From Kolkata To Mumbai Cuisine Tour - The Tastes of India [17 Days]

This is a food-first journey through northern India, built around markets, home kitchens and street stalls rather than just sightseeing. Over 17 days you travel from Kolkata to Mumbai, cooking and eating your way through the region alongside the usual landmarks.

Expect to get your hands dirty: shopping for ingredients, learning what goes into a dish, then cooking and eating it with locals. Meals range from street food to family-style dinners and afternoon tea, giving a fuller picture of how people actually eat here.

Between kitchens you'll still take in the big sights — Victoria Memorial, Old Delhi, the Taj Mahal, Jaipur's City Palace, Udaipur and the Gateway of India in Mumbai — so it's a mix of culture and cuisine rather than one or the other.
