India Group Tour Packages

Your India Group Tour Package begins the moment your flight lands at Indira Gandhi International Airport. Our representative will be waiting at the arrivals gate — name board in hand, private AC vehicle ready — to transfer your group directly to your hotel.

Delhi is one of the world's truly great cities. A place where Mughal emperors once ruled the wealthiest empire on earth, where a 13th-century UNESCO minaret stands minutes from a modern metro station, and where the energy of 20 million people pulses through every lane and bazaar.

Your Delhi sightseeing covers:

Jama Masjid — Shah Jahan's magnificent 17th-century mosque, one of Asia's largest, capable of holding 25,000 worshippers at once. Its vast sandstone courtyard, flanked by twin 40-metre minarets above the rooftops of Old Delhi, is one of the most atmospheric spaces in the subcontinent

Chandni Chowk & Spice Market — board a rickshaw and enter the trading heart of Mughal India. The lanes of Chandni Chowk have been lined with merchants for 350 years. Sacks of crimson chilli, towers of turmeric, and the sharp perfume of cardamom fill Asia's oldest spice market

Raj Ghat — the serene black marble memorial marking the cremation site of Mahatma Gandhi — the man who dismantled the British Empire in India without raising a weapon

Humayun's Tomb — the stunning 1570 garden mausoleum that directly inspired the Taj Mahal. A UNESCO World Heritage Site that most visitors are completely unprepared for — it is breathtaking

India Gate — New Delhi's iconic 52-metre war memorial at the heart of the capital's grand ceremonial boulevard

Qutub Minar — the world's tallest brick minaret, built in the early 13th century, rising 73 metres above the Delhi skyline. Every surface covered in intricate Arabic calligraphy — a UNESCO World Heritage Site

Bangla Sahib Gurudwara — one of Delhi's most important Sikh temples, famous for its golden dome and the langar — the free community kitchen that feeds thousands every single day, without exception, to anyone who arrives

Overnight in Delhi | Breakfast included

Jaipur was founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II — one of India's greatest astronomers and military strategists — and designed from scratch as a perfectly planned royal city. It earned the name "The Pink City" in 1876 when the entire old city was painted rose-coloured to welcome the Prince of Wales, and has remained that colour ever since.

Your Jaipur sightseeing covers:

Amber Fort — perched dramatically above Maota Lake on the Aravalli Hills, this 16th-century Rajput fortress is Jaipur's crown jewel. Its Sheesh Mahal — the Hall of Mirrors — is among the most dazzling interiors anywhere in India, its ceiling encrusted with thousands of mirror pieces that transform a single candle flame into what appears to be a sky full of stars

Panna Meena Kund — a stunning 16th-century stepwell near Amber Fort with 3,500 geometrically patterned steps descending to the waterline. One of Rajasthan's most photogenic and most undervisited monuments

Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds) — Jaipur's most iconic image — a five-storey honeycomb facade of 953 intricately latticed sandstone windows, built in 1799 so royal women could observe street festivals without being seen

Jal Mahal (Water Palace) — the enchanting 18th-century palace that appears to float in the centre of Man Sagar Lake — a surreal image that captures something essential about Rajasthan

Jantar Mantar — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world's most extraordinary astronomical observatories. Built in 1734 by Maharaja Jai Singh II, its stone instruments — some standing 27 metres tall — calculated solar time to within 2 seconds of accuracy

City Palace — the magnificent royal complex still partially home to the Maharaja of Jaipur's family today. Its museums hold a world-class collection of royal costumes, manuscripts, weapons, and Mughal-era artefacts

Galta Ji Temple (Monkey Temple) — set in the Aravalli Hills outside Jaipur, this ancient Hindu pilgrimage site features sacred kunds fed by natural springs, surrounded by hundreds of resident monkeys — one of Rajasthan's most unusual and most memorable experiences

Jal Mahal (Water Palace) — the enchanting 18th-century palace that appears to float in the centre of Man Sagar Lake — a surreal image that captures something essential about Rajasthan's architectural imagination

Jantar Mantar — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world's most extraordinary pre-telescopic astronomical observatories. Built in 1734 by Maharaja Jai Singh II, its stone instruments — some standing 27 metres tall — calculated solar time to within 2 seconds of accuracy

