Tour · 27 nights · with G Adventures
G Adventures small-group tour covering India from the Taj Mahal and Jaipur in the north to Goa's beaches and backwaters in the south over 27 nights, mixing railway journeys, homestays and local markets.
Highlights
Visit to the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort
Boat ride on Lake Pichola, Udaipur
Sunrise at Savitri Temple
Overnight train journeys on three nights
Alleppy backwaters ferry cruise and homestay
Starting in Delhi, this G Adventures small-group tour leads you through the Golden Triangle, taking in the Taj Mahal and the Amber Fort near Jaipur, where a morning cycle ride or a visit to the City Palace can fill a few free hours. Udaipur follows, notable for its lakeside setting and boat trips on Lake Pichola, before the route swings south through the chaos of Mumbai’s streets.
Journeys
First time
The tour tips into quieter rhythms with time on the canals of Alleppey’s backwaters and a night in a homestay, contrasting with evenings dancing in Goa or Kochi. Along the way, village walks, temple sunrises, and market visits offer a sense of place that goes beyond the usual highlights, while overnight train journeys provide a pause between busy days. The mix of basic trains, local buses and private vehicles reminds you this is a genuine passage through India rather than a polished package.
Local guides join the group to add context, with a Chief Experience Officer there to take out the usual headaches of Indian travel. There’s plenty of freedom to add in set-piece sights or linger at a street café. It’s neither a whirlwind nor a slow crawl, but a steady passage from north to south that covers many sides of India’s enormous and varied landscape.
