About this trip
This trip covers the classic Delhi-Agra-Jaipur circuit, then pushes on to Varanasi, one of the oldest living cities in the world, where the mood shifts from royal grandeur to something rawer and more spiritual.
You'll take in forts, palaces and the Taj Mahal at sunrise, then swap architecture for atmosphere on the ghats of the Ganges, watching rituals that have played out at dawn and dusk for centuries.
It's a fully guided group tour, well suited to a first visit to India — you get the big historical sights and a genuine, unfiltered dose of everyday and spiritual life.
