India Snapshot – 6 Day Tour

This morning you'll jump straight on the city’s metro with your guide and make your way to Jama Masjid, the city’s oldest mosque. Ready your appetite, because you’re about to taste your way through Old Delhi’s legendary street food scene. Wander through tangled alleyways and try breakfast favourites like Bedmi Poori with potato curry, crispy jalebi, or hot paratha straight from the pan. Keep your eyes peeled for the local chai wallah, pouring steaming cups of sweet, spiced tea.

Next, you'll hop aboard a rickshaw (similar to Tuk-Tuks) and weave through Chandni Chowk, one of the oldest and busiest markets in the city. Lose yourself in the chaos of spice-scented backstreets and visit Khari Baoli, the largest open-air spice market in Asia. While Hinduism is the dominant religion here, Delhi is also home to a significant Sikh community. You’ll learn more about their traditions over a vegetarian lunch at a local Sikh temple, and see the impressive community kitchen where thousands of free meals are prepared daily.

This evening, your guide will lead you to a local restaurant for an indulgent Mughlai dinner to top off a big day exploring Delhi.

After breakfast, jump aboard a local train for an air-conditioned ride to Agra. Known worldwide for the iconic Taj Mahal, Agra is a city rich in Mughal history, filled with lush gardens and impressive architecture. Upon arrival, you'll visit the impressive Agra Fort. Step inside its imposing red sandstone walls to discover grand courtyards, throne rooms, intricate mosques, and sweeping views across the city.

After exploring Agra Fort, check in to your hotel and take some time to relax before heading out to visit the iconic Taj Mahal at sunset. Watch as the warm evening light illuminates the white marble monument, creating a magical atmosphere and a memorable way to experience one of India’s most famous landmarks.

In the evening, enjoy dinner at Sheroes Hangout, a vegetarian and vegan café with a powerful purpose. This inspiring social enterprise is run by women who are survivors of acid attacks, offering them employment, opportunities, and a welcoming space to share their stories.

This evening, step into the glitz and drama of Indian cinema with a Bollywood blockbuster at the spectacular Raj Mandir Cinema – a Jaipur landmark. Expect a whirlwind of action, romance, drama, and music (sometimes all at once) in one of the most opulent theatres in the country. Your leader will also have plenty of great dinner recommendations to round out your night.

You’ll also stop to admire the Palace of the Winds, a stunning red and pink sandstone masterpiece and one of Jaipur’s most recognisable landmarks.

Next, hop into Tuk Tuks and wind your way up to Galta-Ji, better known as the Monkey Temple.
