Itinerary

Arrive in Delhi early in the morning and transfer to your prebooked hotel. We take the metro, which brings us closer to the everyday life of this mega city, to the Akshar Dham Temple. This beautifully carved stone temple stands in the middle of lush, green gardens. The trip to Akshar Dham is a deep insight into the Hindu religion. After a walk through the temple complex, we take a boat trip in an artificial canal that lies beneath the huge temple complex. Later, we go to visit Qutab Minar - the largest stone tower in India and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Meals: Breakfast & dinner included

We explore some of the many markets in the Chandni Chowk district of Old Delhi on foot. Our sense of smell is put to the test in the Khari Baloi spice market. In the so-called "bread alley" we try freshly baked "paranthas", unleavened flatbreads with various fillings. Our tour takes us to a Jain temple, the Sheesh Ganj Gurudwara Sikh temple and the Friday Mosque. After experiencing the exoticism of Old Delhi in abundance, another Indian experience awaits us: we visit the crowded New Delhi train station. We walk from the Ajmeri Gate (eastern entrance) to the Paharganj (western entrance) and become part of the endlessly flowing human wave.

Meals: Breakfast & dinner included

Early morning train journey to Agra. Upon your arrival drive to Taj Ganj area, we visit the Taj Mahal, a highlight in the life of every traveller, even if you visit it repeatedly, followed by the Red Fort. After your sightseeing tour, you stroll through local markets and stroll through some “Petha” shops with their delicious pumpkin sweets. Agra is also known for its shoe manufacturing. We visit a factory to see how the shoes are produced. Later, we visit a "lehenga shop," where we watch seamstresses sewing Indian wedding dresses.

Meals: Breakfast & dinner included

After breakfast, we drive to Jaipur (230 km, approx. 6 hours). On the way, we visit Fathephur Sikri, the abandoned capital of Akbar, built from red sandstone. Afterwards, we stop in Abherni, a small village known for its stepwells.

Meals: Breakfast & dinner included
