First time

Tour · 18 nights · with Travelsphere
Travelsphere’s escorted tour traces a route through India’s north and Rajasthan, from Delhi’s bazaars to tigers in Ranthambore and palace life in Udaipur, finishing with a three-night stay on Goa’s coastline.
Highlights
Sunrise visit to the Taj Mahal
Two safaris in Ranthambore National Park
Rickshaw ride through Delhi’s Chandni Chowk
Evening cruise on Pichola Lake in Udaipur
Cooking dinner with a local family in Jaipur
This 18-night escorted tour with Travelsphere begins in Delhi, where a rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk and the early Mughal architecture of Humayun’s Tomb set the tone. Then it’s off to Amritsar, home to the Golden Temple, where the polished marble and the soft glow of gold leaf create a quietly reverent atmosphere.
Journeys
First time
The itinerary moves south to Agra for a sunrise visit to the Taj Mahal, followed by time in Ranthambore National Park with at least a couple of chances to spot its famous tigers—or sloth bears if luck runs out. Jaipur and Jodhpur bring hilltop forts and marble cenotaphs, while Udaipur offers an evening cruise on Pichola Lake past a sandstone palace seemingly afloat on water.
After a return to Delhi, there’s a three-night stretch in Goa to wind down. Here, the choice is yours whether to dabble in the local café scene, revisit colonial churches, or simply take in the beach. It all proceeds at a steady pace, with a mix of early starts and free afternoons that leaves room for both new sights and quiet moments away from the group.
