Tour · 14 nights · with G Adventures
A 14-night small-group tour with G Adventures through northern India, from Delhi's city streets to a sunrise boat trip on the Ganges in Varanasi, mixing cultural sightseeing with village visits and an overnight train ride.
Highlights
Boat trip at sunrise and sunset on the Ganges River in Varanasi
Visit to the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort in Agra
Tour of Amber Fort and stepwells of Abhaneri in Rajasthan
Overnight sleeper train journey
Rural village cycling excursion and temple visits
This two-week tour by G Adventures charts a path through northern India, starting with Delhi’s hectic markets and historic monuments such as Jama Masjid and Chandni Chowk. After time in Jaipur with its Amber Fort and craftsmen’s workshops, the group heads to rural Rajasthan, staying in a village and cycling nearby before visiting the stepwells of Abhaneri.
Journeys
First time
Agra comes next with guided visits to the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort, both crowded but impossible to overlook. Orchha and Khajuraho offer relief with quieter palaces and temples, including famous erotic sculptures. The tour ends with two days in Varanasi, where at sunrise and sunset you'll board a small riverboat for a candlelit ceremony on the Ganges, a striking glimpse of India’s spiritual heart.
G Adventures leads this escorted small-group holiday. Travelling is mostly by private vehicles, local buses, trains—including an overnight sleeper—and internal flights. Practical realities of Indian travel are part of the fabric here, but these make the journey richer rather than easier.
