The journey then shifts gears in Ranthambore National Park, where morning and afternoon game drives offer opportunities to spot the elusive tiger among dry forest and rocky outcrops. Travellers continue to Agra for the Taj Mahal, best viewed at Mehtab Bagh across the river, and the formidable Agra Fort. The tour finishes with Varanasi’s spiritual rhythms along the Ganges and a visit to Sarnath, where the Buddha first taught.

The itinerary balances guided visits with brief spells of independent time, making for a steady, measured pace of travel.
