1. Kinnaur – Kalpa (6N/7D, from ₹16,000)
October is apple-harvest season in Kinnaur, with clear skies over the Kinner Kailash range. Sangla, Chitkul and Kalpa are less crowded than Shimla–Manali. Read our Kalpa guide.
2. Kashmir in autumn (from ₹15,500)
Golden chinar trees, crisp air and fewer crowds than summer. See our guide to Kashmir in October.

October brings the clearest views of Panchachuli from Munsiyari and the Himalayan panorama from Kausani and Binsar.
4. Darjeeling hills and Rampuria
Close to home and beautiful in October. Women travellers can join our Rampuria Reverie (₹7,200 with all meals).
5. Kerala (7N/8D, ₹24,500)
Post-monsoon Kerala is green and fresh, with full waterfalls and calm backwaters.

The desert cools down after mid-October – our Royal Rajasthan tour (₹25,500) is a great Diwali-to-winter option.
Puja travel tips

- Travel on Dashami or Ekadashi if you want to celebrate Puja at home first.
