First-Timer's Guide

Holi: What to Know Before You Go

👕
What to Wear
Wear old, light-coloured clothing you don't mind staining permanently. We provide a traditional kurta-pyjama — wear your own clothes underneath. Closed shoes or flip-flops you can rinse.
🧴
Protect Your Skin & Hair
Apply coconut or mustard oil on hair and skin 30 minutes before the celebration. It forms a barrier so colours wash out easily. Remove contact lenses and wear sunglasses.
📸
Protect Your Camera
Colour powder and water destroy electronics. Use a zip-lock bag or a waterproof case. A budget action cam or your oldest phone is recommended for the Holi celebration itself.
🎨
Organic Colours Only
We use only organic, skin-safe gulal — no synthetic or chemical dyes. Colours wash off with a couple of showers. Staining of hair may take a few washes to clear completely.
🙏
Ask Before Applying
"Bura na mano, Holi hai!" (Don't be offended, it's Holi!) — still, always ask before putting colour on strangers, especially elders. Our guide will brief everyone before the event.
🥛
About Thandai
Thandai is a traditional festive milk drink with rose petals and spices. Some versions contain bhang (cannabis edible) — our celebration serves non-bhang thandai. Check if in doubt.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — when celebrated in a hosted, organised setting as part of this tour, Holi is fun and very safe. Our celebration uses only organic colours, follows safety briefings and takes place in a managed venue with guides present throughout. We recommend keeping valuables locked in your hotel room.
The 5★ Deluxe category is our most popular choice for international travellers — a good balance of comfort, location and value. If budget allows, the Luxury/Heritage tier puts you in iconic properties like The Imperial (Delhi) or Taj Jai Mahal Palace (Jaipur), which add considerably to the experience.
The Taj Mahal is closed every Friday. In 2027, the Taj visit is on Sunday 21 March — open as normal. We visit at sunrise before it gets crowded.
Absolutely — we welcome solo travellers. The single supplement guarantees you a private room throughout. The $250–$1,050 supplement (depending on hotel tier) is worth it for the privacy and uninterrupted sleep, especially after the physical energy of a Holi day.
Taj Mahal entrance for foreign nationals is currently around ₹1,300 (~$15–16). Agra Fort and Amber Fort are similarly priced. Total entrance fees for international travellers across the tour typically run $60–90 per person. We can arrange a package that includes entrances — ask when booking.
March is an excellent time to visit — daytime temperatures around 25–32°C, little rain and pleasant evenings. Mornings can be slightly cool, perfect for the sunrise Taj visit. By late March it begins to warm up, so the first half of the month is slightly more comfortable.
Yes — we accept bank transfer and card payment in USD. In India, carry some cash in rupees for tips and small purchases. ATMs are widely available in all three cities. Tipping guide: ₹500–1,000/day for the guide, ₹300–500/day for the driver.
