About this trip
Ten days across India's classic circuit, taking in the Golden Triangle of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur before pushing further to the temples of Khajuraho and the ghats of Varanasi.
It's a mix of history, spirituality and everyday street life — Mughal forts and the Taj Mahal alongside the crush of Old Delhi's markets and the ritual of evening prayers on the Ganges.
Guided sightseeing runs through each stop, with airport and station transfers handled for you throughout.
What you'll do
- Explore Chandni Chowk's markets by rickshaw in Old Delhi
- See the Taj Mahal in Agra, arriving by battery van
- Ride an elephant or jeep up to Amer Fort in Jaipur
- Watch the evening Aarti ceremony on the banks of the Ganges
- Take a boat ride on the Ganges in Varanasi
- Visit the carved temples of Khajuraho and the ruins of Orchha
- Guided touring covers Delhi, Jaipur, Agra, Orchha and Khajuraho
- Suits those wanting a structured overview of India's history and culture rather than an off-the-beaten-track trip
- Airport and rail transfers are arranged, easing the logistics of multiple stops
Worth it if you want seamless logistics and knowledgeable guides across India's big sights. Think twice if you need entrance fees included upfront or prefer private sleeper cabins on trains.
- Guides in Agra, Jaipur and Orchha were excellent, knowledgeable and easy to understand throughout.
- Drivers exceptional at logistics: prompt pickups daily, helpful with requests, seamless hand-offs between destinations.
- Entrance fees not included upfront; overnight train required sharing sleeping room with strangers, unclear stops.
- Hotel quality variable: some excellent, others had cleanliness issues; budget category noticeably less comfortable.
