Tour Overview

India’s Golden Triangle of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur forms the backbone of this introduction to one of the world’s most captivating countries. We start with New Delhi’s colonial boulevards and the towering Qutub Minar, which then give way to the chaos and colour of Old Delhi, where a cycle rickshaw ride weaves through spice markets and narrow lanes steeped in history. In Agra, a sunrise visit to the Taj Mahal delivers a moment that lives up to every expectation, its marble dome glowing pink and gold as the sun rises over the river. From there, the wilds of Ranthambore offer the chance to spot tigers on safari, before the pink-washed city of Jaipur reveals the Amber Fort and the astronomical instruments of the Jantar Mantar observatory. A visit to a social enterprise café run by acid attack survivors adds a powerful and uplifting dimension to our journey. It’s a beautifully balanced taste of India’s history, wildlife and culture, ideal for a first encounter with this extraordinary country.
