About the trip

This escorted solo journey with Riviera Travel traces a path from the vibrant capital of New Delhi through the Golden Triangle to the cooler climes of Shimla in the Himalayas. It starts with the city’s bustling Old and New Delhi districts, the latter featuring the India Gate and the Parliament building, before shifting focus to the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort, both monuments of Mughal grandeur.

The route continues to Fatehpur Sikri, an ancient abandoned city, then to Ranthambore National Park, where early safari drives bring chances to spot tigers and other wildlife amidst rolling hills and lakes. The tour moves on to Jaipur’s Pink City, its observatory with large sundials, and the hilltop Amber Fort, followed by a visit to the frescos of Alsisar in rural Rajasthan.

After time in New Delhi, travellers board the narrow-gauge railway to Shimla, once the British summer capital. Here the grand Viceregal Lodge offers a glimpse into colonial life, and a free day invites leisurely walks or potential hill treks. The trip concludes with a return to Delhi for the flight home.