City Palace — the magnificent royal complex at the heart of Jaipur's walled city, still partially home to the Maharaja's family. Its museums hold a world-class collection of royal costumes, manuscripts, weapons, and Mughal-era artefacts

Galta Ji Temple (Monkey Temple) — set in the Aravalli Hills outside Jaipur, this ancient Hindu pilgrimage site features sacred kunds (water tanks) fed by natural springs, surrounded by hundreds of resident monkeys. It is one of Rajasthan's most unusual and most memorable experiences

Overnight in Jaipur | Breakfast included

After breakfast, your group checks out and begins the drive to Agra — with two extraordinary stops along the way that most tours skip entirely.

Chand Baoli Stepwell, Abhaneri — one of the largest and most geometrically perfect stepwells in India, dating to the 9th century. Its 3,500 symmetrical steps descend 20 metres to the waterline in a breathtaking inverted pyramid of ancient engineering. Most travellers drive past it. Your group will stop.

Fatehpur Sikri — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most haunting places in all of India. Built by Emperor Akbar in the late 16th century as a brand-new Mughal capital, it was abandoned after only 14 years — perfectly preserved and almost completely empty ever since. Walking through its palaces, courts, and mosques exactly as Akbar left them in 1585 is one of the most extraordinary experiences in the subcontinent

On arrival in Agra, check in to your hotel and relax.

Overnight in Agra | Breakfast included

Set your alarm. This is the morning your India Group Tour Package reaches its most iconic moment.

Taj Mahal at Sunrise — your guide will bring your group to the Taj Mahal gates before sunrise. In the early morning stillness, with almost no one else around, you will watch the Taj Mahal's white marble shift from pale grey through warm gold to brilliant white as the sun rises above the Yamuna River. Built by Emperor Shah Jahan between 1632 and 1653 as an eternal monument to his wife Mumtaz Mahal, this UNESCO World Heritage Site remains — nearly four centuries later — the most universally admired building on earth

After the Taj Mahal, return to the hotel for breakfast, then continue to:

Agra Fort — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the red sandstone seat of the Mughal Empire. Its walls stretch nearly 2.5 kilometres around palaces, mosques, audience halls, and gardens built by three successive emperors. From the Musamman Burj tower — where Shah Jahan spent his final imprisoned years — you can see the Taj Mahal exactly as he did. One of the most quietly devastating views in India

Itimad-ud-Daulah (Baby Taj) — the first Mughal monument built entirely in white marble and the first to use pietra dura inlay — the technique later perfected in the Taj Mahal. Smaller, quieter, and extraordinarily beautiful

Important Note: The Taj Mahal is closed every Friday for tourists.

Overnight in Agra | Breakfast included

After breakfast, your group drives from Agra to Orchha — approximately 4 hours south through the landscapes of Madhya Pradesh — and into one of the most remarkably well-preserved and least-visited medieval cities in all of India.

Orchha was the capital of the Bundela Rajput kingdom from the 16th to the 18th centuries. When the Bundela kings eventually moved their capital, they left Orchha behind — and it has remained almost exactly as they left it ever since. Today the town sits surrounded by its ancient palaces, temples, and cenotaphs in a state of extraordinary, unhurried preservation that more famous destinations in India simply cannot offer.

Your Orchha sightseeing covers:

Orchha Fort Complex — a sprawling riverside fortress containing three spectacular palaces: the Raj Mahal, with its original Rajput murals still covering the walls and ceilings; the Jahangir Mahal, built to honour a visit by the Mughal Emperor himself; and the Rai Praveen Mahal, the intimate palace of a celebrated poet-musician of the Bundela court

Chaturbhuj Temple — one of the most unusual temples in India, built in the form of a medieval fort rather than a traditional temple tower. It was originally constructed to house a statue of Lord Ram brought by Queen Ganesh Kunwari from Ayodhya — and the story of why that statue ended up in a different temple instead is one of Orchha's most extraordinary historical tales

Ram Raja Temple — the only temple in India where Lord Ram is worshipped as a king rather than a deity, with full royal honours including a ceremonial guard of honour. The story of how this came to be is one of the most charming and unexpected in all of Indian religious history

