Delhi-Varanasi-Khajuraho-Agra-Jaipur-Pushkar-Jodhpur-Udaipur-Delhi (16 nights/ 17 days)

This programme commences and ends in the historic capital, Delhi. The most accessible and rewarding for first-time visitors to the sub continent, this journey takes you to the most fascinating cities in India. It takes you to the sacred river Ganges to visit the holy city of Varanasi and then to Khajuraho, famous for its exceptionally carved sandstone sculptures on the facades depicting a wealth of subject, including the erotica that has made Khajuraho justifiably famous.

Later, the triangle of three cities of Agra, Jaipur and Delhi, perfectly captures the pageantry of India. A gorgeous panorama of majestic architectural creations and a rich tradition of art and culture. Here you can see some of the images that epitomise India. The marble symphony of Shahjahan's Taj Mahal, the imperial elegance of Lutyens' New Delhi, the splendour of the desert city of Jaipur. Every city offers its unique blend of sights, sounds and experiences. From the opulence of the Mughal empire to the vibrant life of modern India.

Also take a peek into Rajasthan which still retains an elusive fairy-tale character. A land where the tales of valour of its medieval Rajput warriors are still sung by its travelling bards.
