Highlights:
- Holidays to India for all the family
- Delhi & Taj Mahal
- Tigers of Ranthambore
- Jaipur - the Pink City
Prepare to be amazed by the sights, sounds, and hustle and bustle of Old Delhi's narrow streets and hectic bazaars. Travelling by train to Agra you set out to discover what has been described as the world's most beautiful building - the Taj Mahal. Sunrise here really is unforgettable - as the early morning mists clear, the delicately carved marble walls change from rose pink to dazzling white.
The pace of the holiday slows as you journey to the deserted city of Fatehpur Sikri and Keoladeo Bird Sanctuary. Then you'll spend two exciting nights in Ranthambore National Park. On safari game drives you'll go in search of crocodile, deer, leopard - and tiger! In Jaipur, originally painted pink by a maharaja to welcome Prince Albert, you'll see the beautiful Palace of the Winds and visit the magnificent hilltop Amber Fort. Lastly you journey to rural Shekhawati where you'll meet welcoming local people and learn about their traditional ways of life.
In the summer months we operate an amended itinerary visiting Sariska National Park rather than Ranthambore. Please see our Trip Dossier or call one of our Travel Consultants for full details of these holidays.
