India Domestic Tourism Statistics 2026: How, Where and Why Indians Travel at Home
India’s states reported more than four billion domestic tourist visits in 2025. The national statistics office, asking households directly, found that only about a third of them took an overnight trip at all. Both numbers are official, both are right, and they describe different things. This report sets out what the data says about Indians travelling at home in 2026 — how many trips, to which states, by what means, for what reasons, at what cost and in which months — and says which number answers which question.
Key findings
- States reported 428.55 crore domestic tourist visits in 2025, up 45.51 per cent on 2024, a figure that includes the Maha Kumbh[1]
- Uttar Pradesh took 36.3 per cent of all domestic visits; the top five states took 67.40 per cent[1]
- The NSO’s household survey finds 36.1 per cent of households made an overnight trip, and 47.7 per cent of the trips surveyed over a year were pilgrimages[2]
- An overnight holiday trip costs a household ₹11,723 on average; transport is the largest item, at ₹3,685[2]
- Air is 2.7 per cent of urban visitor-trips for these purposes; the train is 35.1 per cent[2]
- Domestic visitors spent US$203 billion in 2025, 86 per cent of all tourism spending in India, on WTTC’s estimate[4]
- 60 per cent of Indian travellers planned to holiday at home in summer 2026, against a global average of 42 per cent[22]
- May and October are the peak months: May starts 16.6 per cent of holiday trips[2]

1. How big is domestic tourism? Two counts, one gap
The headline figure is the Ministry of Tourism’s count of domestic tourist visits, compiled from state tourism departments and based largely on returns from hotels and other accommodation. For 2025 it stands at 4,28,55,30,210 visits — 428.55 crore, or about 4.29 billion.[1] The ministry’s highlights page prints 428.7 crore against 294.5 crore in 2024; its detailed tables give 428.55 crore and growth of 45.51 per cent, which this report uses.[1]
The second count comes from the National Statistics Office, which surveyed 2,46,113 households between July 2025 and June 2026.[3] It found that 36.1 per cent of households made at least one overnight trip — 35.2 per cent in rural India and 37.7 per cent in urban India.[2] Households made 33.8 overnight trips per 100 over a year for holiday, pilgrimage, health and shopping purposes.[2] Applied to the survey’s estimated 29.65 crore households, that is roughly 10 crore overnight trips a year — derived, this report’s arithmetic — or about 20 crore visitor-trips once each trip’s 2.03 travellers are counted.[2][3]
The gap between 428.55 crore and about 20 crore is not an error. The ministry series counts visits recorded by each state, generally from accommodation returns and in 2025 including the Kumbh crowds, rather than people or round trips, so one journey through several places can appear more than once. The survey counts round trips from home, and only for the purposes it asks about over each recall period. Industry estimates sit higher still: HVS ANAROCK put 2025 domestic visits at about 4,548 million.[7] Use the ministry series for where visitors go, and the household survey for how many Indians actually travel, why, and what they spend.
