Best of India

Fourteen days across six of India's biggest draws — Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Varanasi, Mumbai and Goa. It's a wide sweep of the country, from Mughal monuments to sacred rivers to beach towns, with private, partially guided arrangements so you're not stuck to a rigid group schedule.

You start in Delhi, taking in its mix of old and new, then move to Agra for the Taj Mahal and on to Jaipur, India's first planned city. From there it's Varanasi for the Ganges and its rituals, Mumbai for its street life and landmarks, and finally Goa to slow down on the coast.

This suits families or small private parties wanting a proper introduction to India — history, faith, cities and beach all in one trip, at an easy pace with guidance where it's useful.
