Essence of North India tour with relax on the beach in Goa, flights included

New Delhi → Delhi 22 days Up to 30

About this trip

This 22-day trip covers a lot of ground: the big cities and historic sites of north India, the forts and lakes of Rajasthan, and a proper stretch of beach time in Goa to unwind at the end.

You'll travel by private air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking driver, moving between Delhi, Rajasthan and Mumbai before flying down to Goa. Expect UNESCO monuments, forts, temples and a night sleeping out in the Thar Desert, balanced against slower days by the sea.

It's fully guided throughout, with knowledgeable guides on the ground and domestic flights and transfers already sorted, so the logistics are handled and you can focus on what you're seeing.

What you'll do

  • See the Taj Mahal and explore Delhi's forts and monuments
  • Take a rickshaw ride through the old lanes of Old Delhi
  • Camel trek into the Thar Desert and spend a night at a desert camp near Jaisalmer
  • Visit the rat temple in Bikaner and the forts and palaces of Rajasthan
  • Boat ride on Lake Pichola in Udaipur and along the Ganges
  • Wind down on the beaches of Goa, staying in beach huts
Good to know
  • A long, full itinerary — 22 days moving through several cities and states before the Goa leg
  • Mix of three and four-star hotels, with private bathrooms and air conditioning throughout
  • Domestic flights, transfers and a private driver are included, so travel days are mostly organised for you
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you value knowledgeable guides and smooth logistics. Think twice if you need detailed info about Goa beach time or specific daily itineraries.

  • Guides Prakash and Mahesh consistently praised for knowledge, attentiveness, flexibility and solving problems without fuss.
  • Drivers reliable and punctual throughout; accommodation clean and as described; food quality consistent across the tour.
  • Reviews focus heavily on North India sites but say almost nothing specific about the Goa beach portion or its duration.
  • Tour operator responsive to custom requests; one group got participation arranged in a major Indian music festival.
