Coming in at over 3 million km², India is one of the biggest countries in the world. That means it serves up a full spectrum of landscapes, from high-speed cities and ancient monuments to snowy mountains and tropical sandy beaches.
You could opt for a cheap, easy flight from Auckland to Delhi or Mumbai. Alternatively, head for the outer reaches of India. The beaches of Goa were a hangout for yoga-loving hippies, while a flight to Thiruvananthapuram opens up the doorway to the jungle rivers of Kerala.
Alternatively, you can travel with a mix of airlines. So you might fly to your stopover city with Air New Zealand and then switch to an Emirates flight to India.
All flights include a stopover, so you’ll also pass through the international airport of cities such as Singapore, Dubai or Melbourne.
A flight from Auckland to India will unlock a treasure trove of iconic monuments and mystical landscapes. You could head for a city like New Delhi or Agra, where chaotic streets and sublime architecture go hand in hand. Or there are always the bright lights of Mumbai, the home of Bollywood. Hyderabad is the tech capital of India, so expect skyscrapers and world-class restaurants there.
Amritsar is a pilgrimage of another kind. The Golden Temple is a must-see for Sikhs and history buffs. Meanwhile, Goa is a different world altogether. Portuguese outposts from the 17th and 18th centuries still pepper its sandy coast.
