While same-sex marriage is not yet legal, India has made significant strides in LGBTQ+ rights since decriminalising homosexual sex in 2018. Societal acceptance has steadily grown, especially in major cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore, which boast vibrant gay scenes and host lively Pride celebrations—perfect for those embarking on LGBTQ India travel.

India’s breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural heritage make it an extraordinary destination. In Northern India, marvel at the Taj Mahal or explore Rajasthan’s bustling markets during tailored private tours. In Kerala, palm-lined beaches and lush tea plantations offer tranquillity and beauty, providing the ideal setting for a serene LGBT-friendly India holiday.

The dining scenes in cosmopolitan hubs like Mumbai showcase Indian fusion cuisine, blending local ingredients with global influences. Sample innovative takes on street food at upscale restaurants or enjoy the authentic flavours on bustling streets. At night, toast to your gay holiday in India with cocktails infused with regional spices as you explore the country’s burgeoning nightlife.

With its rich cultural heritage, stunning landscapes, and welcoming atmosphere, India is the perfect destination for an unforgettable gay-friendly holiday. Whether you are seeking pampering spas, jungle safaris, serene beaches, or ancient wonders, LGBT-friendly India holidays make you feel embraced across this incredibly diverse nation.

At Out Of Office, we specialise in combining inclusive service with exclusive travel experiences, but you can find non-LGBTQ+ specific information on travel in India by visiting our India destination page.