2. A decade of growth, and the Kumbh year
Domestic visits rose from 128.28 crore in 2014 to 428.55 crore in 2025, an increase of about 234 per cent.[1] The ministry puts compound growth at 12.11 per cent a year across 2011-2025.[1] The pandemic cut 2020 to 61.02 crore, a fall of 73.72 per cent, and the recovery from 67.76 crore in 2021 has been steep.[1]
Domestic tourist visits reported by states, 2014-2025 (crore). 2025 includes the Maha Kumbh.[1]
| Year | Visits |
|---|---|
| 2014 | 128.28 |
| 2015 | 143.20 |
| 2016 | 161.54 |
| 2017 | 165.75 |
| 2018 | 185.38 |
| 2019 | 232.20 |
| 2020 | 61.02 |
| 2021 | 67.76 |
| 2022 | 173.10 |
| 2023 | 250.88 |
| 2024 (revised) | 294.53 |
| 2025 | 428.55 |
2025 was not an ordinary year. The ministry’s total includes the Maha Kumbh at Prayagraj, which drew over 66.30 crore devotees across 45 days.[18] Uttar Pradesh’s count rose 140.79 per cent, from 64.68 crore to 155.74 crore.[1] Set against each other, the Kumbh alone equals about 43 per cent of the state’s visits (derived) — a rough guide only, since the two are counted differently.[18][1] Even so, 2025 domestic visits were about 1.85 times the 2019 level of 232.2 crore (derived), and domestic visitors made up 99.4 per cent of all tourist visits to states, against 2.53 crore foreign visits (derived).[1]
3. Where Indians travel: the state rankings
Uttar Pradesh led with 155.74 crore visits and 36.3 per cent of the national total. Tamil Nadu (36.30 crore), Andhra Pradesh (35.39 crore), Karnataka (32.05 crore) and West Bengal (29.43 crore) followed, and the five together took 67.40 per cent.[1] Maharashtra’s 27.56 crore and Delhi’s 2025 figures are ministry estimates, made by applying the all-India growth rate to their 2024 data.[1]
Top ten states by domestic tourist visits, 2025 (crore). Maharashtra’s 2025 figure is a ministry estimate.[1]
| State | Visits | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Uttar Pradesh | 1,55,74,23,503 | 36.34% |
| Tamil Nadu | 36,28,83,287 | 8.47% |
| Andhra Pradesh | 35,38,99,146 | 8.26% |
| Karnataka | 32,05,36,244 | 7.48% |
| West Bengal | 29,43,18,520 | 6.87% |
| Maharashtra (estimated) | 27,55,54,929 | 6.43% |
| Rajasthan | 25,25,03,432 | 5.89% |
| Gujarat | 22,04,26,104 | 5.14% |
| Madhya Pradesh | 13,95,96,049 | 3.26% |
| Telangana | 8,48,84,316 | 1.98% |
The household survey ranks destinations by visitor-trips rather than recorded visits, and the order holds at the top: Uttar Pradesh accounted for 15.7 per cent of overnight visitor-trips, Tamil Nadu 13.4 per cent and Rajasthan 8.0 per cent.[3] Rajasthan’s own count rose 9.74 per cent to 25.25 crore visits.[1]
The classic holiday states are small by comparison. Kerala recorded 2.51 crore domestic visits, up 12.67 per cent, and Goa 1.03 crore, up 3.75 per cent.[1] Two Himalayan destinations fell: Himachal Pradesh by 20.12 per cent to 1.44 crore and Jammu & Kashmir by 22.96 per cent to 1.77 crore.[1] The ministry’s tables do not give reasons.
4. Why they travel: faith, health and family
Holidays are a minority of Indian domestic travel. Of overnight trips over the 365-day recall, 47.7 per cent were for pilgrimage, 29.6 per cent for health and medical care, 22.1 per cent for holidays and 0.6 per cent for shopping.[2] Around 48 in every 100 such trips were pilgrimages and 30 were for health.[3]
Overnight trips by leading purpose, trips completed in the last 365 days, per cent. Rural households travel for health; urban households for holidays.[2]
| Purpose | Rural | Urban | All |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pilgrimage & religious | 48.4 | 46.6 | 47.7 |
| Health & medical | 38.4 | 16.5 | 29.6 |
| Holidaying, leisure & recreation | 12.5 | 36.4 | 22.1 |
| Shopping | 0.7 | 0.5 | 0.6 |
The split between rural and urban India is the sharpest finding in the survey. For rural households, health and medical trips were 38.4 per cent of overnight trips and holidays only 12.5 per cent; for urban households, holidays were the second purpose after pilgrimage, at 36.4 per cent.[2] Visiting family dominates shorter trips: of every 100 overnight trips in the last 30 days, 89 were social visits and 5 were for business.[2]
5. The pilgrimage economy
Pilgrimage is the largest purpose by trip count. Households made 16.1 pilgrimage trips per 100 over the year, against 7.5 holiday trips and 10.0 health trips.[2] Scaled to all households, that is about 4.8 crore pilgrimage trips and 2.2 crore holiday trips a year (derived, this report’s arithmetic).[2]
Booking-platform data shows how these trips are bought. MakeMyTrip reports accommodation bookings across 56 pilgrimage destinations rose 19 per cent in 2024-25, with 34 destinations growing at double digits.[21] Pilgrim stays are short and late: 53 per cent are single-night stays and 31 per cent two nights, and 63 per cent of bookings are made within six days of travel.[21] Groups account for 47 per cent of pilgrimage bookings, against 38.9 per cent at leisure destinations.[21] Of the platform’s pilgrimage holiday packages, 52 per cent were purely for pilgrimage destinations and 48 per cent combined the shrine with leisure stops.[21] These are one company’s figures, not a market measure.
