About this trip
Twelve days across northern India and Nepal, taking in Mughal monuments, a tiger reserve and the Kathmandu Valley in one loop. It's a sightseeing-heavy trip built around a handful of genuinely big-ticket experiences rather than constant movement.
You'll see the Taj Mahal at sunrise, explore the forts of Agra and Jaipur, and spend time in Ranthambore National Park hoping for a glimpse of a Bengal tiger or leopard. A rickshaw ride through a local bazaar, a cooking demonstration and a home-hosted dinner with an Indian noble family add some grounded, everyday contact alongside the monuments.
The Nepal stretch is more unhurried, with two easy days of sightseeing in Kathmandu and Patan rather than another packed itinerary.
What you'll do
- Watch sunrise at the Taj Mahal and visit Agra Fort
- Explore Jaipur's Amber Fort and the Pink City
- Three game drives in Ranthambore National Park tracking tigers and leopards
- Ride a rickshaw through a local bazaar and join an Indian cooking demonstration
- Share a home-hosted dinner with an Indian noble family
- See Kathmandu's Hanuman Dhoka, the Temple of Kumari and the Bouddhanath stupa
- Easy-paced sightseeing overall, with a slower two days built in for Nepal
- Partially guided, so there's some room to explore independently between the organised visits
- Wildlife sightings on the Ranthambore game drives are never guaranteed
Worth it if you want seamless logistics, wildlife sightings and cultural immersion with a solid local team. Think twice if you need flexibility—the itinerary appears fixed.
- Driver Deep Chand and guides like Manju and Raj consistently mentioned by name; staff genuinely engaged and knowledgeable.
