India Tours
Golden Triangle (Six Days)
Short in duration this trip is designed for those on a limited time scale. The trip includes the two main tourist centres of India and leaves out of Delhi. It can also be combined with other tours out of Delhi and includes visits of the famous Taj Mahal at Agra, the abandoned Mughal Capital Fatehpur Sikri and the city of Jaipur with its magnificent Amber Fort.
Delhi – Kathmandu including Agra & Varanasi (14 Days)
This is a longer and very popular trip that takes around two weeks in duration. Two of the most enduring images of India are undoubtedly the magnificent Taj Mahal at Agra and the incredible bathing ghats of the Ganges at Varanasi. From timeless Moghul architecture to religious rituals, this tour will introduce you to some of the contrasts making India such a remarkable destination before finishing in Kathmandu via Chitwan National Park and Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha.
Foothills of the Himalayas
The northern part of Utter Pradesh is an area of beautiful hills, mountains and lakes. You take an exciting rafting trip down the Ganges whereby you float past temples, ashrams and yoga centres of the holy city of Rishikesh, made famous by the Beatles who visited here in the 1960s. Next is a visit to Corbett National Park where you travel by Jeep and on elephant back through the jungle trying to catch a view of the great Indian tiger. The trip is rounded off with scenic drive to the pretty little hill station of Natalina.
