Day 1: New Delhi

Welcome to New Delhi – and the start of your India group tour! You’ll meet your group and Adventure Leader this morning, where you’ll get a trip briefing to lay out your fortnight’s travels and tips on staying safe in India. After this, it’s off to your first unmissable experience – a Hindi language lesson. Your local guide will take you through the basics and key phrases that you’ll need for your next two weeks. From there, it’s off for a tour of the city’s highlights. You’ll visit Old Delhi and its temples and spice markets, Connaught Place in the downtown district, and the beautiful Sri Bangla Sahib Gurdwara. This evening, you and your group will pay a visit to Sis Ganj Sikh Temple, which is one of the nine historical gurdwaras in Delhi. After that, you’re free to explore the area to grab yourself some dinner – and don’t forget to ask your Adventure Leader for tips!

Day 2: New Delhi

If you’re an early riser, you can head down to Lodhi Gardens with your group to kick the day off with a game of ultimate frisbee! If you’d rather have a slight lie in, you might opt to join your group a little later and meet with a local from the area, who’ll chat to you about day-to-day life in Delhi. We’ll then rendezvous for our next unmissable experience – a visit to Aksardham, a beautiful Hindu temple. The afternoon is then yours to spend as you see fit. If you’d like, you can opt to join us to a pottery workshop at the Clay Company, where you’ll get an introduction to ceramics and a hands-on session at the wheel. Alternatively, you might want to explore Humayun’s Tomb, the first garden-tomb on the Indian subcontinent, or the Qutub Minar – a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Mehrauli area of Delhi.

Day 3: Varanasi

You’re up with the dawn chorus today, ready to jump on the train to your next stop – Varanasi! You’ll arrive in the early afternoon and transfer to your next accommodation to drop your bags. We’ll then take you to your next unmissable experience – what better way to greet Varanasi than with a Ghat boat tour, complete with the Ganga Aarti ceremony? After the ceremony, you’ll disembark back onto dry land, where you can grab yourself some dinner before turning in after a long day.

Day 4: Varanasi

Your second day in Varanasi starts on the water again, as you can opt to join your group for a sunrise boat tour to grab some truly spectacular views. On the way back, be sure to grab yourself a steaming cup of tulsi chai! In the mid-morning, you’ve got the option to join your group with a visit to the Sarnath Buddhist and Hindu Archaeological site. According to tradition, it was here that Buddha first began teaching his followers, and today the Dhamek Stupa marks the spot of his first lesson. Back in the city centre, you might join your group for a walk through the Old Market in search of the Blue Lassi Shop – famous for its delicious yoghurt drinks. This will be your last chance to explore Varanasi before we jump on the night train to Agra – to use your time wisely!

Day 5: Agra

After arriving in Agra this morning, you’ll transfer to your new accommodation. If you need some time at your leisure, you can rest up today. Otherwise, why not join us for an optional excursion this afternoon? You can opt to join us for a visit to Agra Fort and the Baby Taj for a glimpse of Agra’s spectacular architecture. If you’d like, this evening join your group for dinner and drinks at the fabulous Salt Café. You might want to take it easy, though – you’ve got an early start!

Day 6: Jaipur

Before we head off to Jaipur, it’s up early for a sunrise visit to the most famous site in India – the Taj Mahal! Explore this incredible complex as the sun rises, and be back in time to grab your private transfer to Jaipur. After checking in here, jump on the bus to Nahagarth Fort, which features one of the most amazing viewpoints from which to watch the sun set. If you’re hungry, join your group for dinner this evening.

Day 7: Jaipur

Are you an early riser? If so, you might want to capitalise on this with one of the most exciting options to start the day: a balloon safari! Alternatively, you might venture out for an early morning visit to the Govind Dev Temple, where you can attend a workshop to learn about local religious practices. Otherwise, wake up in your own time this morning and grab breakfast, before opting to visit the spectacular Amber Palace, which is built entirely of yellow and pink sandstone. This afternoon is yours to spend as you see fit. You might want to explore the City Palace and the next-door Hawa Mahal, the Jantar Mantar astronomical observatory, or get your fill of shopping at the Bapu Bazaar. After this, you can opt to meet your group for an early evening food court tour to grab some local delicacies, before exploring the nightlife that Jaipur has to offer.

Day 8: Jaipur & Jaisalmer

Another early start, as you’re up with the birds for another unmissable activity – a trip to the Monkey Temple! This temple is an incredible site that’s often a Hindu pilgrimage, and features incredible architecture, beautiful landscapes… and monkeys! For the rest of the morning, you can either spend it at your resting up, exploring the Pink City, or taking part in a fabulous dance class! This afternoon, we’ll transfer to Jaipur station, bound for the next stop on our India group tour: Jaisalmer!

Day 9: Jaisalmer

You’ll arrive in Jaisalmer this morning. You can head to a local hostel for a rest and to grab some breakfast, before opting to join us as we explore the fascinating Jaisalmer Fort. This amazing structure is 250 feet tall in places, and parts of it date back to the mid-1600s! You can then opt to head to a remarkable viewpoint in the local area – Gadsisar Lake! It’s a flying visit though, as we’re taking you into the Thar desert for your next unmissable activity – and arguably, the jewel of your India adventure tour. Transfer by jeep into the desert, where you’ll take part in a camel trek that leads you to the site of your camp. Here, you’ll have dinner al fresco, and set up your comfortable beds, ready for a night sleeping under the stars.

Day 10: Jodhpur

There’s no escaping the sunrise this morning, as it’ll wake you gently from your spot in the desert. After preparing a breakfast and packing up, you’ll head back to the city, ready to transfer to Jodhpur. After your private transfer arrives, you’ll check in to your next hostel and drop your things. We’ll then take you on tour to orientate yourself in the Blue City, where you’ll see landmarks like the Clock Tower and the fascinating Toorji Ka Jhalra – the ancient step well. This evening, feel free to join your group near Stepwell for a drink.

Day 11: Jodphur

Today’s a free day to spend as you see fit! If you’d like to join us for an optional activity, however, you might opt for: A cooking class, where you’ll learn about the history of Indian food and its place in wider culture. You’ll develop an appreciation for the flavours of true traditional Indian cuisine. A pulse-raising Flying Fox zip line experience! Whiz across the city and the fort, getting both incredible views and a real adrenaline rush. This evening, why not meet your group for a drink atop the hostel?

Day 12: Mumbai

Late morning today, you’ll fly to your final destination on the India group tour: Mumbai! You’ll spend the day transferring to your accommodation, arriving in the late afternoon – just in time for movie night! This evening, why not grab a view of the city from a roof top bar?

Day 13: Mumbai

If you’d like to learn more about local life in Mumbai, opt to join us this morning for a tour of the Dharavi Slum. You’ll also get the chance to visit the Dhobi Ghat Malaxmi – the largest outdoor laundry in the entire world! This afternoon, meet up with your group for an unmissable tour of Mumbai. Along the way, you’ll explore must-see sites like the Gateway of India and the Coloba District.
