Trip Informations

Why you’ll love this trip

Travel into the Thar Desert, spending a memorable evening eating Rajasthani food under the stars in a camp set among sand dunes.

Have your expectations smashed by the spectacular Taj Mahal during a guided tour that illuminates the building’s fascinating back story.

Snap incredible photos of the immense Chand Baori, a grand ninth-century stepwell in rural Abhaneri that extends over 20 metres into the earth.

Explore the centre of India’s spiritual heart – Varanasi – on a guided walking tour through the alleyways of the Old Town right to the bank of the Ganges.

India can be intimidating, but with your local leader there the whole way, you’ll be dodging cows, navigating market stalls, and eating from the best chaat stalls in Delhi in no time.

Is this trip right for you?

This is a trip made for travellers who value their independence but also want the benefit of a local leader and a group of like-minded travellers. The itinerary has a mix of included activities and free time when your leader will offer suggestions. Please budget spending money for optional activities you want to partake in.

In order to see as much as possible in this vast country, this trip involves some very long bus and train journeys, including a 19-hour overnight train from Delhi to Jaisalmer and a 15-hour overnight train from Varanasi to Delhi. These trips can be tiring but offer a quintessential Indian experience.

Overnight trains feature padded berths with sheets, a pillow, and a blanket provided (although some people prefer to bring their own sleeping sheet). Please note that you may be sharing with locals of the same or opposite gender. More information can be found in the ‘Transport’ section of the Essential Trip Information or at https://www.tuuur.com/adventures/india-trains-guide . https://www.tuuur.com/adventures/india-trains-guide (https://www.tuuur.com/adventures/india-trains-guide)

We've sourced our accommodation carefully and picked the best possible hotels in line with the Tuuur style of travel. Service and accommodation in India may be different from western standards.

Itinerary

Say hello to sandstone cities, sacred rivers and spicy street food

Embark on a 22-day odyssey through India’s intoxicating north. Discover sights, smells, and flavours that will blaze their way into your memory and stay there forever. See towering sandstone fortresses, pilgrims praying on riverbanks, Maharajah mementos in a ghostly palace, and silhouettes on a desert landscape. India can be a daunting place at times, even for experienced travellers, but with the guidance of your local leader, you’ll be navigating the crowds, dodging the cows and eating the best chaat from a cart in no time! From the beating heart of Delhi to the holy city of Varanasi – this is north India.

We do all we can to ensure that travellers booked on a trip that coincides with the Pushkar Camel Fair (which changes each year) will get an opportunity to see the best of the festival. However, we offer no guarantee that the announced dates will not change. Pushkar hotels raise their rates considerably during the festival, so departures across this period may be at a higher price. Although we make bookings months in advance, accommodation in Pushkar tends to overbook at this time. We ask for a flexible approach from people travelling at this time as accommodation, the order of activities and type of transport may need to change.

Trip was amazing with our truely awesome guide Vijay. He really made the 3 weeks special and I’ve come out of this trip with so much knowledge from him

Emily

Apr 11, 2025

The past 3 weeks of travelling Rajasthan will be an experience I never forget. This is heavily due to my amazing guide VJ! VJ made the entire trip safe, smooth and fun. On multiple occassions VJ went out of his way to ensure that the needs of all individuals in the group were met. This also included him personally helping with visa issues and when falling sick. In my particular group, we had a challenging member. Needless to say, VJ was extremely patient and accomodating with their needs. His kindness and generosity to all never went unnoticed. He always went the extra mile! VJ has a fountain of knowledge and made sure that we were always informed and educated about the place/site/temple we were visiting. He was always happy to answer any question or query we had. I highly reccomend VJ as a guide to anyone who wants to be in safe hands, wants a laugh and wants an experince they'll never forget! I can't wait to come back to India and have VJ as my guide again!

What an incredible way to immerse yourself in to the culture of India. Our Leaders exceptional knowledge and care were outstanding.

Joanna

Mar 16, 2025

Loved this trip. It was exactly as described in the itinerary/trip notes. It is a 'basic' trip so don't expect 5-star. This is exactly what I wanted, I like to get an insight into the real country and not stay in international hotels/take airconditioned buses because you can do that anywhere. If you are not prepared for a bit of discomfort and occasionally a bit less hygiene than you get at home, then choose the Premium trip! I loved Varanasi and Udaipur particularly but everywhere was interesting and enjoyable. And the food, yum...... Our leader Swati was great, with a wealth of local knowledge and a calm, friendly manner. She was very approachable and well-organised but also allowed flexibility and didn't micromanage us. I have just got home and already planning my next trip to India with Intrepid!
