This program starts from Delhi, the capital city of India where you have two days to explore the diverse sights and sounds of this lively place. The second destination you would be heading to is Leh, the remote mountain kingdom, which is often called the Little Lhasha. In the three days you have in Leh, you can make a visit to the many breathtaking monasteries. Those inclined towards outdoors, can go white-water rafting in the Indus.
The second part of the trip takes you to the land of Rajputana, also known as the Land of the Kings. Here you would get to see some of the finest forts and palaces in the world and also get a taste of the famous heritage hospitality of Rajasthan. The first city in Rajasthan that we take you to is Jodhpur – the capital of the ancient kingdom of Marwar. Next you head to the lake city of Udaipur. In between we will take you to the Kumbhalgarh fort – the largest fort in India encompassed by a 36 km long wall. You can spend an entire day exploring this fabulous fort and the ruins that lie within. There is also a tribal settlement inside the fort consisting of a clan that has fiercely guarded the ancient fort for centuries and continues to live there long after the Mewar kings decided to shift the capital to Udaipur.
You cannot tell your friends that you have visited India until you have seen the Taj Mahal. The last leg of your trip would take you to this famous monument of love that was erected by the great Shah Jehan for his ladylove. From Agra you fly to Khajuraho – a city where the modern world has rediscovered not just the art of love but architectural wonders. Next you could sample the bathing ghats of the holy city Varanasi.
