Essential India & Maldives Sailing

Delhi → Male 14 days Up to 18

About this trip

Two very different trips in one: the noise and history of northern India followed by the quiet of a Maldives sail. You get the cities and forts of the Golden Triangle first, then swap it all for open water and white sand.

Delhi, Agra and Jaipur cover the classic India route, with markets, monuments and a look at rural Rajasthan along the way. Then you board a traditional dhoni to sail between lagoons and beaches, a proper change of pace after the cities.

It suits you if you want both sides of a big trip — culture and chaos, then rest and turquoise water — without having to plan the join yourself.

What you'll do

  • Explore Delhi's markets and old city streets
  • See the Taj Mahal in Agra
  • Get a sense of rural Rajasthani life around Jaipur
  • Sail traditional lagoons and beaches by dhoni in the Maldives
Good to know
  • Two distinct halves — expect a shift from city sightseeing to slow-paced sailing
  • Moderate pace throughout, guided the whole way