Orchha Cenotaphs (Chhatris) — a row of beautiful riverside memorial domes erected for the Bundela kings on the banks of the Betwa River. Their reflections in the water at dusk create one of the most photogenic scenes in Central India

Overnight in Orchha | Breakfast included

After breakfast, your group drives from Orchha to Khajuraho — approximately 3 hours — arriving at one of India's most extraordinary and most unexpected UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Built between the 9th and 11th centuries by the Chandela dynasty, the Khajuraho temples are world-famous for their extraordinary sculptural programme — but the reality of the site goes far beyond its most famous association. These are masterpieces of medieval Hindu and Jain architecture — soaring stone towers covered from base to spire in thousands of intricately carved figures depicting every aspect of human life, from the celestial to the philosophical to the erotic. They represent a complete artistic and spiritual vision of the universe, executed in warm sandstone with a precision and beauty that has not been surpassed in a thousand years.

Western Group of Temples — the largest and most impressive cluster, including the Kandariya Mahadeva Temple — the tallest and most elaborately sculpted of all the Khajuraho temples, rising 31 metres above the plain

Eastern Group of Temples — a quieter cluster of Hindu and Jain temples set among narrow village lanes, offering a more intimate experience of Khajuraho away from the main crowds

Your guide will bring the full context, history, and meaning of Khajuraho to life — transforming what could be a confusing site into one of the most memorable highlights of the entire India Group Tour Package

Overnight in Khajuraho | Breakfast included

After breakfast, your group will fly from Khajuraho to Varanasi — the oldest continuously inhabited city on earth and one of the most profound travel destinations anywhere in the world.

Varanasi has been continuously occupied for over 3,000 years. It is the holiest city in Hinduism — the city where Hindus believe dying guarantees moksha, liberation from the endless cycle of rebirth. Every day, thousands of pilgrims arrive to bathe in the River Ganges, to pray at its ancient ghats, and to cremate their dead on its riverbanks. The river, the fire, the chanting, and the extraordinary human reality of the ghats create an atmosphere unlike anything else on earth.

On arrival in Varanasi, check in to your hotel. In the evening, your guide will take your group to witness the Ganga Aarti — the nightly fire ceremony on the ghats of Varanasi, where priests perform an elaborate ritual of brass lamps, incense, conch shells, and Sanskrit chanting as the River Ganges is worshipped at dusk. It is one of the most visually spectacular and most spiritually charged ceremonies in all of India.

Overnight in Varanasi | Breakfast included

This is the day that completes your India Group Tour Package — and the day that most travellers remember most clearly, years later.

Sunrise Boat Ride on the Ganges — before sunrise, your group will board a private boat on the River Ganges and drift slowly past the ancient ghats as Varanasi wakes up around you. Pilgrims bathing in the sacred water. Priests performing morning puja rituals on the steps. Smoke rising from the cremation ghats where bodies have been burned continuously for 3,000 years. The whole vast, ancient, overwhelming reality of Varanasi — seen from the water, in the first light of day. Nothing prepares you for it. Nothing in India, and perhaps nothing in the world, compares to it.

After breakfast, your guide will take your group to Sarnath — the UNESCO Buddhist archaeological site 10 kilometres from Varanasi where the Buddha gave his very first sermon after attaining enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. The Dhamek Stupa, the ruins of the ancient monastery, and the Sarnath Museum — which houses the Lion Capital of Ashoka, now the national emblem of India — contain some of the most important Buddhist artefacts anywhere in the world

In the afternoon, explore Varanasi's famous Banarasi silk workshops — hand-woven with real gold and silver thread using techniques unchanged since the Mughal era, and regarded as among the finest textile craft in the world

In the evening, witness the Ganga Aarti one final time — now that you know the city, the ceremony will mean something entirely different

Overnight in Varanasi | Breakfast included

After a final breakfast in Varanasi, your group will transfer to Varanasi Airport for the flight back to Delhi.

On arrival in Delhi, our representative will transfer your group to Delhi Airport or your hotel for your onward international journey.

Your India Group Tour Package is complete — 10 days, 6 cities, 5 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the greatest monument on earth, the world's oldest living city, and experiences that will stay with every member of your group for the rest of their lives.

Tour ends in Delhi. Airport transfer included.
