Essential Information

Wondering if this trip is right for you?
We’re here to help! If you have any questions about the trip’s difficulty level, feel free to reach out—we’ll ensure you have all the details you need.

An Unforgettable Itinerary
Designed for curious and adventurous travelers, this journey takes you through the cultural and historical wonders of northern India. Expect an action-packed schedule with early starts, long but rewarding days, and immersive experiences. India’s energy can be intense, with vibrant streets and warm temperatures, but you’ll also find moments of tranquility. One thing is certain—you’ll return home with incredible stories and lasting memories.

Travel Times & Flexibility
The travel times listed in the itinerary refer to driving durations and don’t account for stops along the way. Road conditions, traffic, and weather—especially during December and January—can sometimes lead to longer journeys. Severe fog during these months may also impact train schedules. In such cases, we’ll arrange a comfortable private bus. If neither bus nor flight travel is possible, we have an exciting alternative itinerary featuring Bharatpur, Deeg Palace, and Mathura instead of Varanasi.

Monument Access & Conservation
India’s iconic landmarks, including the Taj Mahal, are preserved by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). Occasionally, maintenance or restoration work may be in progress at sites we visit. ASI does not provide advance notice of such projects, but rest assured, every site we visit will still hold its breathtaking charm.

Festivals: A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience
For select departures, you may have the unique opportunity to witness India’s most famous festivals, Holi and Diwali. These vibrant celebrations differ by region, and while we always strive to include festival experiences, the nature of these events can vary. No matter what, expect an atmosphere full of color, culture, and unforgettable moments.

Accessibility & Comfort
While this trip is generally not recommended for travelers with reduced mobility, we know that every adventurer is different. If you’re an experienced traveler on similar journeys, get in touch with us—we’d love to discuss how we can accommodate your needs.
