Explore the best available India Tour Packages
India is Bangladesh’s closest and most culturally connected international destination — shared language roots in Bengali-speaking West Bengal, land border crossings a few hours from Dhaka, and everything from the Himalayan foothills to tropical beaches within reach of a single trip. Tafa Travel currently runs 22 fixed departure packages covering the Golden Triangle, Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Darjeeling and Northeast India, Goa, South India, and the Andaman Islands.
If you’re planning an India trip, read this first. India suspended tourist visa services for Bangladeshi nationals for nearly two years following the political unrest of August 2024. Standard tourist visa applications officially resumed on June 28, 2026, announced by the Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh at the IVAC centre in Dhaka.
What you need to know right now:
Applications are accepted at five IVAC centres: Dhaka, Rajshahi, Chittagong, Sylhet, and Khulna, with more centres expected to open over time
No Indian government visa fee for Bangladeshi nationals under the bilateral agreement — this has never changed
IVAC service charge applies (revised August 2025) — confirm the current amount when booking, as this is periodically updated
No e-Visa and no visa-on-arrival for Bangladeshi passport holders — a sticker visa from IVAC is mandatory before travel, whether flying or crossing by land
Standard tourist visas are typically valid 30–90 days for single entry; multiple-entry visas are also available
Expect a backlog in the weeks following reopening — after a two-year gap, demand is high. We recommend applying well in advance of your intended travel date
Medical visas continued to be processed on humanitarian grounds even during the suspension period, and remain a priority category
Since this situation has changed multiple times over the past two years, always confirm current status with our visa team or at ivacbd.com before finalizing travel dates. Our Visa Service team handles the full IVAC application process.

