You will travel by express train into Rajasthan and on to its capital, Jaipur, today. Here, traditionally dressed Rajput men wearing colourful turbans and sporting magnificent moustaches will make their way through crowded streets packed with cars, camel carts, rickshaws, trucks, and bicycles. You will also find bustling, brightly colored bazaars filled with handcrafted textiles, folk art, and semiprecious stones, the local specialty. You will walk amidst the wonderful madness and discover the city for yourself. Jaipur is a favorite among travelers.
(Driving Time: Approx 5 hours)
Today you will journey across the plains of Rajasthan by private vehicle to reach Agra. Agra is home to one of the world's most recognizable monuments, the Taj Mahal. You will also visit the nearby Agra Fort - a huge complex built originally as a military structure of red sandstone by Akbar in 1565, and partially converted into a palace during the time of Shah Jahan.
(Driving Time: Approx 3.5 hours)
From the majestic Taj, you will travel by express train to Madhya Pradesh. Upon arrival in Jhansi, you will be collected by automatic rickshaws and carried through traditional rural Indian landscapes to reach the beautiful town of Orchha. Here you will have the opportunity to uncover a very different side of India (approximately 45 minutes). You will make a stop at Taragram on the way to Orchha, one of our Responsible Tourism projects. Taragram is a paper making factory that enables local tribal women to work outside the realm usually afforded to them. The paper is crafted from wood pulp and recycled clothing. As the capital of Bundela, it was bestowed with a myriad of beautiful temples and palaces that belie its insignificant size. This evening enjoy the Ram Raja Temple puja (prayer) ceremony
(Driving Time: Approx 3 hours)
Today you will explore Khajuraho, a place famed for its incredible 1000 year old temples, untouched by foreign invaders for centuries thanks to Khajuraho’s remote location, far from any major historical or modern centres. You will go on a tour of the western temple complex. You will also have the opportunity to see a performance at the famous classical dance festival that occurs here. Before leaving the town you will visit the home of a local Hindu family, where you will enjoy a home cooked meal and be immersed in the life of middleclass Indians.
(Flight Duration: Approx 1.5 hours)
You will have a free morning to explore Varanasi. You may like to wander through the ghats, or do some last minute shopping in the incredible bazaars. You will then fly to Delhi, where your adventure will come to an end. There will be an (optional) group farewell dinner organized for those interested. Hauz Khas village is a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of downtown a chic artistic enclave set right next to the remnants of a historical site.
