Rickshaw ride through Old Delhi markets
Ganges boat trip at sunrise in Varanasi
Jeep safari in Chitwan National Park
Panoramic Himalayan views from Nagarkot
Travelsphere's escorted tour begins with a few days in Delhi, where touring cuts between the colonial boulevards of New Delhi and the cramped streets of Old Delhi, accompanied by guides who reveal a side of the city rarely seen by visitors. From there, the itinerary moves south to Agra for a dawn visit to the Taj Mahal and a closer look at Mughal architecture at the Agra Fort and Baby Taj.
Journeys
First time
The tour continues across Uttar Pradesh to Varanasi, where early mornings by the River Ganges capture the spiritual rituals performed by Hindu pilgrims. After a flight to Nepal’s Kathmandu, the journey turns to hill towns and villages, with visits to Boudhanath Stupa, Patan Durbar Square, and lively cultural experiences including singing bowls and traditional painting. Towards the end, time in Chitwan National Park is spent spotting wildlife such as rhinos and tigers on jeep safaris and birdwatching, before the final days in Nagarkot offer Himalayan mountain views without the crowds.
