This trip includes pick up. We can pick you up from the airport or your hotel.
Welcome to Delhi, the nation’s capital, a vibrant city with an unbelievable amount of history! Your tour guide will meet you at the airport, and then you will transfer to your hotel. Depending on your arrival time and how tired you are, the tour guide will plan the rest of the day with you accordingly, which could include some sightseeing, plus a welcome dinner.
Today, you can do any of the City Tours or Slum Tours, which we do. We suggest visiting Sanjay Colony, a small slum built on 25 acres of land located in the south of Delhi near the Baha'i Lotus Temple and the ISKCON temple. Learn about the working and residential life and witness how, despite the challenging living conditions, it remains an area charged with positive energy and strong community. You will also learn about the NGO programs directly supported by your visit.
In the afternoon we suggest doing some more traditional sightseeing of your choice, such as visiting India Gate, Qutub Minar, Humayun’s tomb, Agrasen ki Baoli (a stepwell) and Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, a Sikh temple and one of the largest community kitchens in India which feeds more than 10,000 people per day. In the evening, if you still have the energy, you can explore old Delhi and go on our popular food tour if you wish!
We’ll leave Delhi in the morning by car, arrive in Jaipur (5 hrs) by the afternoon, and check in to our hotel. We will then go on an orientation walk around Jaipur, also known as the Pink City of India because it feels like every building within the historic centre is made and painted of pink terracotta colour.
Later in the afternoon, we will head to Nahargarh Fort for the stunning sunset view of the Pink City
Today we will go on a full day tour of Jaipur. In the morning, we will visit Amber Fort with its magnificent views, and in the afternoon we will continue to explore the rest of the city, such as Hawa Mahal, City Palace and Jantar Mantar, and Bapu Bazaar if you wish to do some shopping. There’s also the option to see a Bollywood film at the famous Raj Mandir cinema.
In the morning, we’ll drive to Agra, home of the Taj Mahal and the Magnificent Agra Fort. On the way, there is the option to visit Fatehpur Sikri fort and Abhaneri Chand Baori, one of the largest stepwells in the world, where you descend many steps before reaching the water level.
We will arrive in Agra in the afternoon, where we’ll check into a family-run guest house; afterwards, we’ll explore Mehtab Bagh, a small 22-acre Persian-style garden located next to the Yamuna River, offering a very unique view of the Taj Mahal. Later, we’ll visit the massive Agra Fort, built with red sandstone. Head back to the hotel in the evening after dinner. If you are not tired, have a drink on the hotel’s rooftop overlooking the Taj!
Today we’ll wake up early to see the Taj Mahal at sunrise- the best time to visit. We come back to our guest house to have a late breakfast and then check out and drive to Delhi.
On the way, we will stop at a small village, where you will gain an understanding of how the majority of India’s population lives, with its unique traditions and customs. We will also visit one of our Rural Community Projects to see how you can support this cause by taking a tour with us. We’ll arrive in Delhi in the evening, check into your hotel, and you probably won’t have much energy to do anything else!
