The adventure
There’s no place on Earth as colourful as India. Don’t believe us? Come see for yourself! Your family will witness the full spectrum over these 11 busy days, from the Jama Masjid’s red sandstone, Jaipur’s pink-tinged architecture, Ranthambore National Park’s lush green hills (and its orange-striped main attraction: tigers!), the blazing white majesty of the Taj, and a dazzling flurry of silks in every market. Adventure is an art, and India has the boldest palette around.
Arrive in Delhi at any time. Arrival transfer included. Enjoy a local meal with your group.
Dive into the heart of India’s capital to explore Old Delhi. Visit Delhi’s famous Jama Masjid and count the steps to the top of the minaret for a great view over the old city. Walk through Chandni Chowk, one of India’s oldest and busiest markets, and learn some of the history of the Sikh religion at the Gurduwara. In the afternoon, fly to Udaipur.
Visit the City Palace and Jagdish Mandir, and enjoy a cultural show at Bagore Ki Haveli.
On Day 4, take a boat ride on Lake Pichola and enjoy a sunrise over the city, before a free afternoon to explore further.
Get a taste of Indian village life in Tordi Garh. Play a game of cricket with the local school children and, in the evening, take a camel cart ride out to the dunes.
In the morning, arrive in the Pink City of Jaipur. Take a photo opportunity of Hawa Mahal, or Palace of the Winds. Follow in the footsteps of the royal harem and explore the Amber Fort Palace, which sits atop a rocky hill out in the desert.
In the afternoon, drive to Ranthambore.
Go on safari into Ranthambore National Park, which is one of the original Project Tiger Reserves. Look for deer, birds, monkeys, and, of course, tigers. With lakes, scrublands, and ruined palaces, this park is a fascinating area to visit. After a morning wildlife safari drive, visit a local school and play a game of cricket with the children.
Travel to Agra, visiting Fatehpur Sikri, the now deserted former capital of the Mughals, en route.
Rise early to take in the sunrise at the world famous Taj Mahal. Later, visit the Baby Taj and Agra Fort before driving back to Delhi.
Depart at any time.

Day 5Get a taste of Indian village life…Continue on through the desert along a small road, usually accessible via smaller vehicles. Heading northwards, we are on the way to Tordi Garh, a small remote village where we will stay in an old palace. After arriving, walk around this small area, populated by just 2,000 people. The locals are very friendly and the children are inquisitive, especially if you want to take a picture of them! The owner will take you on a walk around the village through various temples, residential areas, community areas, and the general market. In the evening, opt to visit the dunes to watch the sun set over the wilderness.
