About this trip
This 12-day guided tour takes you from New Delhi through Rajasthan and on to Varanasi, covering nine destinations across northern India. It's a fully escorted trip, so someone else handles the logistics while you focus on the places.
Expect a mix of Rajasthan's cities and the pilgrimage city of Varanasi, with hotel accommodation, meals, transport and an expert guide included throughout. The pace suggests a steady, structured journey rather than a lot of free time to improvise.
