DAY 1 - Arrive Delhi

Delhi

What’s up Indian explorers! Who’s ready for an intoxicating dose of spice, flavour, yoga, beauty, colour, culture, and everything else wonderful that India can provide? The next 12 days are likely to be some of the best of your life so get ready for some serious memory making, starting off with meeting your new travel fam this evening.

Stay

The Ashtan Sarovar Portico Hotel (or similar)

DAY 2 - Delhi

Delhi

Delhi, prepare to be officially conquered. Today is all about exploring one of the world’s most hustling, bustling, and all out crazy cities, home to a staggering 25 million people (for real). Together with our Local Guide we’ll be taking in the sights and learning the stories of Old Delhi, hopping in rickshaws during our explorations to weave a path through the back streets. Stopping for lunch to appease rumbling tummies with tangy street food delights like kachori, pakora and jelebi we’ll then make our way to the Gurdwara Sikh Temple. Riding high on the culture wave the afternoon is then yours to explore Delhi your way with free time to go a-wandering. Maybe swap mayhem for tranquillity at the Lodi Gardens, or visit the legendary Humayun’s Tomb. Dinner tonight is a DIY vibe, tasting the very best of Delhi with your new crew.

NO REGRETS INCLUSIONS

Locally guided sightseeing tour of Delhi

Stay

The Ashtan Sarovar Portico Hotel (or similar)

Visit Agra Fort

Visit the Taj Mahal

Agra

Who’s ready for some serious bucketlist ticking? Linking up with our Local Guide we’ll mosey our way over to two of India’s finest, visiting first the UNESCO World Heritage Agra Fort, and then the main event – the Taj Mahal. We’ll hook you up with an entry ticket so you can explore at your own pace, learning about the incredible love story that resulted in the creation of one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Take your time exploring – after all, you’ve probably been waiting a lifetime for this moment – then tonight head out with the gang for a DIY dinner, Agra style.

Stay

The Retreat Hotel (or similar)

Still living off the Taj dream we’ll wave goodbye to Agra early this morning with eyes firmly on the wild horizon.

Visit to Dhonk Centre

Ranthambore

Feel the calm of nature sweep over you as we arrive at Ranthambore National Park, one of the largest and most renowned National Parks in Northern India and our home for the night. After a lunch pit-stop we’ll make our way to the Dhonk Craft Centre, a cooperative that was set up to serve a dual purpose – to employ those who would otherwise only find income from tiger poaching, and also to preserve traditional artistry. Handicrafts lovers will be in craft utopia at the beautiful creations on offer from the local ladies, and spending is guilt free knowing that your money is going towards sustaining a local community. Feel good vibes on high we’ll end the day with a tasty group dinner set against a back drop none of us will be forgetting any time soon.

Stay

DAY 5 - Ranthambore to Jaipur

Safari trucks will pick you up from your accommodation, then we’ll head out into the lush forest for some serious wildlife watching. Wild animals AND an epic sunrise all before breakfast, and Jaipur next on the agenda? You could call that one way to start the day.

Old and new, colour and chaos, camels and rickshaws - Jaipur is a hustling hot mess of wonderful. Once you've checked in, now's your time to get custom clothes made by a local tailor. Or if you're after some relaxation time, head upstairs to the hotel rooftop, you'll get a perfect view of the city. Gather your crew up here for dinner and watch the sun go down on this beautiful city, but get an early night because tomorrow it's time for the Amber Fort!

Stay

Park Inn Hotel (or similar)

DAY 6 - Jaipur

Jaipur

Ready for more of exotic, chaotic Jaipur? We thought so. Today is all about seeing the city your way, heading out to explore armed with maps, insider tips from your Trip Manager, and a healthy dose of curiosity.

Mumbai

Fast, furious and fantastic, Mumbai is a completely unparalleled sensory overload. Slums and millionaire mansions live side by side, tropical forests rub up against towering skyscrapers and colonial masterpieces, whilst gangsters, artists, celebrities, servants and fisherfolk all walk the same walk. The best way to understand this complex city is to get out and amongst it, and that’s exactly what we’re going to do. Our Local Guide will take us to the Dhobi Ghat, a massive human-powered laundromat with 1026 open-air troughs, and to the serene Hanging Gardens. Tonight, we’re hitting the D-floor Bollywood style, with a Dance Class (Free Time Add-On) to learn some of the sweet moves that Bollywood is famous for.

DAY 11 - Goa

Goa

Wake up with a smile this morning as you remember exactly where you are, knowing today is entirely yours to do as much, or as little, as you want. Spirituality is a big part of the Goa experience, so start your day with some optional yoga on the beach, clearing your mind and stretching your travel tired limbs. Tonight is our final one together (sob), so make sure you do it right. Sunset and beers on the beach ticking the boxes?

FREE TIME ADD-ONS

Yoga on the beach

INR2390

Goa

Even the biggest and best adventures have to end at some point, and this morning sees the finale of ours. After a final breakfast together it’s time for the long (and possibly teary) goodbye. Sure you’ll be sad, but remembering all of the massive moments and seemly insignificant giggles in-between will see you smiling your whole journey home.

So Impressed! India Made Easy!!

Excellent value for money. The inclusions are great, having a local guide with us for majority of the trip made all the difference. The internal flights, transport and accommodation were all to a high standard and comfortable.

India was entirely different to what I expected. It was hectic, noisy, constantly busy. But overall the hustle and bustle and the organised un-organisation was amazing.

Eternally Spicy India

The north of India had so much to offer, from the awe inspiring Taj, to home cooked meals and beautiful temples. My heart is forever touched by this country and I will crave this food for the rest of my life, dramatic much? Not really. Its a country that takes you out of your comfort zone, a chaotic whirlwind but its in this space that you find the Eat Pray Love moments, the happy smiles of the locals and colours blossoming like flowers all around you.
