Eight days, with the Taj twice and two dawns on the Ganges. The same route flying Jaipur to Varanasi rather than the overnight train, which saves fifteen hours and costs the experience.

Top Highlights

  • Humayun's TombHumayun's tomb is the prototype for the Taj and seeing it first makes the Taj legible.
  • Jama MasjidThe Taj is closed on Fridays and late afternoon has better light and fewer people than midday.
  • Taj at sunriseShah Jahan spent his last eight years imprisoned in the fort by his son, with a view of the tomb he had built.
  • Agra Fort
  • Jantar MantarJantar Mantar's largest sundial is twenty-seven metres and tells local time to about two seconds.
  • Amber FortFifteen hours in a two-tier AC sleeper.
  • Dashashwamedh GhatThe aarti happens every evening and the boat is a better vantage than the bank, which is packed.
  • Assi GhatPhotography is not permitted at the cremation ghats and the guides will brief you before you get close.

Well paced over 8 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Would book with them again.

Well paced over 8 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy. Worth every rupee.

Well paced over 8 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. Solid operator.

Delhi done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. Would send friends their way.
