Dear Serious Traveler,

A passage to India is one of life’s great delights! Discover the mystical beauty of one of the world’s great civilizations, India—palaces built on dreams, fortress cities concealing ancient treasures, native tribes with centuries old traditions. Here is the trip for which you have been waiting! As we journey through some of North India’s most beloved sites, we will explore ancient cultures, and UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Start in India’s dynamic capital, New Delhi, then fly to see the exquisitely carved temples of Khajuraho. On New Year’s Eve travel by train to Agra, for a memorable New Year’s Day visit of the Taj Mahal. Like a poem in white marble, she has been described as “a tear-drop wrung from the sorrowing heart of the emperor.” En route to the pink city of Jaipur, we’ll stop at the mysteriously abandoned city of Fatehphur Sikri.

Then on to West Bengal—to Kolkata, the City of Joy, and the spectacular scenery and tranquility of Darjeeling and its Himalayan vistas. Our journey will take us by jeep safari to view Mt. Everest, by bicycle rickshaw through the lanes of Agra, and by train through fascinating Himalayan landscapes.

Unleash your adventurous spirit and join us in vibrant, exotic India. Expertly guided, with luxury hotels, breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. This trip has it all!

We are here to help you plan a trip of a lifetime, so please give Sarah or me a call.
