It is the first time the royal couple has visited both countries.
"In India, the duke and duchess will see a variety of aspects of contemporary Indian life, focusing on young people, sport, entrepreneurship, Indian efforts to relieve urban poverty, the creative arts, and rural life," a statement from Kensington Palace said, using the couple's formal titles.

The India visit was confirmed during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Britain last year.
