The emphasis of the trip changes as you head north into the foothills of the Himalayas and to Naini Tal, the old lakeside hill station of the British. Upon descent you seek wildlife in the countryside around Betalghat and explore Corbett National Park, going on jeep safaris in search of wild elephant and the elusive Bengal tiger! You conclude your journey with a trip to the Ganges to explore the holy city of Rishikesh, where you’ll stay by the river and have time to relax.

Delhi & Taj Mahal

Contrast the colour and bustle of Old Delhi with the splendour of New Delhi’s monuments, before heading to Agra to see the beautiful Taj Mahal – the world’s most extravagant expression of love.

Water Activities

Your journey culminates at Rishikesh, for two nights camping on a river beach where you’ll walk amid the striking Himalayan foothills.

Corbett National Park

Corbett NP is the destination for your tiger safari. Here you’ll look for tigers plus the area’s other prolific wildlife - monkeys, elephants and deer to name but a few. You’ll enjoy two game drives, before travelling to Haridwar to experience a traditional Aarti ceremony.

Nature Walks

A memorable journey by overnight train takes you to the old ‘hill station’ of Naini Tal where you’ll hopefully glimpse your first Himalayan views. Taking to jeeps, it’s an exciting traverse to Betalghat for nature walks and the chance to see many birds and animals.
