Overview
Spend 18 days immersing yourself in north Indian culture and getting to know the locals on this round-trip from Delhi. Get to know India’s chaotic capital with a knowledgeable local leader to show you the highlights of Old Delhi, and visit the enormous Sikh community kitchen at Sheeshganj Gurudwara. Tuck into a traditional Rajasthani dinner by the campfire in the Thar Desert, explore the opulent Mehrangarh Fort and witness the striking symmetry of the Taj Mahal – one of the Wonders of the World. Get around on rickshaws and overnight trains for an authentic local experience and get a taste of the local cuisine, seeking out as many spicy curries, buttery parathas and sticky-sweet jalebis as your heart desires.
