Agra & Taj Mahal
Prepare to be amazed by the sights, sounds, hustle and bustle of Old Delhi’s narrow streets and hectic bazaars. Travelling by train to Agra you set out to discover what has been described as the world’s most beautiful building – the Taj Mahal. Sunrise here really is unforgettable – as the early morning mists clear, the delicately carved marble walls change from rose pink to dazzling white.
Wildlife Safari & Pink City
The pace slows as you journey to the deserted city of Fatehpur Sikri. Then you’ll spend two exciting nights in Ranthambore National Park. On game drives you’ll go in search of crocodile, deer, leopard – and tiger! In Jaipur, originally painted pink by a maharaja to welcome Prince Albert, you’ll see the magnificent hilltop Amber Fort. Lastly you journey to rural Shekhawati where you’ll meet welcoming local people and learn about their traditional ways of life.
Responsible Travel
You have the opportunity to visit one of the local schools supported by the donation we make for every person travelling to India, which has funded uniforms and building work.
