This timeless cultural odyssey takes you back in time to grandeur of India's Raj. Our classic tour of Northern India, takes in the Golden Triangle of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur and adds the colourful Shekhawati region in Rajasthan. Marvel at the beauty of the Taj Mahal, lose yourself in the bustling streets of Old Delhi, wonder and the grand folly of Fatehpur Sikri and enjoy the endless pink walls of Jaipur. We start this tour in the teeming capital, Delhi where there is plenty of time to explore this commercial and cultural hub on Northern India. We take you on an interesting tour of Old and New Delhi visiting the Jama Masjid mosque and parliament buildings and then there is time to explore the bustling streets of Old Delhi. We next make our way to Agra, home of the famous Taj Mahal. This beautiful monument stands as a testament to one man love and the serene setting is sure to make even the most cynical wonder. After plenty of time to enjoy this and other sites in Agra we head out towards Jaipur stopping en route at the deserted city of Fatehpur Sikri. This amazing city was constructed by the Mughal Emporer Akbar in 1569 and then just a few years later abandoned. It is today still wonderfully preserved well worth a few hours exploring. We also take some time to visit Ranthambore National Park where you and your guide search for the elusive Bengal Tiger, and see plenty of other wildlife. Arriving in Jaipur we take a tour of the 'Pink City', including a visit to the Amber Palace, a visit to the Hawa Mahal 'Palace of the Winds' and a tour of the Jantar Mantar 'Observatory'. From Jaipur we next visit the Shekhawati region made famous by its colourful outdoor frescos. We'll stay in a wonderful heritage hotel and have plenty of time to enjoy the unique art of this less visited region of India, before heading back to Delhi where the tour ends. 5-star hotels Guesthouse Wildlife lodge Heritage hotels
