Beijing Tour Packages from India

Beijing is the historic capital of China, a monumental city in the country’s north that has served as the seat of emperors and power for over eight centuries. It is the guardian of some of the world’s most iconic landmarks, from the mighty Great Wall snaking across the nearby mountains to the vast imperial grandeur of the Forbidden City and the sweeping expanse of Tiananmen Square. Blending ancient dynastic splendour with a dynamic modern energy, Beijing is the essential starting point for understanding China.

A Trekhops package to Beijing brings the Chinese capital to life, arranging its great landmarks, hutong lanes and culinary delights into one seamless journey, easily combined with Xi’an and Shanghai, all planned around exactly the kind of trip you want.
Reaching Beijing from India is now easy again, with direct flights recently resumed. Air China flies nonstop from Delhi to Beijing in around six hours, with additional one-stop options via Asian hubs from other Indian cities. Beijing’s vast modern airports connect smoothly to the city centre.

Beijing is best suited to history and culture lovers above all, to families seeking iconic adventures, and to couples who love grand, atmospheric cities. The sections below link its highlights to your kind of trip.

Beijing for History and Culture Lovers

Beijing is an open-air museum of Chinese civilisation, and its landmarks are the ultimate USP.

• The Great Wall: hike a spectacular, well-preserved stretch of the wall as it winds over the mountains just outside the city.
• The Forbidden City: wander the world’s largest palace complex, home to Ming and Qing emperors for centuries.
• The Temple of Heaven and Summer Palace: admire exquisite imperial temple architecture and beautiful landscaped royal gardens.
• The USP is unrivalled imperial heritage: the political and cultural heart of China for over 500 years.

Beijing for Families

Beijing turns history into a grand adventure for families. Children are awed by walking the Great Wall, exploring the immense Forbidden City, and cycling or rickshaw-riding through the maze-like hutong alleyways. A visit to see the giant pandas at Beijing Zoo and the spectacle of a Chinese acrobatics show add to the fun. The USP is larger-than-life discovery that makes ancient history unforgettable for all ages.

Beijing for Couples

For couples, Beijing blends grandeur with atmosphere. Share a sunset stroll on a quiet stretch of the Great Wall, dine on succulent Peking duck in a historic restaurant, and explore the trendy bars and courtyards hidden in the restored hutongs. The USP is epic, memory-making romance against a backdrop of world wonders.

What’s New in Beijing

Beijing has become far more accessible to Indian travellers with the recent resumption of direct flights and a simplified online visa process. The city continues to blend heritage with modernity, restoring its historic hutong neighbourhoods into vibrant districts of boutique stays, cafes and galleries, while its world-class metro and high-speed rail links make exploring effortless.

Visa for Indian Travellers

Indian passport holders need a visa for China; there is no visa-on-arrival. Encouragingly, China has introduced a simplified online application process for Indian tourists, though a visit to a visa centre for biometrics may still be required. A 240-hour visa-free transit facility is also available in Beijing for travellers continuing to a third country. Trekhops confirms the latest requirements at booking.

Nearby Escapes

Beijing is the perfect starting point for a China tour. Fast bullet trains whisk you to Xi’an and its Terracotta Army in a few hours, and on to dazzling Shanghai. The imperial resort town of Chengde, with its vast summer palace, and the coastal city of Tianjin also make rewarding nearby trips within easy reach.

Getting Around, Food and Best Time

Beijing’s vast, modern metro is cheap, efficient and English-signed, with taxis and ride apps for convenience. Vegetarians can seek out Buddhist vegetarian restaurants and note that dishes labelled vegetable may use meat stock, so confirm; Indian food is available in the city. A practical tip: apps like WhatsApp and Google are restricted, so plan your connectivity ahead. Spring and autumn offer the most comfortable weather for sightseeing.
