Details

India, like nowhere else on earth. If you’re looking for a trip full of adventure, culture, delicious food and unbelievable architecture, look no further than this magical destination. We’ve carefully selected a route through Delhi & Rajasthan that takes in all the most incredible sights through Northern India.

Watch the sunrise over the Taj Mahal, taste your way around the food markets of Jodhpur and Old Delhi, get lost in the famous blue city, marvel at the iconic Mehrangarh Fort, learn about the importance of camels in Bikaner, stay overnight in the desert & join us for a blessing by a Brahmin priest in the desert city of Pushkar where we ride camels in the dunes. You’ll remember this trip for life.


Itinerary

Day 1 : Arrive in India!
Welcome to India, a country that requires little introduction. Unrivalled cultures awash throughout the huge sub-continent, giving rise to phenomenal food, warm people, incredible diversity and immersive architecture influenced by religion, pride, patriotism and history. Walking around the streets of India can feel like a trip through time, watching Brahmins wash in the rivers of the Ganges one morning and then glimpsing sun rays bounce off the glistening white marble walls of the Taj Mahal the next. This is India. Arrive any time throughout the day and meet your group leader in your hotel in the heart of New Delhi. Tonight we’ll venture out as a group for our welcome dinner and our first chance to sample that famous Indian Cuisine.
