- Sample flavoursome and familiar curries
Northern India conjures up colourful images of turbans, saris, rickshaws and flavoursome curries. On this trip we sample it all, visiting the Pink City of Jaipur, home to the former Maharaja’s Palace and hilltop Amber Fort. We also stop at Agra and the serene Taj Mahal, which fully live up to expectations. Our early morning boat ride along the mist-shrouded ghats of Varanasi is both fascinating and deeply moving; an experience only equalled by spotting a tiger in Ranthambore National Park.

Is Asia open for tourists?
Despite the initial fears of the Covid-19 pandemic, most Asian countries have managed to mitigate its effects. As such, many popular destinations throughout the continent are currently open for travelers with precautionary measures like mandatory vaccinations. A few countries, however, require newly arrived travelers to spend a couple of days in quarantine.
As of February 2022, countries like Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia are officially open for vaccinated tourists without the need for quarantine. Meanwhile, India and Indonesia are two of the countries that may require you to quarantine for up to a week on arrival. However, Japan, Vietnam, and Myanmar are yet to open their doors to visitors.

Is India a safe place for tourists?
India is generally safe for tourists. However, petty crimes, such as pickpocketing and purse snatching, are common. Tourists tend to be targeted in busy tourist areas, and petty crime frequently occurs on public transportation and overnight trains. Be aware of your surroundings and take care to avoid potentially risky situations.