India is one of the few destinations Bangladeshi travelers can reach entirely overland, and many of our Kolkata, Darjeeling, and Sikkim-bound travelers use this route rather than flying:
By Air: Direct and connecting flights from Dhaka to Kolkata take approximately 1 hour direct; Delhi and Mumbai are reached via a short layover, typically 3–4 hours total.
By Land: The most commonly used border crossings are:
Benapole–Petrapole (near Jessore) — the busiest route, most convenient for Kolkata-bound trips
Akhaura–Agartala — convenient for travelers heading toward Northeast India (Shillong, Guwahati, Cherrapunjee)
Burimari–Changrabandha and Banglabandha–Fulbari — used for trips heading toward Siliguri, Darjeeling, and Sikkim
A valid Indian visa is required regardless of whether you fly or cross by land — there’s no visa-on-arrival at any border crossing.
Region and distance: Shorter, closer trips (Gangtok, 4D/3N from ৳27,000; Northeast India, 5D/4N from ৳19,000) cost less than longer multi-city itineraries (Grand India Multi-City, 14D/13N from ৳71,725).
Season: Kashmir and Himachal (Shimla-Manali) see peak pricing during summer (April–June) when Bangladeshi and Indian domestic travelers alike escape the heat; Darjeeling and Sikkim are busiest October–March for clear mountain views.
Transport mode: Fly-in packages generally cost more than land-route packages for Kolkata/Northeast-adjacent destinations, since flights add cost that overland travel avoids.
Number of cities: Multi-city packages (Golden Triangle + Kolkata, or the 14-day Grand India tour) cost more due to additional internal flights or long train/road segments between cities.
Group size: Larger groups typically get better per-person rates on shared vehicle transport, especially for hill destinations like Sikkim and Darjeeling where private car hire is common.
For groups of 6+, most of our regional circuits (Golden Triangle, Shimla-Manali, Darjeeling-Sikkim) can be arranged with:
Shared vehicle transport between cities, cheaper per head than individual transfers
Group rates at partner hotels across multi-city itineraries
A dedicated group coordinator managing visa documentation for the full group — useful given the current post-resumption IVAC backlog, since group applications can sometimes be coordinated together
Contact us with your group size and preferred region for a customized quote.
Family-friendly circuits generally favor easier terrain and shorter travel legs between stops:
Darjeeling and Gangtok — toy train rides, tea garden walks, and monastery visits that work well across age groups
Goa — beach access with minimal walking, a wide range of family-friendly resorts
Golden Triangle — historically significant and visually striking (Taj Mahal, Amber Fort) without requiring high-altitude travel or strenuous trekking
Kashmir and high-altitude Sikkim routes (Lachung) involve longer mountain drives and higher altitudes — worth discussing with our team if traveling with young children or elderly family members.
Popular honeymoon circuits lean toward scenic, slower-paced hill and coastal destinations:
Shimla & Manali — classic hill-station romance, with Solang Valley and Rohtang Pass activities for couples wanting some adventure alongside the scenery
Kashmir — Dal Lake houseboat stays in Srinagar and the Mughal gardens (Shalimar Bagh) are a longstanding honeymoon favorite
Goa — beach-resort pacing, a contrast to the hill-station options above
Darjeeling — tea estate views and the Himalayan Railway, a quieter and more budget-friendly honeymoon alternative to Kashmir or Himachal
The Golden Triangle — Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur — remains India’s most-booked circuit for first-time visitors:
Taj Mahal, Agra — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world’s most recognized landmarks
Amber Fort and Hawa Mahal, Jaipur — the “Pink City’s” signature Rajput architecture
Qutub Minar and India Gate, Delhi — anchoring the capital’s historical sightseeing
We offer this as both a standalone 7-day circuit and combined with Kolkata for travelers wanting to add a Bengali-cultural stop en route.
Beyond the well-known Shimla-Manali circuit, India’s hill stations vary meaningfully by altitude, crowd level, and scenery:
Darjeeling — tea gardens, the UNESCO-listed Himalayan Railway, and Kangchenjunga views, generally quieter and more budget-friendly than Kashmir or Himachal
Gangtok & Lachung, Sikkim — higher-altitude, closer to the Bangladesh border via the Northeast route, popular for travelers wanting dramatic mountain scenery without the longer flight/travel time to Kashmir
Shimla & Manali — the most-visited hill circuit, with more built-up tourist infrastructure and easier access to adventure activities like paragliding at Solang Valley
Ooty, part of our South India circuit — a cooler-climate alternative in the south, distinct in character from the Himalayan hill stations above
| Category | Typical Hotels | Best For |
|—|---|—|
| Standard (Base packages) | 3-star hotels across circuit cities | Budget travelers, group tours |
| Mid-range | 4-star hotels, better-located in tourist centers | Families, first-time visitors |
| Premium | 5-star properties, heritage hotels (notably in Jaipur/Rajasthan) | Honeymoon, special occasions |
Base packages typically include daily breakfast; confirm your specific package’s meal plan and hotel list at booking.

Can Bangladeshi nationals get an India tourist visa right now?
Yes — standard tourist visa applications resumed on June 28, 2026, after a nearly two-year suspension. Apply through IVAC in Dhaka, Rajshahi, Chittagong, Sylhet, or Khulna. Given the post-resumption backlog, apply well ahead of your travel date.

No. Bangladeshi passport holders must apply for a sticker visa through IVAC before traveling — this applies whether you’re flying or crossing by land border.
Can I travel to India by land from Bangladesh?
Yes — Benapole-Petrapole (near Jessore) is the most commonly used crossing for Kolkata-bound trips; Akhaura-Agartala suits Northeast India routes; Burimari-Changrabandha and Banglabandha-Fulbari suit Darjeeling/Sikkim-bound trips. A valid visa is required at all crossings.
Which region is best for a first-time India trip?
The Golden Triangle (Delhi-Agra-Jaipur) remains the most popular first-time circuit, combining the Taj Mahal with Rajasthani heritage architecture in a well-established 7-day itinerary.
Is Kashmir safe to visit right now?
Security conditions in Kashmir can change; check current travel advisories and consult our team before booking, especially for family or first-time travelers.
How long is the flight from Dhaka to Kolkata?
Approximately 1 hour direct — one of the shortest international flights available from Dhaka.
