Combine the must- see sights of the Golden Triangle – Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur – with the extraordinary city of Varanasi. There is nowhere like Varanasi elsewhere on earth – it is a must visit destination for the curious traveller.
Begin your journey in Delhi, with the majestic Claridges hotel as your base. Deep dive into the wonders of this city alongside your excellent private guide. Explore Humayun’s Tomb, discover the Gurdwara Bangla Sahib and admire the Qutb Minar. Next move on to Agra and focus your time on the exquisite Taj Mahal. Visit at both sunset and sunrise – the two best times to enjoy the Taj. If time permits also stop in at the Red Fort, an awesome sight. Travel to Jaipur next via the remarkable abandoned city of Fatehpur Sikri. In Jaipur, explore the Amber Fort, a huge honey-coloured fort on the edge of the city.
Wander the pink city streets and admire the intricate Hawa Mahal. Spend time at the City Palace, and the Jantar Mantar observatory before your flight to Varanasi, one of the oldest continually inhabited cities on earth, and the most holy city in India to the Hindu faith. On the banks of the holy Mother Ganga (River Ganges), Varanasi attracts Hindu pilgrims in their thousands each day who come to bathe in the holy waters, pray and make offerings. Varanasi is also famous for its cremation ghats, which are scattered along the riverbank. Dive into this otherworldly city with your guide. A boat ride on the Ganges is a must, and witness the evening aarti, a holy ceremony, that is both very moving and a visual feast. Fly back to Delhi and onwards home, armed with many stories for friends and family.
