Grand Tour of North India... Our Favourite Luxury India Holiday
17 days from £10,840 for 2024 per person
Enjoy an extended tour of northern India, which has been designed to reveal the highlights of this fascinating and enigmatic region. Start by exploring the majestic capital city, Delhi, followed by the sacred city of Varanasi and Khajuraho, famed for its extraordinary carvings, before arriving in Agra, home of the Taj Mahal.
Continue your journey by exploring the regal state of Rajasthan, whose fascinating history is told in innumerable fables and evidenced by its towering forts and dramatic scenery. Take time to explore the cities of Jaipur and Jodhpur and track tigers in Ranthambore National Park. Your final stop will be the fairytale lake city of Udaipur.
No two places on this unusual tour are alike, and together they span many centuries of Indian history and form the backdrop to landmark events such as the birth of Buddhism, Mughal invasion and rule, epic Rajput battles and British imperialism.
