About this trip
This 9-day tour takes you through India's Golden Triangle and on to Varanasi, pairing the classic Delhi-Agra-Jaipur route with the older, stranger pull of the Ganges.
It's a fully guided, private tour, so you get a dedicated guide and driver throughout, without joining up with a wider group. Expect palaces, forts and the Taj Mahal alongside the ghats and ritual life of Varanasi.
Accommodation, meals, transport and guiding are all included, so the practical side of the trip is largely taken care of once you land in New Delhi.
