An Invitation to India

This nine-night escorted tour by Just You starts in Delhi, where colonial-era landmarks like India Gate sit alongside the spice-scented lanes of Old Delhi’s walled city. A cycle rickshaw ride weaves through bustling bazaars, giving a lively snapshot of everyday life. From there it’s south to Agra, with a morning dedicated to the Taj Mahal’s white marble calm, contrasted by a visit to Sheroes Hangout Café, a social enterprise run by acid attack survivors.

Next comes Ranthambore National Park, where game drives move through forest spotted with birds and delicate waterfalls in search of tigers or leopards – rare and rewarding if the luck is with you. The tour finishes with two days in Jaipur, the Pink City, featuring Amber Fort’s hilltop fortifications and the spice-scented Chaandpol Bazaar. A cookery demonstration with a local family offers a window into everyday Rajasthan life. The final morning in Jaipur is free before returning to Delhi for the flight home.
