About this trip
A 12-day route through north India that pairs the classic Golden Triangle with two cities that add a different pace and depth: Rishikesh on the Ganges and Varanasi, one of India's oldest living cities.
You move between Delhi, Agra and Jaipur for the historical and architectural side of the trip, then head to Rishikesh for a quieter, riverside chapter and on to Varanasi for its ghats and temple life. A train journey is part of the route, a proper way to see the country between stops.
This is a private, family-friendly tour, so the pace and group are set around you rather than a fixed departure of strangers.
What you'll do
- See the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort
- Explore Delhi's old and new city sights
- Visit Jaipur's palaces and forts in the Pink City
- Spend time by the Ganges in Rishikesh
- Witness the ghats and temples of Varanasi
- Travel a stretch of the route by Indian train
- Private tour, so timings and pace can flex to suit your group
- Covers five cities in 12 days, so expect a fair amount of travel between stops
- Suited to families and those wanting a cultural and historical focus rather than a party trip
