Top Destinations in North India
Delhi
Delhi is India's capital and a city of two halves. Old Delhi – the heart of India between the 17th and 19th centuries – is a bustling and crowded medieval district of mosques, majestic forts and crumbling monuments.
Agra
The former Mughal capital of India, Agra is one of the largest cities in Uttar Pradesh and is dominated by three of the country’s most magnificent buildings – Agra Fort and the world renowned Taj Mahal.
Varanasi
Principally associated with Hinduism, Varanasi is considered holy by Jains and was also visited by Buddha during his lifetime. Come here for temples and palaces, narrow alleyways & crowded waterfront ghats.
Shimla
India’s iconic hill station, Shimla has retained much of its Victorian charm and occupies a wonderful position on the edge of the Himalayan foothills. It is known for the century old Kalka-Shimla narrow gauge train.
Rishikesh
In the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand, Rishikesh straddles the Ganges, linked by suspension bridges and flanked by the green foothills of the Himalayas. It is close to Haridwar, another holy town for hinduism.

"An incredible trip to India"
Dear Pankaj, you delivered what we had been missing during our last six trips to India—a truly authentic Indian experience! Every part of the journey felt thoughtfully planned, allowing us to connect with the culture, people, and destinations in a much more meaningful way. A piece of advice for anyone hesitating to work with you: If you are tired of cookie-cutter tours and are looking for an authentic, personalised travel experience in India, you are absolutely in the right place. Thank you for creating memories that we will cherish for years to come.
Ms Elaine & Mr Wayne Helson, UK
"Nothing Short of Extraordinary"
We have had the most amazing time, great hotels and great experiences. Our drivers and guides have been excellent, in particular Govinder Raj who has been our driver and companion for the last ten days. Govinder has been extremely obliging and has made sure we have been safe and where we should be, on time, with all our belongings and with a stack of goodies and water. He has kept the car immaculate both inside and out, and has driven us with care and skill on all our journeys. Your planning of all the inclusions such are the ceremonies at temples, boat rides and the Everest Flight made the whole trip one never to forget.
Mr & Mrs Davies-Webb, UK
"Highly Recommended"
I wanted to take the time to thank you for all the hard work you put in to arrange a magical honeymoon for us. We had a ball. All the transfers worked like clockwork, the hotels were great and the route planning excellent. We really felt we were spoon-fed all the way through.
Ms Gayle Rawes & Mr Andrew Slatford, UK
"Superb Service"
The outcome of this trip far exceeded our expectations and we would recommend your agency without any reservation. Our sincerest thanks for a well planned and executed tour.