Single shrines move with events. Vaishno Devi received 69.79 lakh pilgrims in 2025, around 24 per cent fewer than in 2024, when it had 94.84 lakh; its record remains over 1.04 crore in 2012.[19] By June 24 this year it had already passed 50.92 lakh.[19] Heritage draws far smaller numbers than faith: the Taj Mahal, the most visited ticketed monument, had 53.5 lakh domestic visitors in FY 2025-26, and all ticketed ASI monuments together had 5,37,60,942 domestic visitors, down 0.9 per cent.[1]
6. How they travel: bus, train and the small share that flies
Domestic tourism in India runs on the road and the railway. For overnight visitor-trips with a holiday, pilgrimage, health or shopping purpose, rural travellers went mainly by bus (32.0 per cent), hired transport (30.4 per cent) and train (20.5 per cent); air was 0.3 per cent.[2] Urban travellers chose the train first, at 35.1 per cent, then the bus at 25.1 per cent and their own vehicle at 21.2 per cent; air was 2.7 per cent.[2] Even on urban holiday trips, air was the main mode for 5.2 per cent of visitor-trips and the train for 36.0 per cent.[2]
Major mode of travel, overnight visitor-trips with a holiday, pilgrimage, health or shopping purpose, per cent.[2]
| Mode | Rural | Urban |
|---|---|---|
| Bus | 32.0 | 25.1 |
| Train | 20.5 | 35.1 |
| Air | 0.3 | 2.7 |
| Own transport | 15.2 | 21.2 |
| Rental / hired transport | 30.4 | 15.1 |
The operator data puts scale on those shares. Domestic airlines carried 1,669.46 lakh passengers in 2025 — 16.69 crore — up 3.48 per cent from 1,613.31 lakh.[10] The busiest single day was November 23, 2025, with 5,38,249 passengers.[12] The railways carried 741 crore passengers in 2025-26, up 3.54 per cent from 716 crore, though that is a count of all rail passenger journeys, not of tourists.[13] Intercity buses carried 147.19 million passengers between October 2025 and March 2026, up 24 per cent, on redBus’s market estimate.[16] redBus puts the average seat price at ₹966 and says 62 per cent of journeys on its platform start in smaller cities and towns.[16]
7. Where they stay and how they book
Most Indian domestic travel never touches a hotel. For overnight trips over the 365-day recall, urban visitor-trips were spent mainly in hotels and guesthouses (35.9 per cent) or with friends and relatives (22.9 per cent).[2] Rural visitor-trips were spread across other non-commercial stays such as second homes and free religious lodging (27.7 per cent), other commercial stays (22.6 per cent), dharamshalas (18.0 per cent) and hotels (16.7 per cent).[2] On urban holiday trips the hotel share rises to 46.3 per cent, with 44.3 per cent still staying with friends or family.[2] For trips over the 30-day recall, which are mostly social visits, around 93 per cent of rural and 90 per cent of urban visitor-trips were spent with friends and relatives.[2]
Booking is mostly direct and offline. Of overnight trips in the 365-day recall, 44.6 per cent had services booked directly without the internet and 17.0 per cent directly online — 27.8 per cent among urban households — while 5.6 per cent used a tour operator online.[2] Package tours are rare: 71 per 1,000 holiday visitor-trips, or about 7 per cent.[2]
The hotels that do take this demand are running full and charging more. National occupancy was 63 to 65 per cent in 2024, with average room rates of ₹7,800-8,000.[8] In 2025 occupancy held at 63% to 65% while average rates rose to ₹8,500-8,700 and revenue per available room reached ₹5,400-5,600.[7]
8. What a trip costs, and what India spends
The household survey is the only official source for spend per trip. An overnight holiday trip cost ₹11,723 on average in 2025-26, a pilgrimage ₹7,694, a health trip ₹32,167 and a shopping trip ₹18,981.[2] Holidays cost rural households ₹8,890 and urban households ₹13,190; pilgrimages ₹6,269 and ₹9,920.[2] On shorter-recall trips, business averaged ₹5,949 and social visits ₹2,543.[2]
