About this India itinerary

This package takes you on a quick tour of North India, covering the major attractions that the region is known for. Starting from Delhi, the bustling capital India, we take you to Jaipur, the Pink City with its numerous palaces; to Agra with its indescribably beautiful Taj Mahal; to Khajuraho, the small town in Madhya Pradesh famous for its Hindu and Jain temples with their beautiful sculptures and carvings, some of them explicitly erotic; and to Varanasi, the immortal city on the banks of the River Ganges.

Everything below is a sample. Our India team will stretch it, shorten it, swap the hotels up or down a category and build the days around what you actually want to do.

Trip highlights

  • Delhi: Old Delhi by cycle rickshaw, Jama Masjid, Humayun's Tomb, Qutab Minar and a drive past India Gate and the Presidential Palace.
  • Agra: The Taj Mahal at sunrise, Agra Fort and the marble inlay workshops that still use Mughal techniques.
  • Jaipur: Amber Fort, the City Palace, Jantar Mantar and the textile and block-printing bazaars.
  • Mumbai: The Gateway of India, Elephanta Caves, the Dhobi Ghat and a walk through Colaba and Fort.

October to March, the sweet spot

Most of India is at its best from October to March, when the monsoon has cleared and the days are dry and warm. April to June is hot across the plains but ideal for the Himalaya, and the south-west monsoon from June to September brings heavy rain, deep green landscapes and the lowest prices of the year.
