Next comes Orchha, a quieter town with palaces and temples, where free time lets you roam away from the usual crowds. Then an overnight sleeper train carries you to Varanasi. Here the Ganges becomes the focus with boat rides at sunrise and sunset, revealing the temples and ghats where daily rituals unfold quietly against a sprawling cityscape.
Throughout, the Chief Experience Officer manages the details and local guides bring history and culture into sharper focus. Travel includes trains, tuk-tuks and cycle rickshaws, combining pace with moments to simply absorb a landscape far removed from usual British itineraries.
