us and we’ll help you understand the situation, communicate where needed and work out your next step.
Understand local customs and cultural norms
From clothing and etiquette to timings, local practices and what to expect in different places, we’ll help you navigate situations with more confidence.
Help when you feel lost or unsure
Sometimes the problem isn’t an emergency. You simply don’t know what to do next. Message or call us and we’ll help you figure it out.
Support when something unexpected happens
Plans change. Bookings go wrong. You might end up somewhere unfamiliar or encounter a situation you weren’t prepared for. We’ll help you understand your options and decide what to do next.
In-person assistance when you genuinely need it
If a situation cannot reasonably be solved over a call or chat, we can arrange local in-person assistance where available and within your support plan.
Not a tour guide following you around. A real person to turn to when you need help navigating India.

When something changes
You don’t have to start from zero.
Your train changes. Your driver is delayed. Your hotel doesn’t understand a request. You message BYT, and a local expert who knows your journey helps you understand the situation and work out the next step.
We haven’t simply booked your holiday. There are real people at BYT behind it.
Support covers guidance, communication and coordination during your agreed support window. Backyourtrip does not replace police, medical, emergency or physical security services.

Mountains. Beaches. Cities. Backwaters.

Before you decide
Questions travellers usually ask.
Is this only for first-time visitors to India?
No. We help first-time visitors and returning travellers who want a more thoughtful, supported way to experience India.
Can you help me decide where in India to go?
Yes. Tell us what you enjoy, your pace, dates and priorities. We’ll help you find the version of India that fits you.
Can you customise the trip around my interests?
Yes. The route, stays, transport and experiences are shaped around your travel style rather than a fixed package.
Can you help arrange stays and transport?
Yes. We can recommend and coordinate appropriate stays and transport as part of your journey.
Will I have local support while I’m travelling?
Yes. You will have a local Backyourtrip point of contact who knows your journey and can help guide and coordinate when you need support.
What happens if my plans change while I’m in India?
We help you understand the options, coordinate with providers where appropriate and work through the next practical step with you.
Can you help families, couples, solo travellers and groups?
Yes. We tailor the planning and support to who is travelling and what they need from the trip.
