Northern Forts and Sacred Places (10 days)
This is a short tour to introduce you to some of India’s most holy places. The Taj Mahal and erotic temple complex at Khajuraho is included as is the mysterious city of Fatehpur Sikri.
Explore itineraryIndia is governed by the heart. More than any other destination in the world, India reaches out and touches you. The romantic palaces of Rajasthan, the serene peace in places such as the Thar Desert, the awe-inspiring Himalayan Mountains and a host of “hidden gems” wait to be discovered. Most of us dream of visiting India at least once and India guarantees to surprise you. Even experienced travellers to India are constantly wrong-footed and delighted by the things India reveals.
Your wish-list may include tigers, sailing down the Ganges or exploring the Kerala backwaters, beach time, a trek amongst the world's highest peaks, exploring the amazing variety of temples and getting to grips with the bewildering subtleties of Indian society.
India is a land where men sing when they’re happy; women turn into dancers when they go to the corner shop; food in your stomach is music; and music is the food of the heart.
Everyone at VentureCo has experience of India and we know that an encounter with India will touch your heart.
