Cultural India Unmatched
Vibrant hues of saffron, red, orange and teal saris and turbans sweep through city streets, ancient alleyways and rural farmland, all recounting centuries-old stories amidst ancient structures and traditions. This is India as you’ve never seen it before – as you experience their cultures, you will be greeted with a gentleness of spirit and gracious old-world grandeur. Search the former hunting grounds of royals amidst crumbling monuments and forts for the magnificent wild tiger.
The famous Golden Triangle of India features three of the most beautiful and captivating cities of the country: Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. We’ve added a touch of tiger viewing to make this an unmatched experience in culture and wildlife. Begin with infamous Delhi and its old and new quarters teeming with undiscovered delights. Mosques and forts abound and its easy to feel dwarfed by their majesty and beauty. Pay attention to the details in the architecture and the faces of those around you. Stand in awe of the ultimate expression of devotion as you gaze upon Agra’s iconic Taj Mahal and watch the mausoleum take on various hues as the day’s sun dances around it. Traffic takes on new meaning as you travel to Bharatpur and compete with cars, rickshaws, people and livestock that offer a parade of cultural education. Hop on the Jan Shatabdi Express for a train journey to Ranthambhore National Park, one of the best places to see tigers in the wild. Your stay will include an immersion into the forest to spot these stunning cats. Lastly, visit the “Pink City” of Jaipur and its atmosphere of aristocracy and architecture. Your brief return to Delhi prepares you for the task of returning home, far better for the glimpse you’ve just had of magical and colorful India.
You may want to accept India’s invitation to stay and explore further on the extension to Rajputana beginning with Pushkar along the sacred and picturesque banks of the lake. Enjoy a camel ride through the local bazaar before retiring to your tented camp nearby. Jodphur is next with its powerful fort and exploration of local cultures and peoples. Udaipur beckons next, rich in history and dedicated temples. And if you must, return home with a new appreciation for this land.
