Amazing India - Golden Triangle, Tiger Spotting & Holi Celebrations -26 Feb 2026

Your Indian adventure kicks off in vibrant Delhi, where history comes alive at Gandhi’s memorials and bustling bazaars whisk you away on a thrilling rickshaw ride. In Agra, the magic begins with a moonlit view of the Taj Mahal from the tranquil Mehtab Bagh — and the next morning delivers the ultimate “wow” moment: sunrise over the Taj, its white marble glowing in gold. Journeying to Jaipur, you’ll wander the ghost city of Fatehpur Sikri before diving into the Pink City’s treasures: the majestic Amber Fort with its shimmering Mirror Palace, the breezy Palace of Winds with 953 windows, and the celestial marvels of Jantar Mantar. Then, it’s time to splash into Holi — India’s most colourful festival — before trading cityscapes for safaris in Ranthambore, where you’ll set out on thrilling jungle rides to spot tigers, crocs, and exotic birdlife. The adventure wraps up back in Delhi with a peaceful evening at the beautiful Gurdwara Bangla Sahib, leaving you with memories as vibrant as Holi itself.
