Northern India: Riverside Safaris, Ancient Fortresses & The Taj Mahal
Explore, hike, and cycle through India on this 15-day odyssey where every moment will feel like a dance between tradition and enchantment. You’ll wander the bustling streets of Delhi, where saris twirl in a vibrant dance of colours and the air is a tantalizing blend of exotic spices. Next, Agra and Pushkar await, with their bold forts and ancient temples spinning tales that echo through the ages. Ranthambore National Park invites you to discover animals roaming freely, peacocks putting on dazzling dance moves and maybe even a tiger or two. Pack your sense of wonder and let India unfold in all its glory.
