India & Bhutan: Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Thimphu
$2200
per personThis 10-day trip is a perfect all-in-one introduction tour to India and Bhutan! Begin with a journey through India to witness the bustling and busy lifestyle. Explore the rich history of the Mughal empires and the British Raj through the kaleidoscope of India’s Golden Triangle: Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. Walk the heritage journey through sacred Hindu and Islamic landmarks, ancient forts, beautiful palaces and the most magnificent shrine for a lost love, the Taj Mahal.
Continue to the eastern Himalaya mountains where Bhutan offers a life-renewing experience. Bhutan is the only country which measures progress by the happiness of its citizens rather than its wealth. This is one destination with a unique experience to remember. Its physical remoteness, cultural isolation and deep Buddhist traditions make any Bhutan tour an adventure for the mind, body, and spirit. Some may call it a refreshing insight away from modern-day society.
