Highlights of Northern India Holiday

Overview
Highlights of Northern India Holiday tour takes you to the best of Northern India in a short itinerary, from the bustling and fast-developing capital of Delhi to the superb 'pink city' of Jaipur where the Palace of the Winds and the magnificent Amber Palace are testaments to the great Moghul Empire. Ranthambore Tiger Reserve is home to a huge variety of birds, and deer, crocodiles and tigers are not an uncommon sight. Agra and the incredible Taj Mahal are not to be missed on any visit to India and fully live up to expectations.

For many, however, Varanasi is the city that lingers longest in the memory. Located on the River Ganges, it is one of the four most sacred cities in India where holy men, cows and cycle rickshaws fight for space in the lanes leading to the river. Train rides are an integral part of Indian life and provide an excellent chance to meet the people and sample some of the food for which India is famous. During the summer the itinerary is altered and we visit Sariska Tiger Reserve, a haven for deer, buffalo, leopard and abundant birdlife.
