Tour of cities, forts and tigers
The first few days you will have time to explore Delhi quietly. To cycle to the local market, past mosques and monuments. By rickshaw to Chandi Chowk to breathe in daily life and experience the smells and colours of India. Then to Agra,where you will visit the Taj Mahal at sunrise but also the tombs, the fairytale palaces and the Red Fort.
Countryside and jungle
We leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind us to enjoy the tranquility in the Ramathra countryside and take safaris in one of the most filmed wildlife parks in the world, Ranthambore National Park This huge park is home to a huge variety of flora and fauna and impressive abandoned forts and lakes. This jungle is not only a tiger reserve but also home to jackal, bear, leopard, sambar, chital, nilgai, gazelles, boars, mongoose, dragons and many bird species.
Then it's the turn of breathtakingly beautiful, impressive and fascinating Rajasthan,a state overflowing with centuries-old history, art and culture. A boat ride on Lake Pichola and the beautiful artistic fortresses, palaces and temples in the vibrant colourful cities you visit will leave you speechless.
