Complete the famed Golden Triangle, visiting Delhi, Agra and Jaipur

Starting and ending in New Delhi, the "Highlights Of Northern India" trip is a guided local culture tour that takes 9 days. You will travel through Agra, Varanasi and New Delhi in India. "Highlights Of Northern India" is a small group trip which includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.

Discover the best of northern India on this highlight-packed adventure. Led by an expert tour leader, we marvel at the always-impressive Taj Mahal, a New Wonder of the World, and explore the Pink City of Jaipur. We also have an early morning boat ride along the mist-shrouded ghats of Varanasi, an experience only equalled by spotting one of the elusive tigers in Ranthambore National Park. Add to that the everyday wonders – smiling locals, whizzing rickshaws and flavoursome curries – and you will see why North India is such a favourite with our groups.

Highlights of northern india

A busy but fun filled 8 days travelling around to see the best of northern India! A lot of travelling on the bus but that’s really the only way to get around, plus you see a lot of how people live, get around and the landscape.
