Festivities as well as flag-hoisting ceremonies are held throughout the country. One of the most important Hindu festivals, this 10-day spectacle celebrates the victory of Good over Evil. Known as The Festival of Lights, this is thought to be the prettiest of all Indian festivals. A general air of festivity is evident during this time as major cities are decorated in honor of the season. Frequent festivals large and small take place in Nepal, Bhutan and Sri Lanka, bringing the people together to socialize.
Events often go on for days, with singing, dancing, feasting and sporting events.
Among the special features of all SITA tours is the limited group size - under 20 members. We believe that small groups are the most enjoyable, offer the greatest degree of flexibility and assure the level of personalized attention and service for which SITA has gained a respected reputation. SITA's India experts will arrange a convenient connection between your city of origination and the nearest British Airways or Singapore Airlines gateway, as necessary. Airfares are based on low season and subject to change without notice. Please check for shoulder and high season fares and applicable add-on fares from your home city.