Average household spend per overnight trip by leading purpose, rural and urban combined (₹). Business and social trips are from the 30-day recall, the rest from the 365-day recall.[2]
| Purpose | ₹ per trip |
|---|---|
| Health & medical | 32,167 |
| Shopping | 18,981 |
| Holidaying, leisure & recreation | 11,723 |
| Pilgrimage & religious | 7,694 |
| Business | 5,949 |
| Education & training | 3,953 |
| Social | 2,543 |
Inside a holiday trip, transport is the largest item at ₹3,685, followed by shopping at ₹2,259, food at ₹1,875, accommodation at ₹1,759 and package components at ₹1,493.[2] Health trips are expensive because of the medical bill itself — ₹23,361 of the ₹32,167.[2]
For the total, the only current estimate is the World Travel & Tourism Council’s. It puts domestic visitor spending at $203 billion in 2025, 86 per cent of all tourism spending in India, growing by more than 10 per cent a year.[4] In rupees that is ₹17.7 trillion, nearly 37 per cent above 2019, against ₹2.9 trillion from international visitors; WTTC forecasts ₹19 trillion for 2026, nearly 47 per cent above pre-pandemic levels.[5] Its previous edition put 2024 domestic spending at ₹15.5 trillion, 22 per cent above 2019.[6] The two editions are modelled and revised, so the change between them is not a clean growth rate. The ministry’s own satellite account, which still applies multipliers from its 2015-16 base, puts total direct and indirect tourism employment at 99.96 million in 2024-25, 16.22 per cent of all jobs, for domestic and international tourism together.[1]
9. When they travel, and for how long
Holiday travel peaks twice. May was the starting month for 16.6 per cent of overnight holiday trips and October for 12.1 per cent.[2] Rural households show a second bump in June, at 10.8 per cent.[2] The survey’s published report does not print the other months.
The railways plan around both peaks. For Puja, Diwali and Chhath they were operating more than 12,000 special trains over the 61 days of October and November 2025, against 7,724 the previous year, and scheduled 1,500 specials in the five days before Chhath alone.[14] That is about 1.55 times the previous year’s festive specials (derived).[14] For summer 2026 they approved 908 special trains running 18,262 trips between 15 April and 15 July.[15]
Trips are short. 40.6 per cent of overnight visitor-trips lasted two or three nights and 23.6 per cent a single night; roughly 80 per cent of visitors were away five nights or fewer.[2]
10. Who travels
Domestic travel is a household activity. The average overnight trip carried 2.03 travellers.[3] Tourist households are travelling more often than a decade ago: 127 overnight trips per 100 rural tourist households against 118 in 2014-15, and 132 per 100 urban tourist households against 121.[3] Same-day trips have spread too: 65.1 per cent of rural households made one in the last 30 days, up from 57.1 per cent, and 46.2 per cent of urban households, up from 40.6 per cent.[3]
Purpose changes with age. In the 365-day recall, holidays were 34.7 per cent of visitor-trips for children aged 0-14 and 33.5 per cent for those aged 15-24, falling to 17.8 per cent for ages 25-59 and 8.8 per cent for those 60 and over.[2] For the over-60s, health and medical care was 32.3 per cent of visitor-trips.[2]
The survey’s published report does not split trips by sex. Platform data points one way: redBus says women’s intercity bus travel grew 136 per cent between 2019 and 2025, against 72 per cent for all passengers.[17] Women were 33 per cent of its intercity travellers in 2025, up from 23 per cent in 2019.[17] Our report on Indian women’s travel covers the gender data in detail.
