India for travel agents.
From the palaces of Rajasthan to the backwaters of Kerala, Ladakh's high desert to Kashmir's valleys — deepest expertise, largest hotel network, sharpest tariffs. Home turf.
Twenty-eight states,
one home-turf DMC.
India is not one destination — it is at least a dozen. Rajasthan sells like a European fairy-tale; Kerala sells like a slow-luxury retreat; Ladakh sells like an adventure passport stamp; Varanasi sells like a spiritual awakening. Matching the right circuit to the right client is the difference between a return booking and a difficult review.
ILH is headquartered in Greater Noida with on-ground teams across every state we sell. Our founders started here; our infrastructure is deepest here. That translates to sharper hotel rates, faster permit turnarounds, tighter driver-guide quality control, and the ability to handle service recovery in real time — critical on any 10-plus-day India programme.
Send us the client brief. We return a shortlist of routings matched to travel style, budget bracket and season — with hotel options, transport plan and permit implications noted line by line.
Proven routings, ready to tailor.

Agent questions, answered.
Do you handle e-Tourist Visa (eTV) applications for India?
We provide guidance and documentation checklists for e-Tourist Visa applications, though clients apply directly at indianvisaonline.gov.in. We support with hotel confirmation letters, itinerary evidence and address confirmations required by the application. For nationalities eligible for the 30-day, 1-year or 5-year e-Visa, we brief agents on which category best suits the client.
What is the best circuit for a first-time luxury client in India?
For 8–12 nights, the Golden Triangle Plus (Delhi–Agra–Ranthambore–Jaipur–Udaipur) delivers the highest first-time impact. For 12–15 nights, extend to Kerala backwaters for contrast. Rajasthan alone (Jaipur–Jodhpur–Udaipur–Jaisalmer) works for 10 nights with palace-hotel focus.
Which luxury hotel chains do you contract with?
Confirmed rates with Oberoi, Taj (IHCL), ITC Luxury Collection, Leela Palaces, Amanbagh, Aman-i-Khas, Sujan properties, RAAS, Six Senses Fort Barwara, and The Postcard Hotel. Boutique heritage properties across Rajasthan available on request.
Do you organise fixed-departure group tours from overseas markets?
Yes. Our India Fixed Departure calendar includes Golden Triangle, and Golden Triangle with Kashmir. View the India Fixed Departure page →
Are permits required for Ladakh or Kashmir travel?
Ladakh Inner Line Permits are required for foreign nationals visiting Nubra Valley, Pangong Lake, Tso Moriri and Dah Hanu. ILH processes these permits with 48-hour lead time. Kashmir does not require special permits for international travellers.
How do you structure GST on India tariffs for overseas agents?
Foreign-inbound bookings are treated as export of services under Indian GST rules. We share GST-inclusive tariffs by default and can provide GST-exclusive rates with LUT documentation for eligible arrangements. Our finance team briefs your accounts contact directly on payment routing.
