India
Description
LAND OF KINGS -
No country makes a first impression quite as India does. Every sense is immediately awakened as you are confronted with sounds, colours, smells and sights you couldn’t imagine. Teeming markets, impressive palaces and intricate temples are all waiting to be explored. The key to travelling here is to sit back, relax and take it all as it comes. It’s big, raw and chaotic but at the same time incredibly rewarding. It’s impossible to visit India and leave unchanged.

Overview
We’ve designed this tour to give you the unmissable highlights of India in just under two weeks. You’ll walk the streets of Delhi (which is an experience in its own right) before heading to one of the world’s greatest wonders, the Taj Mahal. From there we travel to the royal city of Jaipur where the beautiful pink palace and mighty Amber Fort await. We stop over in the City of Lakes - Udaipur - before our final destination, the spiritual city of Varanasi to watch the sunrise over the Ganges. There is no place like India.