11. 2026: the pivot home
The West Asia conflict that cut outbound departures in spring 2026 (see our outbound travel report) shows up first in intent. An Ipsos survey of 11,010 people in 10 markets for Allianz Partners found that India was the top market for domestic holiday intent.[22] 60 per cent of Indian travellers planned to holiday within the country in summer 2026, against a global average of 42 per cent.[22] 87 per cent planned a summer holiday, well above the global 74 per cent, though 72 per cent said higher costs were making them cut back.[22]
Volume data is more mixed. Domestic airlines carried 1,105.30 lakh passengers in January-August 2026 against 1,107.26 lakh a year earlier, a change of −0.18 per cent, and August alone was down 6.34 per cent.[11] National hotel occupancy was 63-65 per cent in May 2026, with average rates of ₹7,900-8,100.[9] The railways’ 908 summer specials are the clearest sign of capacity being added for travel at home.[15]
12. What travellers buy and pack
No official series measures what Indians spend on clothes for a trip. The nearest measure is the survey’s “shopping” component. On an overnight holiday trip it averages ₹2,259, second only to transport.[2] It is 24.6 per cent of rural households’ non-package holiday spend and 21.2 per cent of urban households’.[2] Shopping is the leading purpose of 26.1 per cent of same-day trips, and takes 51 per cent of rural and 41 per cent of urban same-day trip spending.[2] The survey does not say what is bought.
Where guidance on clothing exists, it comes from the destinations. The Vaishno Devi shrine board tells pilgrims to carry heavy woollens in winter and light woollens for the rest of the year, because the shrine stays cool at night even when the base camp is hot; at peak season pilgrims often wait 12-20 hours for darshan.[20] For the warm side of the map — Goa, Kerala and the beach states — our resort wear market report looks at demand for travel clothing, from kaftans to co-ord sets and the vacation edit.
13. Where this data is weakest
Visits are not trips, and neither is a person. The ministry’s 428.55 crore counts visits recorded by states, largely from accommodation returns and event counts; one traveller can appear several times. The NSO counts household round trips. Neither counts people.[1][2]
Some 2025 state figures are estimates. Delhi and Maharashtra did not report, and the ministry applied the national growth rate to their 2024 figures. Uttar Pradesh’s total includes the Maha Kumbh.[1]
The survey uses two recall periods. Holiday, pilgrimage, health and shopping trips are recalled over 365 days; business, social and education trips over 30 days. Shares within each period cannot be added across them, and the published report omits several detailed tables, including month-by-month starts and trips by sex.[2]
Spending totals are models. WTTC’s domestic spending figure is an industry model revised between editions; India’s satellite account still applies multipliers from its 2015-16 base.[4][1]
Platform data is one company’s view. MakeMyTrip, redBus and survey-panel figures describe their own customers and samples, and are labelled as company data throughout.[21][16][22]
14. Frequently Asked Questions
How many domestic tourists does India have?
The Ministry of Tourism counted 428.55 crore domestic tourist visits in 2025 (4.29 billion), up 45.51 per cent on 2024, on figures supplied by state tourism departments and including visits to the Maha Kumbh. These are visits, not people: one traveller who stops in three places can be counted three times. The NSO’s household survey measures something narrower — round trips by households — and implies roughly 10 crore overnight trips a year for holiday, pilgrimage, health and shopping purposes (this report’s arithmetic on the survey).
