Discover classic India in the Golden Triangle: from Delhi, travel to Agra for the breathtaking Taj Mahal, its symmetry and beauty unforgettable. Continue west to Jaipur’s architectural wonders and royal palaces, or unwind in a floating hotel on Udaipur’s romantic Lake Pichola.
“Visiting Varanasi is a truly transformative experience. The highlight for many of my clients is a boat ride at dawn along the Ganges as the rising sun illuminates the ancient temples and pilgrims perform their morning rituals along the ghats (stairways leading to the river). Considered to be the spiritual heart of India, it’s a place that will leave you deeply moved.”

"Street food in India is a sensory adventure - a burst of sounds, colours, and the aromas of spices. Don’t miss Chole Bhature, a fluffy bread served with delicious chickpea curry, or Kulfi, a creamy frozen dessert infused with saffron and cardamom, perfect for cooling down in the Indian heat!"
