This bite-sized trip is an ideal first step on your India journey, allowing you to settle gently into this colourful and chaotic country. Touching down amidst the commotion of Delhi can be something of a culture shock, so this trip is designed to give you a softer landing, moving quickly onto Jaipur.
India’s Golden Triangle is the stuff of legend, with the ethereal Taj Mahal at its pinnacle. This trip will take you from the Pink City of Jaipur to Agra, where you’ll stay with a local family and watch dawn break over the Taj Mahal.
Spot the famous Bengal tiger on a jeep safari through the Bandhavgarh National Park. Despite being a relatively small park, it has the highest density of tigers in India. This offers you one of the best chances of seeing this majestic animal in the wild.
Listen to pilgrims singing softly as you drift along the Ganges at sunrise. Explore Varanasi, one of the oldest and holiest cities in India, a spiritual city of constant chaos, colour and wandering cows.
Take the train to sleepy mystical villages and eyebrow-raising erotic temples. Amble along riverbanks dotted with ancient ruins, explore palaces and soak up the spiritual atmosphere.
Take a spiritual overland trip from the holy city Varanasi to the birthplace of Buddha in Nepal. Pass small villages and stupas before crossing into peaceful Nepal.
