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. Stay in luxurious accommodation throughout and discover the sights alongside an expert private guide.
Begin your journey in Delhi, with the stylish the Lodhi as your base. Explore the wonders of this city alongside your guide. Explore Humayun’s Tomb, discover the Gurdwara Bangla Sahib and admire the Qutb Minar. Next move on to Agra where you will 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 stop in at the Red Fort, an awesome sight. Travel then to Jaipur 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 a flight to Varanasi, an extraordinary city on the bank of the River Ganges. Holy Mother Ganga is so powerful here that many thousands of Hindu devotees flock to the city each day to bathe in her waters, pay their respects and recite prayers. Varanasi is also known for the funeral pyres along the ghats, where the deceased are openly cremated. Take a boat ride on the Ganges, and witness the atmospheric evening aarti, holy ceremony. Fly back to Delhi and onwards home, armed with many stories for friends and family.
