Experience the major highlights of India in this nine day tour which covers Delhi, Agra, Jaipur and Varanasi. The tour starts in Delhi. From here we travel to Jaipur, known as the Pink City and one of India’s cultural highlights. We visit the imposing Amber Fort as well as the beautiful City Palace and Observatory.

We travel by overnight train to Varanasi, where we visit Sarnath and other sights of the city. But the highlight of course is the boat trip along the Holy River Ganges, where we will witness Indian religious rituals and daily life.
