About the tour
Spend 13 days exploring colorful India on this round-trip journey from Delhi. We explore the country's historic temples and palaces and visit the wild Ranthambore National Park. Our trip is enhanced by luxurious hotel accommodations and travel aboard some of the country's most impressive trains. Begin in Delhi, where you board the Shatabdi Express, which travels to Shimla. In Shimla, a guided tour introduces us to the colonial past of this city in Northern India. After a day to explore at leisure, we return to Delhi to explore both the Old and New parts of town, immersing ourselves in "real" India. From Delhi, we board Gatimaan Express and feel the excitement come to a pinnacle as we head toward the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri, a 16th-century city constructed of red sandstone. The tour wraps up as we try to spot wild Bengal Tigers in Ranthambore National Park and explore the "pink city" of Jaipur. The contrasts of India are displayed beautifully on this tour.
