India's Golden Triangle & Southern Highlights

Join a 16-day adventure that kicks off with north India’s must-sees before taking you through this magnificent country’s south. Follow the Golden Triangle of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur – go on a rickshaw ride through the bustling Chandni Chowk marketplace, explore the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Amber Fort and visit the iconic Taj Mahal. Then, with your bucket list already considerably shorter, fly to Goa to experience the warm hospitality, rich history and mouth-wateringly spicy cuisine of the south. Have dinner with a local family in Kochi and take a traditional houseboat through Kerala’s backwaters – this trip covers the highlights without missing out on authentic experiences.
