Golden Triangle, Rajasthan and Ranthambore Family Holiday

India Highlights Golden Triangle, Rajasthan and Ranthambore Family Holiday

For families looking for a superb introduction to India, packed full of highlights then look no further. From bustling mega cities to rural idylls, tiger tracking to the Taj at sunrise, pink palaces to yellow – this itinerary has it all. Stay in excellent 4-star hotels and enjoy private transfers from A to B on this action-packed family adventure.

Dive into Delhi, one of the world’s biggest and most chaotic cities, packed full of incredible sights. Explore with your knowledgeable guide who will make sense of the madness and show you wonders such as the Qutb Minar, the Jama Masjid, and the colourful bazaars of Old Delhi. Claridges, your hotel in the city, will provide a cool, calm stay complete with swimming pool. Travel by rail then – a quintessential Indian experience – to Agra and the Taj Mahal. One of the seven wonders of the world, visit the Taj twice and find time to explore the Red Fort also.

Ranthambore is next, but don’t rush the bizarre abandoned city of Fatehpur Sikri which you visit on the way. The excitement of waking up early to go on safari in search of tigers is electrifying. Ranthambore is home to a healthy and growing population of these magnificent big cats and sightings are frequent. With luck you will leave for Jaipur having had some memorable sightings. In Jaipur stay at Samode Haveli and discover the huge, sprawling Amber Fort, just outside the city, and delve into the heart of the pink city visiting Hawa Mahal, the city palace and the Jantar Mantar observatory. Join a local family for a cookery lesson that is both fun and informative. Shahpura may not be familiar to you but is often a highlight. Best described as an opulent home stay, Shahpura Bagh is remarkable. Time here is unstructured so you can choose exactly what you want to do – be it birdwatching, boating, a cycling tour, yoga, or sundowners at an abandoned fort. Your stay here will open your eyes to a side of India that is often missed, especially on a first visit. Udaipur is the last stop on your epic adventure. Often labelled the ‘most romantic city in India’, Udaipur is a gloriously picturesque little city. Most of your exploration will be on or around the lake, visiting the city palace, and taking a sunset boat ride. End where you began, back in Delhi, after what will have been an action-packed adventure through northern India’s gems.
