North & South India History & Culture Tour
Make the most of your trip to India on this grand tour, including the iconic Golden Triangle route the highlights of Karnataka and Kerala states in South India.
You’ll tour Old Delhi in the company of former street children, who will introduce you to the India that few travellers get to see. You’ll visit the stunning Taj Mahal and head off on two safaris in Ranthambore National Park in search of tigers. In Jaipur you’ll discover the Amber Fort and the magnificent City Palace, and in Karnataka, tour a coffee plantation and explore fascinating temple towns. The pace slows as you enjoy a cruise on Kerala’s idyllic palm-fringed lakes and lagoons. And your tour ends with a relaxing stay at a spa hotel located on a beautiful stretch of beach in Kovalam.
