Itinerary
Welcome to India and the big city bustle of Delhi! Your journey begins in this colorful capital city with contrasts at every turn. Expect both the ancient and modern: think ancient relics of bygone eras next to shopping malls. Meanwhile, street stalls, rickshaws, animals and tourists jostle for space in the narrow lanes of Old Delhi. After arriving and transferring to your hotel on your own, meet up with your Travel Director and fellow travelers to chat through what’s to come on your India tour. Then indulge in your first taste of Delhi's foodie scene over dinner.
Delhi, India
Delhi encapsulates two very different worlds, the âoldâ and the ânewâ, each presenting deliciously different experiences. Rambunctious Old Delhi, the Muslim Indian capital between the 17th and 19th century, has many mosques, monuments, forts and bazaars with a distinctive mediaeval flavour. New Delhi, the imperial city created by the British, flaunts a surprising number of impressive monuments reflecting the glory of the Mughal, Turk, Persian and ultimately the British rulers.
Kickstart your tour of things to do in Delhi in the maze of streets and vibrant bazaars of Old Delhi. Uncover this real slice of India as you visit the stunning red sandstone carved Jama Masjid, Delhi’s largest mosque and a little pocket of peace. There’s time to explore before hopping on board a cycle rickshaw to weave through the streets of Old Delhi before visiting Raj Ghat, the resting place for Mahatma Gandhi. After your exciting ride, move on to New Delhi to experience a different side to the city, driving past grand government buildings and leafy avenues. Your last stop will be Humayun's Tomb, another ancient remnant of the Mughal reign. After an incredible day, return to your hotel with a free evening and the option to join a Choice Experience food tour.

India is a traveler’s playground. Head to Agra today with the option to join a Choice Experience at Agra Fort, one of India’s finest Mughal forts. Explore the maze of buildings, forming a city within a city, made of many fairy-tale palaces, such as the Jahangir Palace and the Khas Mahal. This afternoon you get to visit the Taj Mahal, a grand mausoleum so impressive in real life. Stand in awe as the light washes over the white marble, painting shades of pink and gold. Built in 1632 as a tribute to the love Shah Jahan had for his third wife Mumtaz Mahal, 20,000 craftsmen took 17 years to complete this ‘Love Poem in Marble.' Head inside to visit the tombs of Shah and Mumtaz. Oh and don’t forget to snap a photo on the famous “Diana’s bench” to see it in all its glory!
Agra, India
Agra, situated on the banks of the river Yamuna, is part of the popular Golden Triangle tourist circuit, along with Delhi and Jaipur. It is also home to UNESCO World Heritage Sites like the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, and Fatehpur Sikri.
Another day on your trip to India, another incredible city awaits. India is a country where huge cities, massive architectural wonders and food that knows no limits is around every turn. Choose to get up early to experience the dazzling Taj Mahal at sunrise. Along the way to Jaipur, stop at a lesser-known treasure, the long deserted ‘Ghost City 'of Fatehpur Sikri, built in 1569. Then fuel up for lunch before making your way to the “Pink City” of Jaipur. After settling into your hotel, you have the rest of the day to explore your way. Perhaps witness the Aarti Ceremony in Birla Temple followed by dinner.
