Special Meals on Tour

India's diversity of culture, religion and region shows up most vividly at the dining table. A typical Indian meal can range from richly spiced curries to milder regional preparations, with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, and a sweet course that varies from state to state. For travellers with specific dietary needs, that variety is worth planning for rather than leaving to chance.

As part of our tour planning, Era Tours helps arrange special meals along your route — pure vegetarian and Jain food, non-vegetarian preferences, and other dietary or religious requirements — by coordinating directly with the hotels and restaurants on your itinerary. The more detail you can give us about your preferences and any restrictions, the better we can brief the kitchens you will be dining with.

Beyond Indian cuisine

In most of India's metropolitan cities and well-established tourist circuits, you will also find Continental, European, Chinese, Oriental, Muslim, Italian and Spanish restaurants and menu options, alongside the local Indian fare. Travelling with Era Tours, our itineraries are designed to give you the chance to sample this range — from a classic North Indian thali to more familiar international dishes when you want a change of pace.

In smaller towns and more remote parts of an itinerary, the choice of international cuisine naturally narrows, and hotel or local Indian kitchens are usually the most reliable option. Where a destination has limited choice, we will let you know in advance so there are no surprises on the day.

Meal arrangements are built into your overall tour plan rather than booked separately, so once your itinerary and dietary preferences are confirmed, our team follows up with each property along the way to make sure your requirements are on record.
