Taj Temples & Tigers India Tour

Ten days across northern India taking in the capital, the Taj Mahal, a tiger reserve and one of the world's oldest cities. It's a classic first-timer's route through Delhi, Agra, Ranthambore, Jaipur and Varanasi, mixing big-name monuments with a proper safari and some genuinely ancient streets.

Expect a good amount of ground covered — this is a trip for people who want to see a lot of India in a short stretch, not linger in one place.

Partially guided, with room to tailor parts of the itinerary, so it suits families and small groups happy to move at a reasonably brisk pace.
