Itinerary
Explore northern India’s highlights from the Pink City to the Taj Mahal
Embark on a grand journey through northern India’s highlights, including one of the famed Seven Wonders of the World, street food that will make you salivate and bustling city streets next to spiritual havens. Uncover the depths of the Pink City of Jaipur by visiting the Amber fort and the lesser-known Panna Meena ka Kund, a 16th century stepwell. This 10-day trip through colourful India includes lavish palaces, vibrant bazaars and, of course, the Taj Mahal. You’ll witness the Mughal splendours of Agra, wander the Old City of Delhi and eat your fill of curries and flatbreads. It’s the ultimate India Golden Triangle trip – jam-packed yet very comfortable.

What an experience! We were very lucky to have our tour leader Neeraj who made this trip wonderful. Be prepared for many early mornings and some long travel days so that you can see everything at the best times. It’s really worth it though to see such an amazing colourful country!

The north India tour was an incredible and immersive way to experience India, it was fast paced but we got to see so much, and our tour guide Saby made it such a brilliant experience we couldn’t fault a thing about this trip.

This trip took me back to all the colour, culture, history, sounds, food and aroma I remembered when I visited India as a backpacker 45 years ago. It was so much easier to have the knowledge, support and organisational skills of our amazing Intredid leader, Mahaveer.
