This Indian adventure starts in Delhi, best explored by rickshaw, and concludes in Agra, where you’ll see the awe-inspiring Taj Mahal at sunset. Along the way, you’ll visit some of India’s most beautiful cities, including Jaipur, where you’ll explore the Jantar Mantar observator­y, and the streets of Old Delhi, where you’ll wander through bustling bazaars and see the spectacula­r Red Fort.

You’ll also visit some of India’s most important religious landmarks, including the Golden Temple in Amritsar and the Buddhist temple complex in Dharamshal­a.

While spending two nights in Ranthambor­e National Park, you’ll take safaris in search of elusive Bengal tigers with an expert naturalist.
