Rajasthan & Varanasi — Ancient Temples & the Taj Mahal

Start & end in Delhi 20 days Up to 18

About this trip

Twenty days across northern India, moving from Delhi through the cities of Rajasthan and on to Varanasi, with the Taj Mahal along the way. It's a group trip with a CEO handling the logistics, so your energy goes into the sights rather than the hassle of getting between them.

Expect a proper mix of history and atmosphere — forts, temples, painted city streets, and a night in the desert on camelback, sleep optional.

What you'll do

  • See Delhi's historic monuments
  • Explore the colourful walled cities of Rajasthan
  • Visit Jaisalmer's mud-brick fortress
  • Overnight camel safari into the Thar desert
  • See the Taj Mahal
  • Take in the temples and ghats of Varanasi
Good to know
  • Rated easy — a culture and sightseeing trip rather than a physically demanding one
  • Fully guided throughout, with a CEO handling logistics along the way
  • Camel safari night involves rough sleep, if any
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you want genuine cultural immersion with standout guides and don't mind a relentless pace. Think twice if you need downtime or prefer slower travel.

  • Guides (Adhiraj, Manu, Raj) genuinely invested; locals-turned-leaders elevate the entire experience considerably.
  • Itinerary packs Northern India comprehensively—Taj Mahal, temples, off-beat restaurants—with strong value for money.
  • 20-day pace exhausts; you're moving fast between cities, including a tough sleeper train stretch.
  • Group chemistry matters here; travellers report making lasting friendships, but cohesion depends on who joins.
