Shortlisting India takes longer than the trip does. These are the 15 shows worth your time, each with its price, its duration and the one detail that decides it.

“Not just one abandoned village we even got to enjoy and spend some time with the people of Barna village. The team made sure to take good care of us Swiss tents were also so neat & clean. Every event was so fun and good, big shout oRead more”
Kathakali makeup, Kalaripayattu combat, and Theyyam in Kochi, with round-trip hotel transfers. Kerala culture show for about $11.
“The show was great. I appreciated the Theyyam dance and seeing someone embody the demi-God they were representing in earth. The host was also very good at giving an explanation about what we were watching and its history.”
Guided Akshardham temple tour with evening light show, ticketed exhibitions, pickup, bottled water, and optional dinner in Delhi.
“Must do! This my favourite tour I’ve done while in Delhi. Micky was our guide and he was so lovely, even helped us not slip over in the rain!!! He translated everything and told us the story of the light show. He taught us a lot and nothing was too much trouble! Thank you Micky and our lovely driver Pankaj!”
Akshardham at sunset with hotel pickup, multilingual guide, boat ride and films, plus a water and light fountain show.

Prebooked Akshardham temple entry with exhibition and a light and water show, plus door-to-door private transfers from Delhi.

Desert camping in Jaisalmer with Kuldhara, a sunset camel ride, dinner, folk dance music, star gazing, and breakfast, plus pickup.
“Good experience with karan desert safari with good hospitality and cultural activities with nice rooms and service..”
Skip-the-line entry to a Kathakali cultural show in central Fort Kochi, with priority seating and a behind-the-scenes makeup spectacle.
“The show is absolutely amazing. The only thing need to be improved is the management team should do seat arrangements better cause some of the guests are confused about where to take the seats and sit anywhere they want. It’s not fair to people who follow the direction and sit on the edge of the show room”
Walk Dharavi's alley industries, then tour a Bollywood studio set and watch live dance shows, with hotel pickup in Mumbai.
“We had an amazing time on our Bollywood tour and slum tour with Rahul. Rahul is very knowledgeable on both Bollywood and how it is to work and live in the slums ,he is friendly and approachable. Great at time keeping and professional at all times. We would highly recommend him as a guide. The Bollywood tour we felt was rather over priced at around £115 per person given cost of living in India just a bit much. There is no merchandise to buy after Bollywood tour which is such a shame as I think a lot of tourist might look for a small reminder of their tour . Kim…”
Mohabbat the Taj show in Agra with private transfers. Skip-the-line tickets, 90 minutes of dance, and headset translations included.
“It was absolutely amazing evening with great show!The transfer came very punctual and did wait us till the end of show! Nice car with air conditions too. Highly recommended! Iana.”
A 3-hour Film City tour from Mumbai with an A/C drive past famous sets, plus Bollywood dance and comedy shows, VFX, and 7D.
“Besides that we had a good guide, the tour was boring! Certainly for us, Europeans, there is not much about this "Bollywood Theme Park". U don't get to see any studios or live shooting of films/tv-shows. U can see 1 or 2 stages from the outside only, and it looked old. The Dance and Comedy show is only in Hindu, and does certainly not give a Bollywood Dance vibe. Luckily our guide was good.”
