Day 1

WELCOME TO INDIA!

Welcome to incredible India – a country that’ll capture your heart forever. The trip starts in Delhi, where a friendly face will be waiting to greet you at the airport and take you to your hotel. As you navigate through the chaotic streets of Delhi, with rickshaws, bikes, cars and street vendors all jostling for space on the road, you’ll be glad you’re not driving! Depending on your arrival time, you may have the chance to get a short glimpse of Delhi before meeting the group tonight at your welcome dinner. Let the adventure begin!

Day 3

DO YOUR THING

Today you’ll have a full day in Delhi to do whatever your heart desires. We’ll give you our favourite recommendations but well up that list is visiting the Humayun Tomb, an elaborate pink structure built in 1570 that’ll make you feel like you’re standing before the Taj Mahal itself. It’s the perfect introduction to the grandeur of Mughal architecture and will leave you even more excited to finally visit the Taj Mahal later on the tour. The day is yours – so get out and explore!

Day 5

ARTS & CRAFTS

We’ll kick things off with a 2.5-hour art and craft walk through the stunning old city, where we’ll meander through blue-hued alleyways, admire beautiful temples, and even witness artisans crafting famous Rajasthani leather shoes and hand-knotted clothes. In the late afternoon, we’ll venture to the outskirts of Jodhpur to a local farm, where we’ll learn about sustainable and traditional farming practices before indulging in a 7-course meal made from fresh produce. You thought the food in India was great before, but this will knock your socks off!

Day 7

PALACES, STREET FOOD & DANCE MOVES

It’s time to explore Jaipur, so let’s start with the breathtaking (and massive) City Palace. This huge palace takes up a seventh of the old city, so we have our work cut out to see all of the best bits in one morning! All of that exploring will have worked up an appetite, so in the afternoon we’ll do a special food tour, with a social initiative that provides employment to 200 women from low-income households. Expect a mouth-watering journey of Jaipur’s best kachoris, lassis, rabris, and kulfis! And if that wasn’t enough, tonight we’ll learn how to groove like true Bollywood stars at a lively dance class. What a day!

Day 9

RANTHAMBORE NATIONAL PARK

Leaving Jaipur in the rear-view mirror, we’ll make our way to Ranthambore National Park. This world-class national park has it all: ancient fortresses, temples, and Bengal tigers that roam among the ruins and stalk through the jungle! On arrival, we’ll stretch our legs with a walk to Ranthambore Fort, a powerful stronghold that has seen its fair share of attacks and conquests throughout history. The fort’s well-planned construction and strategic location made it a major barrier for invaders – it’s a real sight to behold!

Day 11

AGRA + COOKING WORKSHOP

We’ll start the day by hopping on an air-conditioned train to Bharatpur, then drive on to the stunning city of Agra. After the day spent exploring Agra at your own pace, we’ll meet back up in the evening to take a Mughlai cooking class together. It’s time to unleash your inner chef! Influenced by Central Asian and Islamic recipes, Mughlai cuisine is as unique as it is fragrant. Under a chef’s careful tutelage, we’ll prepare classics like malai ki sabzi and onion paratha. Then, there’s only one thing left to do – eat!

Day 13

SUNSET ON THE GANGES

After arriving early in the morning, we’ll fuel up with breakfast at a local restaurant before heading to Sarnath. This monumental site is the place where Buddha delivered his first sermon, and where Buddhism came into existence! In the afternoon we’ll embark on a fascinating walking tour of Varanasi itself. And when the sun is setting, we’ll witness a breathtaking candle flower ceremony and the Ganga Aarti fire ritual offered every evening at Main Ghat. To top it all off, we’ll enjoy a sunset boat ride along the Ganges, where our guide will share the stories of the many ghats and temples lining its banks. You’ll feel the magic in the air!

Day 15

WAS IT ALL A DREAM?

As our incredible journey through India comes to an end, it’s hard to believe all the amazing experiences we’ve had together! We’ve seen the iconic Taj Mahal, gone on thrilling safaris, tasted delicious cuisine, visited sacred sites, and so much more – all while making unforgettable memories with a group of new friends. Saying goodbye is never easy, so let’s just say “see you next time”!
