Want to see Nepal too? Check out our 15-day India & Nepal tour!
Join us on a tour to magnificent India, a destination which will amaze you with its beauty, culture, and exotic, often chaotic tapestry of ancient and modern. You'll visit New Delhi, where the juxtaposition of old and new makes this city of 10 million a fascinating marvel, Jaipur, the "pink city" full of soft red sandstone buildings, mansions and palaces, and Agra, where you'll visit the Taj Mahal, the world's most opulent and lovely symbols of the love of an emperor for his favorite queen. All of this for an incredible price that is hardly more than the cost of airfare alone!
Day 1: Depart USA. Your exotic journey to India begins this evening as you depart from New York for Delhi.
Day 2: Arrive Delhi. Evening arrival in India's capital. You'll be escorted to your deluxe hotel. Crowne Plaza Hotel Surya New Delhi
Day 5: Jaipur. Enjoy a walking tour as well as a rickshaw ride in Jaipur's old city where you will explore the colorful local bazaar. Also visit the Palace of Winds, the landmark of Jaipur, an extension of the city palace built as harem chambers. The 953 street-facing windows allowed royal ladies to observe everyday life in the street below without being seen.
Day 7: Agra. The highlight of this morning's tour is a visit to the fabled, perfectly proportioned Taj Mahal. This 17th century, white marble mausoleum was built by Emperor Shah Jehan to enshrine the mortal remains of his Queen Mumtaz Mahal.
Day 8: Agra/Delhi. Leisure time for last minute pursuits before returning to Delhi. This evening, join your fellow travelers for a festive farewell dinner. Crowne Plaza Hotel Surya New Delhi (B)
Day 9: Delhi/USA. Early this morning bid farewell. Your memorable journey ends as you arrive New York this afternoon. (B)

Fuel Surcharges: We are all aware of the escalating cost of fuel, and while we had hoped we would not be adversely effected, we are now receiving fuel surcharge notices from many airlines. Most likely, all airlines will soon follow suit. At present, such surcharges amount to $60 per person for this tour. We regret having to pass along these additional charges to our passengers; however, we cannot be responsible for these charges when they are levied except to do our best to notify our passengers of the charges and then collect them on behalf of the carriers.
