India abounds with riches — mystical and spiritual, chaotic and confounding. It beckons visitors to explore the art, architecture, and sights and sounds stretching thousands of years into the past. Trace India’s classic Golden Triangle, starting in bustling Delhi, and then spend some time at the Gandhi Memorial in Old Delhi. Continue to legendary Jaipur — one of the great cities of the Rajput — known for its pink sandstone buildings. Visit Amber Fort — India’s capital from 1037 to 1728, and search for the elusive Bengal tigers and other intriguing wildlife at Ranthambore National Park — once a royal hunting ground. Travel by train to Agra to visit the sublime Taj Mahal, as well as Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri — all UNESCO World Heritage Sites. See the evocative Hindu temples at Khajuraho and Hinduism’s holiest city of Varanasi on the Ganges — a sacred place of pilgrimage. Experience this magical destination and the allure of India in a comprehensive tour specially designed for you.
