About this trip
This is a private car tour with a driver, covering India's Golden Triangle — Delhi, Agra and Jaipur — before flying on to Varanasi. It's built around seeing the country's best-known UNESCO sites at an easy pace, with guides on hand at the major monuments to fill in the history.
You'll see the Taj Mahal, along with the forts, palaces and temples of Jaipur and Delhi, then move on to Varanasi, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and the spiritual heart of Hinduism. Here the pace shifts to something quieter and more reflective, with boat rides on the Ganges and evenings watching the aarti ceremony on the ghats.
It suits travellers who want the classic India sights explained properly, without having to organise transport or logistics themselves.