Which state has the most domestic tourists in India?
Uttar Pradesh, by a wide margin: 155.74 crore domestic tourist visits in 2025, 36.3 per cent of the national total, boosted by the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj. Tamil Nadu (36.30 crore), Andhra Pradesh (35.39 crore), Karnataka (32.05 crore) and West Bengal (29.43 crore) complete the top five, which together took 67.40 per cent. On the NSO survey, Uttar Pradesh is also first, with 15.7 per cent of overnight visitor-trips.
Why do Indians travel within India?
Mostly for faith, family and health, not holidays. Of overnight trips for the purposes surveyed over a year, 47.7 per cent were pilgrimages, 29.6 per cent health and medical trips and 22.1 per cent holidays. Of shorter-recall trips over the last 30 days, 89 in 100 were social visits to friends and relatives.
How much does a domestic trip cost in India?
The NSO puts average spend per overnight holiday trip at ₹11,723 per household trip in 2025-26: ₹8,890 for rural households and ₹13,190 for urban ones. Pilgrimages average ₹7,694, health trips ₹32,167 and business trips ₹5,949. Transport is the largest item on a holiday trip, at ₹3,685.
How much do Indians spend on domestic tourism in total?
The World Travel & Tourism Council puts domestic visitor spending at US$203 billion in 2025 — reported as ₹17.7 trillion — or 86 per cent of all tourism spending in India, and forecasts about ₹19 trillion for 2026. That is a modelled industry estimate; India’s own Tourism Satellite Account still applies multipliers from its 2015-16 base.
What percentage of Indian households travel?
36.1 per cent of households reported at least one overnight trip in the NSO’s 2025-26 survey (35.2 per cent rural, 37.7 per cent urban). Same-day trips are more common: 58.2 per cent of households made at least one in the last 30 days.
How do Indians travel within the country — train, bus or air?
By road and rail. For overnight trips with a holiday, pilgrimage, health or shopping purpose, urban travellers took the train for 35.1 per cent of visitor-trips and the bus for 25.1 per cent; rural travellers took the bus for 32.0 per cent and hired transport for 30.4 per cent. Air was 2.7 per cent of urban and 0.3 per cent of rural visitor-trips, even though domestic airlines carried 1,669.46 lakh passengers in 2025.
Where do Indian domestic tourists stay?
Urban travellers on overnight trips most often stay in hotels and guesthouses (35.9 per cent of visitor-trips) or with friends and relatives (22.9 per cent). For trips over the 30-day recall, mostly social visits, around nine in ten visitor-trips were spent with friends and relatives. Package tours are rare: 71 in every 1,000 holiday visitor-trips.
When is peak domestic travel season in India?
For holidays, May and October. May was the starting month of 16.6 per cent of holiday trips and October 12.1 per cent. The railways add capacity for both: 18,262 summer special trips for April-July 2026 and more than 12,000 festive special trains for October-November 2025.
How long are domestic trips in India?
Short. 40.6 per cent of overnight visitor-trips lasted two or three nights, 23.6 per cent a single night, and roughly 80 per cent five nights or fewer. MakeMyTrip’s pilgrimage data shows 53 per cent of pilgrim hotel stays are a single night.
Did domestic travel rise in 2026 because of the West Asia conflict?
Intent did. An Ipsos survey for Allianz Partners found 60 per cent of Indian travellers planned to holiday within India in summer 2026, against a global average of 42 per cent. Hard volume data is mixed: domestic air passengers were flat in January-August 2026 (−0.18 per cent), while the railways scheduled 908 summer special trains.
How big is pilgrimage tourism in India?
It is the largest single reason for overnight household trips — 47.7 per cent of the trips surveyed over a year, about 4.8 crore trips (derived). Single events dwarf most destinations: the Maha Kumbh drew over 66.30 crore devotees across 45 days in 2025.
