About this trip
This trip pairs India's classic Golden Triangle with Diwali, the Festival of Lights, so you get the big historical sights alongside the noise, colour and warmth of the country's biggest celebration.
Expect cities lit up with lanterns and lamps, markets in full swing, and a genuine sense of occasion as India marks the victory of light over darkness. It's fully guided throughout, so the logistics of moving between cities during a major national holiday are taken care of.
Eight days is enough to cover Delhi, Agra and Jaipur at a reasonable pace while still being there for the festival itself, making it a good fit for anyone who wants culture and celebration in one trip, including families and groups.
What you'll do
