North India in Style

Enjoy India's highlights in comfort

This tour combines the well-known cities of Delhi, Jaipur and Agra with lesser-known but equally attractive places off the beaten track.

You stay in heritage properties which are widely diverse in their architecture, location and atmosphere, but they all offer a unique experience.

From the foothills of the Himalayas to the deserts of Rajasthan, this is a remarkable journey that will provide you with a lifetime of memories.

"I loved the rafting trip down the Ganges floating past temples, ashrams and yoga centres. The game rides in Corbett were a highlight too."
