Highlights
Delhi: Dive into Old Delhi with Local Guide. Check out the Red Fort before hopping on rickshaws through the city’s buzzing narrow lanes to Jama Mosque. You'll cruise past India Gate and the grand government buildings, including the President’s House, then visit Gandhi’s House.
Bikaner: Wander through Junagarh Fort, a desert stronghold rising from the sands of Bikaner and known as one of Rajasthan’s most intricately decorated forts. Explore its courtyards, balconies and detailed interiors, and see firsthand the craftsmanship that once housed royal power in the heart of the Thar.
Jaisalmer: Explore Jaisalmer Fort with a Local Guide and step into a real-life sandcastle built from golden sandstone. You'll walk past homes, temples and shopfronts (all of them still thriving within its walls). It's basically like walking through history.
Jaisalmer: Saddle up for a camel ride across the Thar Desert as the dunes shift from gold to deep amber at sunset. Take it slow, breathe it in, and watch the horizon do its thing just like the locals.
Jaisalmer: Circle up by the bonfire for an evening of traditional Rajasthani folk music and dance beneath the open sky. Feel the rhythm, soak up the stories, and share a night that’s all about culture, connection and epic desert vibes.
Jodhpur: Head up the hill for views of the mighty Mehrangarh Fort towering 125 metres above the city, then descend into Jodhpur’s sea of blue for a guided orientation through the old town. Wander past the clock tower and into Sadar Bazaar, one of India’s oldest markets.
Pushkar: Stroll through Pushkar’s old town on an orientation walk that brings you to the holy lake, sacred ghats and the iconic Brahma Temple. Best part? You'll experience an evening Aarti Ceremony as chants rise into the dusk.
Pushkar: Rise early and climb up to Savitri Temple for sunrise, earning sweeping views over Pushkar and the desert beyond. Feel the city wake beneath you as the first light hits.
Jaipur: Explore Jaipur on a guided walk through the Pink City’s sandstone streets and buzzing bazaars. Follow your guide through the old lanes, spot local crafts and everyday scenes, and get your bearings in a city that’s all colour, culture, and constant movement.
Jaipur: Step inside Amber Fort on a guided tour and explore its grand courtyards, intricate halls and hilltop views that once housed Rajput royalty. Walk the same pathways as warriors and rulers, and see why this fortress still steals the show.
Jaipur: Pause for a photo stop at the iconic Hawa Mahal, Jaipur’s pink sandstone showpiece known for its honeycomb windows and royal past. Cameras out, this one deserves a spot on the grid.
Agra: This one needs no introduction. Epic in the pictures. Out-of-this-world IRL.
Rishikesh: Gather at the Ganges for the evening aarti. The priests perform synchronized rituals, brass lamps glow against the dusk, and chants echo along the riverbanks. You'll watch diyas float across the water and feel the energy build as day turns to night. It’s a powerful way to experience Rishikesh after dark.
Rishikesh: Ease into the morning with a guided yoga session designed to stretch out travel-tired muscles and reset your mind. All right here, in the home of yoga.
Rishikesh: Walk through Rishikesh with a guided orientation past markets and ashrams, then head to the Beatles Ashram to explore old meditation huts, bold graffiti and forest trails overlooking the Ganges. It’s part spiritual retreat, part open-air art gallery (and seriously photogenic).
Lucknow: Hop into a tuk-tuk for an orientation spin around Lucknow’s key sights, taking in the city’s grand façades and everyday rhythm from the street. We’ll see the landmarks from the outside, soaking up the vibe as we go.
Varanasi: Zip through Varanasi on a guided e-rickshaw tour, weaving between temples and bustling lanes before heading to the Ganges for the evening Ghat Aarti ceremony. Watch the flames rise, hear the chants build, and feel the riverfront come alive after dark.
Jaipur: Get hands-on with a block printing workshop led by women from marginalized communities at Anoothi, a women-run social enterprise connected to the Vatsalya Society. You’ll learn the basics of traditional textile printing, see the techniques up close, and meet the makers behind the craft — all while supporting skills training and income opportunities for local women.
Jodhpur: Head up the hill for views of the mighty Mehrangarh Fort towering 125 metres above the city, then descend into Jodhpur’s sea of blue for a guided orientation through the old town. Wander past the clock tower and into Sadar Bazaar, one of India’s oldest markets.
Pushkar: Stroll through Pushkar’s old town on an orientation walk that brings you to the holy lake, sacred ghats and the iconic Brahma Temple. Best part? You'll experience an evening Aarti Ceremony as chants rise into the dusk.
